 With the solution to sort by year i would not be able to easily play a

 Perhaps it's just me who likes to shuffle a bunch of albums..
 

Nope. I use browse by year via the web interface all the time. Be
really good if it could be added under More to iPeng.

 None of this should be necessary if you aren't doing bit rate limiting.

I thought you at least had to have quick time installed?

Re: [slim] Music IP question.... sigh.....sigh... :)

 I read this thread after attempting to install 6.5.X for what will
 probably be the last time for me. I still can't get MusicIP (used to be
 MusicMagic) to work. I had it working with 6.3, and tried several months
 ago to upgrade to 6.5. I never got it to work then, but I thought time
 would heal all the problems. It hasn't. I'm still unable to get this
 stuff to work. Oh, well. Back to 6.3.

I have MIP 1.7 working with SS 6.5.1 on Win XP. Though I can't say it
was easy. I don't run the headless mode, but this is what I had to do
to get it working:

Select Use Music Magic
Clear the Music Folder path in Slim (when it was set it caused havoc
with library info, even though it pointed to the same location as MIP)
Don't start Slim at startup
Manually start MIP first on boot
Manually start Slim once MIP has stopped scanning for new stuff
If the library has changed since last time (or if it's your first
time), do a clear library and rescan everything

That worked for me anyway. If MIP starts scanning new stuff while it's
running with Slim though, all bets are off.

Thx.

 Do you have the MM icons appear in SlimServer? That's what I can't get
 to work. I can send mixes made in MusicIP to SS, so that's what I've
 been doing as a workaround. I'd like to run MusicIP headless, though,
 as I was with SS 6.3. I'll try your suggestions. Thanks.

I have the MM icons.

From memory I had to rescan/restart a few times. Plus, you need to
start MM first, and make sure it's not analyising before you start
Slim. Suggest you try setting use MM first in Slim, and clear the music
folder location in the server settings to nothing. Then don't worry
about getting it to work this time, just close Slim, close MM, and
restart your PC. When it boots again, start MM, let it settle down,
then start Slim. Go to server settings and do a clear library and
rescan everything. Then don't touch it until it's finished.

You have to be a little persistent I recall. It should be easier, but
it's not.

[slim] Can I stream Ableton to Squeeze?

2006-01-18 Thread hdarwen

OK, here's what I am trying to do ...

Have a media server running SlimServer locked away downstairs that
drives a couple of Squeezeboxes in the house.

On a different PC I am messing about with Ableton Live to mix tracks
together and generally pretend I am the world's greatest DJ. It works
great but I'd like to listen to what's coming out of Ableton through my
Squeeze (not the PC speakers).

I can't find any streaming capability in Ableton, but was wondering:

- Is there a way to stream from my Ableton PC to the media server
running Slim and have this played through Squeeze in real time?

- Or could I install a separate SlimServer on my Ableton PC and have it
magically stream the sound card output to the Sqeezebox?

Both PCs are running Windows (if that makes a difference). Any
suggestions appreciated!

Thx.

H.
