Quoting John Gorst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Does enabling musicmagic support cause a big hit on performance? The paragraph about musicmagic in server settings suggests that it will import the musicmagic library info? Is this strictly true? Or does it simply send the artist/title/genre to the musicmagic service which then spits out a playlist?
SlimServer can use your MusicMagic program as source for title and genre information.
This brings all the same info as tagging would, except that the info is provided primarily from the musicmagic API. Tags are still read to gather any missing info.
Additionally you can generate instant mixes on genre, artist and song level.
These are on-the-fly mixes available by press-and-hold play form teh player UI, or via 'mm' links in teh web UI.
it will also import any playlists that you've created within the musicmagic application, plus slimserver will import the list of what musicmagic has determined are possibly duplicate tracks.

So in theory the database shouldnt be any larger, just more complete.
One problem I have had so far is that the MMM is 'analysing', so updates its database.So the slimserver updates from MMM every 60 seconds - obviously this is configurable, but it is not immedietly obvious what is happening.
I assume that even if I set the timeout to a rediculous large figure, each time I restart slimserver (and assuming MM database has been updated), slimserver will update itslef against MMM. This takes a long time on my system!
Would it be possible to tell slimserver not to get tag info from MMM, and just use it for on-the-fly mixes?
Cheers
