I was able to make and save a filter back to the Synology headless MIP.
Now I need to figure out why no ratings are visible in this file. They are an important part of desired Filters. Trackstat and Custom Scan plugins are installed and working. LMS Server log in debug mode for 'Custom Scan' revealed an inability to write to MusicIP. Made a musicip folder inside the LMS /config folder inheriting all permissions from the parent and then reinstalled MusicIP, mapping that folder as /home/musicip. This stopped any export errors. Stopped headless MusicIP to save everything to default.m3lib before opening it in Windows. However that default.m3lib shows no ratings in windows MusicIP Mixer. Stumped again. But I know I'll get it working one way or another. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ guptaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21096 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112703 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
