All, I discovered the problem: iTunes cannot be depended upon to reliably create an XML file called "iTunes Music Library.xml". In at least one case (mine), it creates "iTunes Library.xml" in the iTunes folder.
Here's the setup: I have an external drive called "Sound Master" which contains on it an iTunes library that has been around since a long time ago. It has been upgraded to 7.4.1 It has on it: Music:iTunes:iTunes Library Music:iTunes:iTunes Library.xml Music:iTunes:iTunes Music (lots of folders inside "iTunes Music") Music:iTunes:Album Artwork (irrelevant folders here) I discovered that by creating a soft link to iTunes Library.xml called iTunes Music Library.xml, I can get SlimServer to find the file! It also appears that specifying not only the path but also the name of the iTunes-created XML file in Server Settings>iTunes>ITUNES MUSIC LIBRARY.XML LOCATION will work, but I haven't verified this yet. At least for my case, iTunes creates only a file called "iTunes Library.xml," so that's something to be aware of. Whew. /Bill -- BillEccles ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BillEccles's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13190 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38414 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
