The plugin requires: MusicIP (should work with it running with GUI app, but I've only tested with a headless install). Erland's DynamicPlaylist plugin Logitech's MusicIP plugin >Also from what I've been reading it appears that installing MusicIP to >work with Squeezeserver is advanced rocket science, so what would be >the minimum/easiest path to get started? > It's not too bad. 1) Install MusicIP, and scan some music into it. 2) Configure the Squeezebox MusicIP plugin settings: - Ensure the "MusicIP HTTP Port" is correct. - I recommend also setting "Use MusicIP" to "Only read mixable status from MusicIP (faster)", and still configuring a music library path in the squeezebox server settings. 3) Scan squeezebox server music library, which should then read the mixable status from the MusicIP library. Then, to use my plugin: 4) Optionally configure DynamicMix plugin settings for each player. 5) Optionally configure Dynamic Playlist, to enable the Dynamic Mix playlists as favourites (can then start mixes easier from context menus). If you want to use "Dynamic Mix Mood" mixes, you need to define the moods within MusicIP GUI, save the library and may also need to copy a music IP file from one location to another, depending on how MusicIP was installed, etc. Can't remember the details at the moment; will check later if you want to try this.
