Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: MuiscIP + SlimServer != 'Browse folders'
Well, I'm stumped. I've read this thread 3 times, the WIKI post on how to integrate MIP (latest version download...V 1.7.1) with SS (I'm using version 6.51), and read the page hosted by MIP. Nothing works as advertised. Any input appreciated. Have you tried running MIP from the command line? - stop SlimServer - start MusicMagicServer.exe from the MIP folder - restart SlimServer - verify the MIP plugin settings I make sure that in the Services tab of Preferences in MIP that API is checked and the service is started. This often didn't work for me. Running the server manually did. -- Michael - http://www.herger.net/SlimCD - your SlimServer on a CD http://www.herger.net/slim - AlbumReview, Biography, MusicInfoSCR ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Nothing works as advertised. Any input appreciated. I have made sure (12 times) that the plug in for MusicMagic is checked in SS, and I click the change button. I install MIP. I stop SS. I open MIP. I make sure that in the Services tab of Preferences in MIP that API is checked and the service is started. I start SS. In the general server settings, I do NOT see the Use MusicMagic option at the bottom of the screen. I then try all sorts of permutations of starting, stopping, rescanning, clicking, praying...you know, all of the supertitious things we do when the logical stuff does not work. One clue, if indeed it is a clue: I do NOT have SlimServer listed in the Send To tab of Preferences in MIP. I see this in the screen shot of a previous poster on this thread. Should it be there? It is quite hard to determine, as the support Forums are all referencing old versions of MIP (or is it MMM...I'm lost in acronyms). Can anyone help. Seems like SS doesn't know MIP is there, or MIP isn't addressing SS, or something. I've left the port at the default on both the SS and MIP sides. Can anyone help? I have found the following; * Make sure MusicIP validates ALL songs before being connecting it to SS * Once MusicIP is ready, start SS (and allow SS to start properly... might take some time... I went away 30 minutes) * SS 6.5.1 is the nighly build, and they differ quite much... I tested several and found that that the 2006-10-20 worked for me... the previous ones did NOT work especially good (read crashes and similar).

Could the problem be that you're not using the SuperDateTime plugin that's for SS 6.5? If you're using an old version of the plugin, the plugin fails and pretty much crashes SS, causing the screen to be blank.

It's come to the time to change the way AlienBBC announces itself
again... and I can't seem to be able to get it to do it!
I'm sorry to ask for a third time, but can anyone help?
I have tried changing the lines 1316 to 1318 in Alien's plugin.pm from

return('PLUGIN_ALIENBBC')
To this:
sub getDisplayName()
{
return('PLUGIN_BBC Radio')
but AlienBBC completely disappears from the SlimServer GUI (after a
service restart).
I've looked through the plugin.pm's of other SlimServer plugins but get
no real help there (infact many don't even appear to have the
getDisplayName() call). I did wonder if it was the space that did it
but other plugins appear to announce themselves using spaces so I'm
stumped (I've now also tried it without a space and it still
disappears).
Any help appreciated.

getDisplayName must return a string token, not a string. By changing
it, you have now provided a nwe token for which there is no localised
string, thus you get blanks.
instead, look for the strings() function, and replace the
PLUGIN_ALIENBBC translations to suit.
