Gentleones,
I am by no means a SlimDevices novice... no, I've got many happy years
of using my SliMP3 under my belt, but today... today I am stumped.
100%, totally stumped.
I cannot get SlimServer to recognize my iTunes library. Here's the
poop:
I ran into a problem earlier today when I noticed that I had no music
through the house, so I looked into things and discovered that the
SlimServer had declared the MySQL problem that some other folks are
having with version 6.5.3. (I had not upgraded to 6.5.4.)
So I thought, it must need to be restarted, right? Cold system (MacOS X
Server 10.4.10) reboot. Same MySQL error.
OK, then, you must need to be reinstalled, and I'll just use v 6.5.4
while I'm at it. All went well, except that the MySQL error occurred
again. Hmmm. Well, how about a reinstall from scratch, deleting
everything that I can find to delete, namely
{~/Library/Caches/SlimDevices, /Library/StartupItems/Slim,
/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer, and even the log file in
~/Library/Logs/slimserver.log}. (Some paths and names may not be quite
right; I'm doing the list from memory.)
It starts up just fine, except that it looks at /Users/admin/Music for
its music source and I'm going to tell it to look elsewhere, which I do
by going to Home>Server Settings>iTunes and tell it that the path to the
.xml file is /Volumes/Sound Master/Music/iTunes and the path to the
files is /Volumes/Sound Master/Music/iTunes Music.
I then use Home>Server Settings>Basic Behavior and turn on "Use
iTunes". Funny thing: neither "Use iTunes" nor "Do not use iTunes" is
selected, but I know that the preference changes because I turned on
d_prefs and also can see it in the slimserver.pref file.
Now if I clear the library and rescan, it finds absolutely nothing. And
it gripes about nothing, too. And if I shut down and restart the server,
it only tells me that my data source needs to be configured.
What gives?
Thanks for any light you can shed on this problem.
Bill
