... and curiously enough, nor do I today! Last night I quit the MIP GUI and put the PC into hibernation. I woke it up again today, but didn't restart the GUI. Sitting downstairs, I offered the wife a demo of MIP in action, then realised as I made the mix that it might not play... but I tried it anyway - and it worked fine. As have others since. No idea why it didn't work at first yesterday, but works today. Like I said, it's all about the chicken voodoo - certainly no mere mortal intervention at work here! > What do you stand to lose by blanking it and doing a clear and rescan? An hour or two of my (listening) life! :-) It was precisely that kind of, "Well, let's just try..." that kept putting me off MIP at first (and second, and third, ...) IIRC, last time I blanked Music Folder I lost all the artwork, and MIP *still* didn't work (mixes on playlists only). > What's changed since it last worked for you - new music, box rebooted > etc? Not rebooted, but was hibernated. Might've added music and did a new/changed scan, but am not sure if this was before or after I closed the GUI. I only know that umpteen attempts to play mixes failed, until I (re)started the GUI on a hunch, at which point they started to be playable. > Finally, are you running MiP headless/SC on Linux or Windows?

Well, at the moment the PC that's acting as our SC server is a general workhorse, and "has" to run Windows for umpteen reasons. I've wondered about getting another box to act as a dedicated SC server, and Linux might be an option; but I have bad memories of how much work it took to get Mandrake working on our old PC. Of course, things must've improved considerably since then; but I haven't had the need or the inclination to try again... yet. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
