[slim] Re: iTunes playlists empty after 6.5 upgrade
Maybe, or maybe it's related to the new iTunes version - I know a few things changed because of that. I really don't know, just guessing. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28127 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If the podcasts aren't in the XML file then I don't think slimserver will see them, as it only looks at the contents of the XML file. How about having slimserver scan the podcast directory itself? That way at least they'd show up, although they'd be mixed in with your music which isn't so great.

Anyone? I'm probably going to have to roll back to 6.2 which will be a pain as I've already upgraded a load of plugins :( -- jdp jdp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2844 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28127 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: iTunes Playlists Empty
Thanks in advance for any information. I wasn't sure whether to post in the bug report or here. Slimserver is in the process of rebuilding slimserversql.db after I removed it per the workaround. The following are true for me: - seems to occur more frequently with users who have changed their itunes music folder within itunes to something other than the default. - seems to occur more frequently on windows But - my Music Folder setting in server settings is blank Do I have to do the workaround (which I'm not sure worked yet) every time the iTunes database changes? Thanks again. -- opchiasm ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Part of the problem is that most of the dev's were unable to reproduce it (myself included). There is a replacement copy of DBIStore.pm that was submitted to that bug. if you are not actually running the windows EXE version of slimserver, you could copy that over the one installed from the July 8 nightly and let us know if that work for you as it did for Jason. -kdf ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Re: iTunes Playlists Empty
Ok, so that appears to be the issue. SlimServer isn't detecting your iTunes Music Library. Try this. Stop your server, then move your server settings file Home -> Library -> SlimDevices -> slimserver.pref file to your desktop and restart the server. See if SlimServer can detect your iTunes then. Also, one other thing: If you created an alias to your music folder or iTunes folder, SlimServer can't follow it yet (this is a known bug). Strictly speaking it's not necessary, you can just use the settings in iTunes to point at your music folder. On Jul 4, 2005, at 11:13 AM, morps wrote: Nope.

Re: [slim] Re: iTunes Playlists Empty
Morps, Is there an option to turn iTunes on and off on the main settings page? On Jul 4, 2005, at 10:37 AM, morps wrote: Sure, Dean.

A Bit of Background For what it is worth, I noticed some problems with playlists upon the 6.0 server upgrade where the syncing between iTunes and the server essentially stopped--thus my interest in the latest beta. I should tell you that in the 5.x server days, I had my Music Folder setting pointing to /Volumes/AudioVisual/Music and also had the "use iTunes to manage playlist" (sorry, I can't remember what the exact label was in 5.x, but hopefully you're following me). This worked for me in 5.x... iTunes and Slim server worked perfect--proper syncing. Upon upgrade to 6.x, whatever playlists I had at the time of the upgrade of the server in iTunes all came over, but I never had a successful sync again. Through the 6.0 upgrade, I never changed my settings from which I had everything successfully working in 5.x. Again, this experience of mine seemed consistent with some of the workaround scenarios I read in the bug referenced in this thread (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1278). Status Today Right now, so that I can at least listen to something, I have changed the initial Music Folder setting to: /Volumes/AudioVisual/Music. I do successfully have the server working through my SB. And for what it is worth, all of my iTunes server settings are exactly as defined above, but the server is behaving as though they are null. I hope this all helps and please don't hesitate to ask me to do any troubleshooting that may help the cause.
