Interesting. All I can say is that when I first got it all installed and the MiP database scanned into LMS and I was finally ready for action -- or so I thought -- there was no "Create MusicIP Mix" link on the info pages for my songs in LMS. Being so new to it all, I wasn't even completely sure what it should look like and how I was supposed to be able to create a mix. I spent about two very aggravating hours trying to think of reasons why it wasn't working, searching threads in this forum looking for discussion of the problem (surprised to find there was none), and testing hypotheses. What finally got things working was removing the UNC names from the Folder entries in Basic Settings in LMS. I then did various experiments trying to get MiP and LMS integrated using UNC names, since I would prefer to use them, but these all failed. I also use "Only get mixable status from MusicIP (faster)." (Which, by the way, is for me not any faster than the alternative "Import all song data from MusicIP (slower)." Both increase my scanning time by about 50%. But I figure it's better to let LMS read the file tags for itself than to rely on what MiP can read. Not that I noticed any problems due to relying on MiP for the song data -- it just seems unwise to trust it if you don't have to.) So I wonder what the difference between our systems is that accounts for your being able to use UNC. Maybe some difference in our WHS installs? Anyway, I would just advise any other newbie who encounters the problem described above to try replacing UNC names for determining Media Folders in LMS with drive letter paths and see if that resolves the problem. -- dpotts ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dpotts's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92930 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
