And it worked. I copied the file across to the server, moved it to my IRBlaster dir, changed as root and relocated to that directory, fixed ownership on the file to look the same as the others (in my case, squeezeboxserver;nogroup). Then I went to a player prefs>IR-Blaster, hit Reload and there was the MSR device in full glory.
I believe there are 2 possibilities at this point: either you're not adding to the right directory, or the file is not readable (owner/rights issue) by the server. Do you savvy the Terminal app on the Mac ? This is what I'd do: 1. Go the the dir: "cd /full-path-to-IRBlaster-dir<return>" (don't type the quotes. Hit return after each commands below to launch execution) 2. Have a look at the damage: "ls -la" (a list of files in the dir, owner, rights is displayed) 3. Change what's needed. 3.1 Ownership: "sudo chown newowner:group-of-newowner MSR.conf" (sudo asks for your mac login password first. Then when you're authenticated the command is executed with elevated privileges. Once executed, re-do ls -la and the landscape should look different) 3.2 Relax access rights: "sudo chmod a+rwx MSR.conf" (makes the file readable, writable and executable for anybody. Not secure but practical. Once executed, re-do ls -la and landscape should look different) 4. You're done, time to quit: "exit" (and you can close the window and quit Terminal.app. Keeping the window open won't harm and allows to look at the trace. You can use copy-paste if you want to post what you see.) With a reload on the server, a restart if reload fails, you should see the MSR device. If not, I guess this is not the right directory. -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 3 SB Classic, 1 SB Boom iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.6 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: MusicIP Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Find cover art by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins Just Covers by Tom Kalmijn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94051
