I've taken a couple of runs at getting headless MusicIP on linux to add music from a remote Windows SMB share (my iTunes library folder) using a folder mounted in fstab without success.
Is this something I should be able to figure out, or does MusicIP actively ignore remote files? Would it also ignore them if I figured out how to share over NFS from my Windows box instead of SMB? Sorry to ask the question about MusicIP here, but as far as I can tell there's no better place anymore. On that topic, is there anything out there that makes similarly interesting playlists so quickly and easily (once it's working...)? I try to 'Add Music' from /mnt/iTunesMedia (see fstab below) using the MusicIP web page but it returns 0 songs. Squeezebox scans the SMB mounted folder fine and finds all the files as expected. The iTunes plugin also finds the iTunes library xml file on a similar share and imports the playlists from it as expected. All that's missing now is that lovely 'M' button beside the songs in Squeezebox...
