Well, I've tried following these instructions - and later posts about stopping / restarting SlimServer - and the little beggars still won't work together. No "use MusicMagic" button has ever appeared. (Should it be on the Server Settings / Basic Settings page?) I don't see any MM icon anywhere (and MusicIP scanned my library quite a long time ago, so almost everything is analysed). OTOH, I *do* see a little "m" with bars above/below it, on the top right of at least some Artists and Albums; but when I press and hold Play, Trackstat appears instead. Could it be that TrackStat and MusicIP are incompatible? Or do I need to change something in TrackStat's configuration? It would be nice to get this working. Sending mixes made with the MusicIP GUI to SS is only sporadically successful, can't be done using the remote (I need either to be sitting at the server, or using VNC from my laptop), and is very irritating when it doesn't work (because then if I really want the mix, I have to save it as an m3u file, then rescan playlists in SS... and wait...) (Argh! Frustration!! I *definitely* checked "API" in MIP's settings, and hit Start, which seemed to work. In both times I stopped SS, when I returned to MIP's settings, API was still checked, but Start was greyed-out. I assumed this meant it was already running. I also thought I'd set up MIP to run as a system service a while ago. But just now I checked Windoze/Sys Info/Services, and no sign of anything remotely like MusicIP listed. Open MIP's Settings dialog - and now "Start" isn't greyed out! So does that mean it *isn't* running after all? And was it really running when it *was* greyed-out? Feck it, I'm fed up stopping and restarting SlimServer for yet more tests. Yet again, I *just* *want* *to* *listen* *to* *my* *music*, not faff about for wasted hours with endless permutations of incomprehensible settings... well, I might have another go sometime - but only once I've actually listened to some nice soothing music!) -- 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=30406 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
