Did all this (by "Reload cache" I assume you mean "Refresh Songs"). Figures hardly changed: Total 14,569; Mixable: 14,509; to validate: 182. (I'm pretty sure that last figure hasn't changed in a long time. Maybe the "next" track to validate is very long, and I never leave MIP running long enough for it to get through it. When I ran the GUI this evening, the "to analyse" figure started off at about 150, then went down to 122 - then crept back up again! Hours later, the "to analyse" display had disappeared completely, so I assumed it had finished. But analysis != validation, I believe.) > Now if you can generate a mix with the web interface of MusicIP then > everything there "should" be working.

Alas, no change: still no "mm" icon for tracks, or much else - as I said, I only see it on Playlists. Other things have a blank where the "mm" icon might have been. Actually, one change, but for the worse: all the thumbnail images are now missing. This is what happens every time I do a clean rescan while the MIP service is running. (Similarly, thumbnails for new/changed music scans don't get picked up either.) I haven't checked this time, but when it happened before, it looked as though the scan process was bombing out at the last minute - so the songs are added, and even the artwork when individual albums are listed, but not the thumbnails. (I haven't been using the machine much tonight, so haven't noticed whether the scanner no longer runs so frequently; but it didn't seem to when I was using it for about 10 minutes just now. I'd read somewhere that SS's scanner might get triggered frequently when MIP is analysing, as it's continually changing the cache.) Ah well, thanks for the suggestions, but it looks as though MusicIP is just not for me! (Mind you, I haven't tried "1.8 stable" yet... but if the same thing still happens, I think I will have to give up, bin MIP and move on!) -- 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=39687 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
