No disagreement from me there :-) > I do mean Reload cache.. see attached pictures, before and after.

When I investigated a few minutes ago, I realised that the Prog Files copy of default.m3lib (to which mmm.ini pointed) was now older and smaller than the file I'd copied by hand to Docs-and-Settings, so *something* has been updating the latter. Both are several days old; I've been running the MIP service, but not the GUI, so I guess that it was the GUI that did the writing. Changed mmm.ini, restarted the MIP service (which also caused SS to restart). *Still* no "reload cache" button, still no change in SS. Did a clean scan in SS... still no change. (Just to confirm, test mixes from the MIP server page work fine.) > Ok back to basic :S > You do have "use MusicMagic" selected on the SS Server -> Basic > Settings pages. > Plugin is ticked on SS Server -> Plugins -> MusicMagic > > SS Server -> MusicMagic -> > MUSICMAGIC HTTP PORT > Check this is the same port as the webside of MusicIP as in the mmm.ini > file > > MUSICMAGIC RELOAD INTERVAL > For this I have mine at 6000, maybe if there is something clashing set > this to 0 to disable it. Yes to all of these, though my reload interval is 3613. I have tried setting it to zero in the past, but it didn't solve the thumbnails or no-mixes problems. Still no thumbnails. In earlier tests, I observed that if I selected "Don't use Music Magic" in SS and rescanned, I'd get thumbnails, but not if I rescan after selecting "use Music Magic". (If the option isn't there because SS can't see MIP, then I still get thumbnails as well.) I infer that *something* about the MIP/SS integration loses the thumbnails. > That would be a shame as its a great product :) So I keep hearing, and I've found the mixes it generates from the GUI "interesting"; though I don't always agree with the selection, there's usually a fair amount that I'd never have thought of including, but which strikes me as apt. I'm finding that the mixes on playlists are a bit weird, with a lot more far-flung choices. (For example, Blur included in a mix from an ECM Norwegian jazz playlist!!) But that was doing it from the SB remote, which seems to offer umpteen MIP mix settings (ah, and I do allow player-specific settings...) A mix from the same playlist made under Fishbone looks much more reasonable. Looks as though the remote doesn't start from the server-set default settings. > I always update my library via the GUI, let it archive analysis into the > files, when its finished close it. > Bring up the MusicIP GUI, hit the reload cache button, then close that. > > Then bring up SS and hit the look for new and changed, or sometimes > clear and re do the lot option. > Then it just works :) I believe that analysis is essentially complete; I think that running analysis from the GUI again just slows the computer down whilst MIP tries the few tracks it can never analyse again - and fails again. Just a hunch, but you can see my figures in an earlier post. (Ha! I take that back: the figures for the "new" cache are slightly different: total 14,569 / mixable 14,517 / 0 to validate. The total hasn't changed, mixable has risen by all of 8, and to-validate has been wiped from 182.) > I'm assuming that SS is generally stable?

The server gets shut down every night (usually hibernation). Because I'm using DNS, my SB3 sometimes has to play hunt-the-server when I turn it on, but that's easily done. During earlier attempts to get MIP+SS working, I wiped the SS cache completely. This didn't help, and I'm loathe to resort to it again "just" for MIP's sake. I'm not saying I'm going to do it yet, but if I do remove MIP, will I also have to undo the registry change that makes SS's startup depend on it? -- 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
