cparker's instructions - and haunyack's reaction - got my hopes up; there are details in there that I'd not seen before (e.g. changing the GUI port), and it is a nice concise description. Perhaps even worth losing many hours' working context and trying a reboot... Unfortunately, I don't seem to be any better off afterwards: now SS has finally started (it crashed on reboot, but manual start was OK), it does recognise MIP, but I still don't get the ability to build mixes from Artists, Albums or Songs. So far mixes from Playlists are the only things I've spotted; which is no better than I'd managed before. I must admit I didn't follow the instructions to the absolute letter. When I changed the cache location (to under Docs and Settings), the MIP web page's song count remained steadfastly at zero. When I looked, it's obvious that though I'm running MIP 1.8.1b, it's definitely updating the default.m3lib cache that's under Program Files, and there was no copy under Docs and Settings (for me or anyone/anything else). Restoring the cache setting in mmm.ini and restarting the MIP service did the trick: a nice full cache, with only a few songs unanalysed. Generating test mixes from cparker's new server page (much improved indeed) worked fine too. But no improvements in SS. (Actually, first I tried copying the cache file to under Docs and Settings; this worked too, but subsequently MIP modified the Prog Files copy, so that's why I think its still the active location.) Another niggle is that even running MIP headless, for some reason SS's scanner is kicking in frequently (once per minute, I think); I've tried setting the MIP reload interval in SS settings to something huge, but it makes no difference. (Perhaps setting it to zero (== disable) will help, but might that be a bit pointless?) Since I use my PC for other things, this can be a bit of a nuisance as it sometimes freezes whatever I'm using when this happens. (If, as someone has suggested, this is because MIP hasn't finished analysing my collection, then it probably never will - it *has* analysed the vast majority, but there are a few tracks that it never seems to finish analysing, and it never seems to give up trying either.) I've no idea why I have so much trouble getting MIP + SS to work. It's frustrating to be able to generate mixes from playlists (which I rarely want) but not from individual songs (which is what I'd really like). I can't see anything that I've done wrong. If I remove the MIP service, will I have to undo the registry setting before I can run SlimServer again? -- Brian Possibly pertinent details: SS last official 6.5 release MIP 1.8.1b Win XP SP2 -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39687 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
