RE: [slim] itunesupdate plugin problem
No, it's not!
I can't (won't?) run the perl script on SP2, but I suspect
line 222:
$iTunesHandle = new Win32::OLE( "iTunes.Application", sub {$_[0]->Quit;})
try this:
$iTunesHandle = new Win32::OLE( "iTunes.Application")
instead.
(The "Quit" was suggested to stop a potential
memory leak, but on SP2 I think it's Quit'ing the existing iTunes not any new
one that was created.)

Thanks, that worked a

intentional and can I stop it from doing it?

If you're happy editing
the perl script I suspect this is what needs to be
changed:
line
118:
$status =
$trackHandle->{playedDate} = "$year-$month-$day update:

should
be:
$status =

I updated my version of the iTunes
Update plugin yesterday from v0.6 to v1.0 and it now seems to have broken. It’s
logging all the tracks I play as it always did, but when I run the
iTunesUpdateWin.pl script to update the info in iTunes, I get the
following:-
==logTrackToiTunesWin()
Attempting to make connection to
iTunes...

Access to Internet radio via SlimServer is unchanged for SB1 and SB2. As long as there are free stations available, you will be able to freely access them through your Squeezebox. The "always-on" functionality, available through the SqueezeNetwork, allows you to use a SB2 (including listening to radio) without having a local machine running SlimServer.

Does anyone know if is possible to partialy integrate with
iTunes just enough to get the playlists? I have
not allowed iTunes to "import" all of the music, just index a file share, but it
would be nice to make use of playlists built on the iPod. An alternative
would be to push the SlimServer playlists that I have created into
iTunes.

I remember that I exchanged some emails with someone on the list to debug it but despite the registry settings looked correct the software was returning "" as the path... So since then I enter the path where my library is (somewhere in my user profile) and my music folder which in my case is D:\iTunes. That's it. Every time I reinstall a new version of slimserver I just use the installation parameters that says that it should start automatically. I can see the service stopping and restarting during the installation. In the control panel the service is there running on automatic! Perhaps in the meantime the "automatic search for the library" has been fixed but I never bother checking again as specifying the path worked fine for me.

RE: [slim] WPA or WEP encryption - any issues with SB1 (firmware 40)?
I have WEP enabled, I believe WPA is not supported for SB1 (I assume it's unlikely to be at this point now that SB2 is out) You can't use 'shared-key' encryption either - this got me for a while. Other than that it was painless. I only use 64 bit encryption (lazyness).

RE: [slim] ITunes Confusion
Patrick, The 'iTunes' plugin that comes with the standard installation is for reading iTunes library & playlists into SlimServer. The 'iTunes Update' plugin, which must be installed separately, is for writing SlimServer info back to the iTunes library. I'd suggest you enable the --d_itunes debugging option and check the log for errors.

RE: [slim] iTunes / OSX / Mac Mini / Ripping = yikes
Have you changed the default iTunes library scan interval? With it set to the default of 60s, SlimServer will be scanning the iTunes library constantly while you are ripping.

I'm a longtime happy slim owner - up until recently I've run the 5.4 server on a martian netdrive (low power linux box), but, for closer integration with itunes and my ipod etc, I've decided to experiment with putting the server on my new mac mini, where I also intended doing the ripping from within iTunes using blacktree's lame plugin. I have a slimp3 and a SB1. 6.x releases on my martian seemed to crash a lot when trying to open radio streams, so now seemed a good time to move across, and I also took opportunity to copy music from my 10/100-only accessible Martian to an external firewire drive. So far so good - after remembering to open both ports on my mini's firewall (original slimp3 only needed 9000, hence much confusion on my part) and installing 6.0.2, setting iTunes to look to music I've placed on external firewire drive all works nicely. Live search is great ! (but doesn't work in Camino yet?) OK - now I figured I'd test the end-to-end workflow, ripping a CD and observing it turning up in itunes and slim with no extra copying. And it works ! Yay. But, while ripping it basically seems impossible to do anything with my slims whatsoever. In fact, they both blackout and lose connection sporadically as the rip progresses, I _think_ coordinated with the write of file and tag info - is this simply because the itunes communication with the server is thrashing during the encode ? Is there anything I can do here ? Anyone in same boat ? I'd expected that if I was listening that the rip perhaps would go more slowly but that the server would still be able to serve with a reasonable 'nice' level but no can do it seems - moreover I even lose the displays completely. This all makes me a little worried that my mini is not going to work out as a server if it's doing anything else which is a tad disturbing given that it's a 1.42GHz with a gig of memory and using external fast firewire drive. Am I missing some way of optimising my setup and workflow? I'm also very curious about other mini owner's experiences of running the server - I'm almost contemplating sticking an old laptop on the network ONLY to act as a music server, to be honest Thanks for a great product, despite my grips above! and for all the superb support, -g. -- gocam ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

No, the scan just checks for the modified time changing on the XML file. This seems like a really sensible suggestion as the user's iTunes activity is likely to come in bursts when adding tracks or modifying tags. I'd suggest opening this as an enhancement request... >Actually - I'm curious now - doesn't the perl script simply check the >iTunes cached file tables for changes, or is it plowing through all the >subfiles on the disk ? Can I make it do just the former if it's doing >the latter ? The scan checks the iTunes XML file. As I understand it, any new tracks are added to the database and the file scanned for tag info (the XML does not contain all the tags SlimServer requires - which ones are missing I wonder?) If a track is already in the database it is ignored unless the file modified time has changed. This is actually pretty quick if 99% of your library has not changed. What I find kills SlimServer performance is scanning of the playlists - I have a number of thousand+ track playlists and when they are scanned is when I lose connectivity. One enhancement already suggested is reading only selected playlists from the XML. >Another thought - on the mac platform, wouldn't it be possible to listen >for applescript notices/events or something to know when itunes is in >process of ripping or itunes-LAME is doing it's thing, and suspend any >synchronization until the end of the process ?

RE: [slim] Possible to play songs directly from connected iPod?
Playing songs from a mounted iPod should certainly work but my experience with 6.0 is you can't play files without adding them to the SlimServer database.

It's probably not a problem (as well as being unavoidable at this point) but the original poster did say not to put them in the database!
