Help! i'm having a party tonight and my LMS won't scan my itunes
playlists.
I stumbled across this, so i did some tests:
-- i added some new songs, hit clear library and rescan everything
and they DO appear in the library list of songs (that's good)
-- i changed some existing playlists, hit
Fixed it! for some reason i discovered two iTunes iTunes Database XML
files, one named iTunes Library that whose last changed date was weeks
ago, and one named iTunes Music Library whose last changed date was
today. I pointed LMS at the latter and it all works. I don't know why
that new file
Having not gotten any responses, let me ask a more pointed question. I
am wondering whether my problem is that I am running iTunes off a mac
and SC off a ReadyNAS. The result is that the path names in the
iTunes.xml file (which are relative to the Macintosh) don't make sense
to SC and so SC is
I don't use iTunes but from other threads I have read, your analysis is
spot on. I believe the solution is to either set up iTunes to store
the .xml file on the ReadyNAS rather than the Mac, or to make an
autocopy of the .xml file on the ReadyNAS.
If you do a search of the forums for
In case it helps anyone else trying to integrate iTunes on one computer
with SC on another computer, I appear to have solved the issue for my
setup with the simple expedient of setting up an aliased folder on the
SC machine so that when SC follows the path in the iTunes .xml it gets
to the right
I am having trouble getting SC to recognize and import iTunes playlists.
If this has already been answered elsewhere in the forums, my apologies
but I could not find it. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is my set-up:
- I am running SC 7.3 on a ReadyNAS Duo that also has my iTunes
files.
I recently had a conflicting IP problem with my wireless network and was
offline for a couple of days. When I finally had time to fix the
problem, which meant resetting my Airport Extreme and reconfiguring my
entire wireless network, I re-entered the settings for my Squeezebox
V3. Everything
Where is your iTunes XML library file located? Also is your music folder
on the same machine as hosting SS/SC? Where was the IP conflict
exactly?
iTunes is a bit of a pain... if you have it set to 'keep my library
organized' it'll blank things out if your music folder is offline,
disconnected
I just upgraded to SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 running on my custom built NAS
box where all my music lives. The NAS box runs Debian and I use iTunes
to organize my music on my MacBook and keep ratings, smart playlists,
etc. I just moved the iTunes Library XML file to the NAS box and got
it (sort of)
After searching further on here and Google, I did the following:
1. Blanked the music folder in basic settings, so as to only get music
info from the iTunes Library.xml file (this is not optimal for me but
I'm doing it for troubleshooting)
2. Told SqueezeCenter my iTunes music folder was

You may need to specify a Slim Server playlists directory - I couldn't
get SS to pick up iTunes playlists until I did this.
Also, some of the older versions of SS were just crap at reading iTunes
xml (much better with 6.5.2/3)

Find your itunes music library.xml file. That contains your play

SS is already pointed to the itunes xml file (the iTunes playlists are

Did you do a search for other itunes music library.xml files? I had a
total of four library.xml files at one point.
Its weird but iTunes seems to change the location of the .xml in use. I
finally loaded each .xml file in IE and searched trough until I found

Podcasts are the only problem, I don't have any checked items in
Hi all,
Why is it that my iTunes Playlists seem to have a mind of there own
when used with the SB3?
After a few days use, they gradually disappear. If you stop SlimServer
and then run slim.exe from the command line (search on here for why I
did that...) then they come back.
A few more rescans
Gary,
Try the latest nightly release of SlimServer. A bunch of iTunes
related bugs were fixed over the weekend and reports are that it's
much improved.
If you are still having problems, feel free to post here and/or file

Hi
Now I have updated to 6.2 my iTunes playlists do not appear!
The itunes XML file is on the same drive as all the music and I have
set itunes to manage my files. I have tried re-scanning in the

Any ideas?

I'm having an annoying minor issue with Slimserver refusing to recognise
both a newly ripped album (no odd characters in the title) and a new
smart playlist. I've been through every permutation of scanning and

idea of NOT
How do iTunes playlists work and how do i get them to appear in
Slimserver? I used to get the 'standard' itunes playlists appear but
when i add new ones they don't show up in slimserver, even after a
rescan.
I found some m3u files with odd names in the itunes folder and tried
deleting them.
I use iTunes to rip and manage my music - and I rip everything as both
apple lossless and AAC. I keep the different files in different
directories - and so I can point SlimServer just at the lossless
files.
With a few smart playlists I can then use the AAC files on my iPod.
