It shouldn't be installed in the Plugins folder, SC will find it
automatically by trying to establish connection on a specific port.
I can see two possible problems:
1. MusicIP isn't started correctly
2. SqueezeCenter is started before MusicIP
3. You haven't configured MusicIP
To check if MusicIP is started you can after a reboot from a command
line run:
Code:
--------------------
ps aux|grep MusicMagicServer
--------------------
You should get two rows as result, for example:
Code:
--------------------
erl...@squeezecenter:~$ ps aux|grep MusicMagicServer
musicip 4130 0.0 1.6 70588 8344 ? Sl 2008 34:07
/opt/MusicIP/MusicMagicServer start
erland 19743 0.0 0.1 3004 752 pts/0 R+ 06:54 0:00 grep
MusicMagicServer
--------------------
If you only get a single row there is some problem with the mmserver
script. The first thing I would check in this situation is to make sure
you have set the MUSICHOME environment variable row correctly. It should
point to the directory which contains the MusicMagicServer file, not a
MusicMagicServer directory. If I remember correctly I think the MusicIP
distribution by default is unzipped in a two level directory hierarcy,
something like "MusicIP/MusicMagicServer" in this case you will need to
set MUSICHOME to "/home/zipper/MusicIP/MusicMagicServer".
You don't have to reboot to check if it works, you can from a command
line just run:
Code:
--------------------
sudo /etc/init.d/mmserver start
--------------------
And then run the ps command I listed above unless you get any errors.
If mmserver is successfully started, the problem might also be that it
is started after SqueezeCenter. This is configured in the "bum" section
of the wiki, so make sure you have done that part correctly.
If mmserver is started correctly it also needs to find the music. This
is described in the "Building the MiP database" section of the wiki.
