You know, I think I was mistaken about the "bad things." Further
testing, ang grepping these prefs out of the server.prefs file:
Code:
useUnifiedArtistsList: '1'
bandInArtists: ''
composerInArtists: ''
conductorInArtists: ''
..yields
useUnifiedArtistsList: '1'
bandInArtists: ''
composerInArtists: ''
conductorInArtists: ''
The "bad thing" (actually, a relatively minor thing) that happens is
that useUnifiedArtistsList then gets reset to 0 and the interface is
back to using two separate lists for Album Artists and
Code:
JSONSTR='{"id":1,"method":"slim.request","params":["",["pref","useUnifiedArtistsList","1"]]}'
echo "$JSONSTR" | jq
{
"id": 1,
"method": "slim.request",
"params": [
"",
[
"pref",
"useUnifiedArtistsList",
"1"
]
]
}
false. But setting the pref value to '~' results in checked, and
setting it to "" causes bad things to happen.
Please share the exact JSON you sent for an empty string, and what bad
things happened?

Ok, so my json string was screwed up. This works:
Code:
LPREF_VALUE == ignoreInImageScan: ["/mnt/Media/AudioBooks",
"/mnt/Media/MusicGary","/mnt/Media/Music","/mnt/Media/MusicMP3s"]
LPREF == ignoreInImageScan
LVALUE == ["/mnt/Media/AudioBooks",
Sorry to necropost, but I'm trying to achieve the same thing: set the
mediadirs pref from outside lms.
After trying to piece together what's required by following Michael's
suggestion and looking at Slim::GUI::ControlPanel->setPref() and
Slim::GUI::ControlPanel->serverRequest()
..this string
