Hi jtsqueeze, some questions and ideas to localize the problem: - I would propose to keep the MusicIP pluging activatated, it might help with the debugging. - when you import your files into your library (let the library clear and rescan), does the LMS info show that MusicIP import has happened (xx files imported)? - You can quickly check if MusicIP is working: When playing a song which has been validated in MusicIP, open the context menu (M or +): There should be an option to "Create MusicIP Mix" for validated songs - To test Sugarcube: Make sure that for your player the "SugarCube Mix Mode" is set to standardMusicIP, not freestyle random mixing. While playing a validated song, select "create mix from playing" in the player context menu or select in the web-interface "SugarCube Quick Play". If Sugarcube - musicIp is not working, you should get an alert in the player Display, that there is a MusicAPi problem and that a random track will be used instead. - It might be good to switch on Debugging for the MusicIP and Sugarcube Plugin, while doing these operations and look at the log-file - In general I recommend to archive the MusicIP fingerprint in the music files, as this will speed up restoring the MusicIP database if you need to recreate it or want to transfer between different setups
