[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Imported iTunes playlists coming up empty/not working using LMS CLI?

2018-12-09 Thread htcheng
Hi All, I've come across this problem a few times and it's driven me bonkers trying to figure out the problem and solution, so I thought I'd share this here. If you are using iTunes playlists imported into LMS, the CLI commands for "playlist" using the name of the playlist or URL don't work!

Much thanks ... this is not how I remember this working. I will explore it, because if confirmed, then no more rescans! I don't recall this behavior ... rescans were required to listen to any album. I'll be very happy if I've simply not paid close enough attention, or didn't wait long enough, for

The folders "Cache" and "prefs" (which were created in the very first steps) are located in "Multimedia" – I think this is where they are supposed to be, isn't it? steklo's Profile:

I have certainly used browse by folder to access new music - before the scan has run. Playing it adds it to the library so can avoid doing a scan - although there are some limitations I think (for example - am not sure that it processes a .cue file that indexes into a big MP3 file). Paul

If you put a new album in the folder that LMS scans, then using "Music Folder" to browse to that new album automatically adds it to the LMS database without needing to do a scan. If you use "Discs & Folders" to browse to folders that LMS doesn't scan, then you can play it, but it doesn't get

Greg, Curious about this: When I add a new CD, and before a rescan, I use "browse by folder". It's been my experience that Browse By Folder is based on the scanned library because it does not do a "read" of the file system when it's used, but simply offers a different 'view' of the scanned
