Well, I made a half-hearted attempt at getting MIP + SS to work:

- stopped both services;
- rummaged around in various Temp dirs, but couldn't see anything
relevant;
- wiped SlimServer/server/Cache (actually, moved it away);

I must admit I didn't reboot. I'd lose too much context on other stuff
I'm doing on the machine right now.

- started MIP GUI; under Prefs/Services, API was checked, but both
Start and Show Services buttons were greyed-out; yet Server/Test
Service said all was OK, so I left it at that;
- started SS.

The scan took about 25 minutes. My thumbnails reappeared - yippee!  But
no sign of MusicMagic at all. B*gger.

Stopped SS. Started the MIP service (from Control Panel /.../
Services). Restarted SS.

"mm" icon appears (in Fishbone), but only for playlists.

On other items, there's definitely a blank space to the left of the
TrackStat icon.

So, no progress at all, just another waste of time.
(Well, not really; hopefully wiping the cache will have removed lots of
detritus. Have yet to discover whether anything important has gone as
well!)

I bet if I do a rescan now, my thumbnails will all disappear.

So: I can only use MoodMixes created in the MIP GUI (which is a bit
fiddly), or generate new mixes from  playlists.  Better than nothing, I
suppose.  But I also have to remember to stop the MIP service before
doing a scan in SS, so thumbnails get generated.

And that's how it's going to be until some upgrade of either MIP or SS
fixes this, or I get fed up an remove MIP. I'm through with trying to
fix it myself.
