Have you got a path to the music folder or a playlist folder in SS server settings? If you are using MM to organise the music, these settings should be left empty. > I'll try delete the cache files (the whole Cache directory??) and see if > it helps. Yes, on a Windows system delete the whole Cache folder at C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Cache > Is there a way to add files without using the MM client?

You can just put music into the folder where you keep your music on your hard drive, and tell MM to 'Watch' that folder (last item in MM Options). MM will then scan and analyse any changes to that folder in the backgrounds. And after the MusicMagic Reload interval you've set in SS, SS will rescan and pick up the information from MM. But make sure the interval is big enough so that both programs aren't accessing the files at the same time - 600sec is OK for small changes, retagging etc; but if you're adding three or four new CDs, MM needs time to analyse the music. So I'd suggest you turn off the automatic scan by SS, by making the MM Reload Interval = 0. Then you can wait till MM has finished analysing, and do a manual rescan (I find 'Clear and Rescan' best to be sure of getting the two caches aligned properly) Remember, if you are using MM, then you are letting that software manage your music files and keep the data about you music in its own library. SS then bases its own data about your music on what it gets from the MM cache (which is why you should not give SS a music folder setting of its own - if you do, it will start trying to set up a rival library on its own account, and you'll get conflicts). -- Diana -- Diana ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Diana's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7463 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31265 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
