Hello - good news! I realised my own stupid mistake which was to leave tracing enabled on the ODBC connector...so the disk access I was experiencing was in fact Windows writing to the log file!. Now tracing is off and the script does indeed work quickly.
Further good news...because the script accesses the SlimServer/Squeezecenter database rather than the file system, it is quite happy with having music spread across multiple discs!. To Ralph... To be honest I'm not sure what I did to get things working. i did install this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6c050fe3-c795-4b7d-b037-185d0506396c&displaylang=en and then re-installed the mysql odbc connector to test the connector, go to settings - control panel - administrative tools and double click on Data Sources (ODBC) go to the System DSN tab and "add" the MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver by creating a new Data Source. set up as follows: Data Source Name - anything you want Description - leave blank Server - localhost (or 127.0.0.1) User - Squeezecenter database - slimserver on the Connect options tab, set port to 9092 Then press "test" - you should see a dialog box "Success; a connection was made!" After that I restarted the machine... If that doesn't work, then the MySQL driver is not installed. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT RCS 2.2X with Good Vibrations S/W - MF X-DAC V3/X-PSU/X-10 buffer (Audiocomm full mods)- Linn 5103 - Linn Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Kimber & Chord cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41597 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
