I was able to get MusicIP working with Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic ) with the help of the Ubuntu Forums and 'HavetheKnow' (http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-the-software/Install-MusicIP.html) How to install MusicIP on Ubuntu Server Bionic Once you have 'installed LogitechMediaServer' (http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-the-software/Install-Squeezebox-server.html) there is a great little application called 'MusicIP' (https://www.spicefly.com/article.php?page=musicip-software) which can be used to create intelligent playlists on-the-fly from within Squeezebox Server. As with a lot of this guide the following instructions work well for Bionic 18.04.
First off we'll need to download and install MusicIP itself. Once we've done that we'll need to change the start order of LogitechMediaServer and MusicIP to ensure that MusicIP starts -before- LogitechMedia Server. If we don't carry out this step then LogitechMediaServer will not be aware of MusicIP (since LogitechMediaServer checks for it on startup) and will just default to using your regular library. Using the Command Line: You should be sitting in your home folder before you proceed: cd /home/*yourusername* to switch into your home folder where *yourusername* is your Ubuntu username. So first off we need to download the MusicIP application from https://www.spicefly.com/article.php?page=musicip-software (use the linux version) to your home folder. Download the compressed MusicIP installation file into the folder you're currently sitting in. Next type: *gunzip -c MusicMixer_x86_1.8.tgz | tar xf -* this will extract the files and create a folder called MusicIP in the folder you're currently sitting in. You can now delete the *MusicMixer_x86_1.8.tgz* file since it is no longer needed: *rm MusicMixer_x86_1.8.tgz* We're actually interested in the MusicMagicMixer folder which is currently inside the MusicIP folder. So, type the following commands to fix this: *mv MusicIP/MusicMagicMixer MusicMagicMixer* this will move the MusicMagicMixer up one level *rmdir MusicIP* This will remove the, now empty, MusicIP folder. *mv MusicMagicMixer MusicIP* This will rename the MusicMagixMixer folder to be MusicIP Now we want to edit the MusicIP configuration file (called *mmserver*)and make changes. So: *gedit** MusicIP/mmserver * (use your preferred text editor gedit, leafpad, vim etc) Delete the entire text of mmserver and replace with this text *#! /bin/sh* *#* *### BEGIN INIT INFO* *# Provides: mmserver* *# Required-Start: $all* *# Required-Stop: $all* *# Should-Start: $all* *# Should-Stop: $all* *# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5* *# Default-Stop: 0 1 6* *# Short-Description: Startup script for mmserver* *# Description: * *### END INIT INFO* *# NON-PRIVIELEGED USER TO RUN MUSICMAGICSERVER.* *USER=* *# PATH TO THE MUSICMAGICMIXERSERVER * *export MUSICHOME=* *case $1 in* *start)* *su - $USER -c $MUSICHOME\"MusicMagicServer start & > /dev/null\" * *echo \"Running MusicMagicServer\"* *exit* *;;* *stop)* *su - $USER -c $MUSICHOME\"MusicMagicServer stop & > /dev/null\" * *echo \"Stopped MusicMagicServer\"* *exit* *;;* **)* *echo \"Usage: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mmserver { start | stop }\"* *exit* *;;* *esac* *USER** **=* should be changed to *USER=yourusername *where *yourusername* is the username you created when you installed Ubuntu. You also need to change *export MUSICHOME=* to *export MUSICHOME=/home/user name/MusicIP/ *where *yourusername* is the same as above. Now save the file to: *sudo mv MusicIP/mmserver /etc/init.d/* Now issue these commands in terminal: *ln -s /etc/init.d/mmserver /etc/rc0.d/K01mmserver * *ln -s /etc/init.d/mmserver /etc/rc1.d/K01mmserver * *ln -s /etc/init.d/mmserver /etc/rc2.d/S01mmserver * *ln -s /etc/init.d/mmserver /etc/rc3.d/S01mmserver * *ln -s /etc/init.d/mmserver /etc/rc4.d/S01mmserver * *ln -s /etc/init.d/mmserver /etc/rc5.d/S01mmserver * *ln -s /etc/init.d/mmserver /etc/rc6.d/K01mmserver * *systemctl daemon-reload* *systemctl enable mmserver* Restart your server for the changes to take effect by typing: *sudo reboot -h now* *-F-u-r-t-h-e-r- -H-i-n-t-s-*- Then install Windows MusicIP GUI in WINE so tracks can be archived https://www.spicefly.com/article.php?page=musicip-software Open http://localhost:10002/server in browser and scan directories Do not use default.m3lib from another install.
