OK, 2nd try. If you want to leave SlimServer running as a service this is what you do: 1) Change the 'direct update' mode of iTunes Update plugin to off in SlimServer's Server Settings, Plugins tab (easy!)
2) Unfortunately you now need to install ActiveState Perl to run the script. The good news is, it's free! http://www.activestate.com/Perl.plex?hdr=1 3) The plugin is now saving your playback history etc. to a file. Finally, you run the iTunesUpdateWin.pl script on this file and that does the updating: e.g. iTunesUpdateWin.pl "C:\My Music\Playlists\iTunesUpdate_hist.txt" You can run the script whenever you want, but iTunes needs to be open when it is running (it will open iTunes if not). Alternatively, you can reconfigure SlimServer not to run as a service to get the direct update mode working. Detailed instructions to do this are on my website (at the end of the page): http://www.jamescraig.co.uk/SlimServer/#interactive In my opinion this is better because you get immediate updates to iTunes, and you can see iTunes info in the web interface. However you will end up with iTunes running all the time, and have to repeat some of the reconfiguration each time you upgrade SlimServer! Hope that helps... James Any problems...let me know!
