Re: [slim] Trouble with MusicIP Headless, SC7.3, and Sugarcube
Michael -the folder is on the NAS drive, and MiP is running as a service (ie. in headless mode). However, in the meantime, I have solved my problem and got it to work - not sure if this helps you, kook, but here is my solution. My music is stored on an external ReadyNAS raid drive in a folder called FLAC FIles, which, in terms of UNC path, is at \\Nas-01-13-59\media\Music\FLAC Files However, for ease of access, I mapped the path in Windows to G:\ When adding music to library in MiP I had simply navigated to the FLAC Files folder using the mapped G:\ drive. Since SC would not recognise the G:\ drive, I had to use the UNC path in the music folder. This created a mis-match in the path names, hence the problem. To solve it, I deleted the MiP cache, then re-added music to the MiP library using the UNC path (navigating there through "My Network Place/Microsoft Windows Network, etc.), and then re-rcanned/validated the whole collection. Having done that, I then made sure that I left the UNC path in the SC music folder, set the MiP Plugin to only check for mixable tracks, cleared the SC cache and re-scanned and, hey presto, the two paths matched and MiP worked in SC (the little M logos appearing and playing fine). -- wreford wreford's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54982 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Kook - I have a similar problem - and a very similar set-up. I have: * Intel(R) Pentium (R)M 1.70GHz running on a Sony Viao with WindowsXP Pro v. 2002(Service Pack 3); * ReadyNAS external raid drive, with music folder mapped as G:\ network drive * SC - Version: 7.3 - installed 27 Nov * MIP - v.1.8.1b, installed, analyzed, and working properly (can send mixes) * - GUI Port is set to 10003, and API services disabled * MIP Headless - installed, set up according to Spicefly's guide, Spicefly's skin, and can create a test mix. * - MMM.ini file is configured with the proper libary path, and port is set to 10002. * Sugarcube - v1.7.1 configured according to Spicefly's guide I have also found that, despite configuring MiP plugin to scan for only mixable tracks: either - if I leave the music path in the SC folder blank, it builds the library from a MiP import - all of which do show the M logo - but then my squeezebox cannot play any of the songs; or - if I do specify a music path in the SC folder, then it builds the library and can play the songs but none of them has the M logo. So I would be interested to hear what solution you find too. I have sent a copy of this query to the support people and will let you know what they say.

Re: [slim] Trouble with MusicIP Headless, SC7.3, and Sugarcube
I changed everything to 10003 (the MIP GUI port) and re-started the API services on MIP GUI, but still SugarCube is not working. To verify if it is a blocked port somewhere, I have temporarily disabled both my AV and Firewall. Since the Mip headless is working (songs verified and mixable match the MIP GUI, and I can do a test mix), I am going to concentrate on that. I switched everything back to port 10002 in order to match that. I'm doing a full rescan and will see if the disabled AV and FW have an effect. -- ob_kook SB2 --> Axiom passive pre --> Portal Paladin monoblocks --> Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MKII ob_kook's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54982 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

(or vice versa) When you press the create text mix button in the MIP headless, look at the Port number in the URL string ie. http://localhost:1000x ??? Then make sure to use the 1000x everywhere in SC/Sugarcube etc. If its not that, then it is likely firewall settings or AV blocking the 1000x port. Additional tests you can do, is start the API in the MIP GUI settings and see if SugarCube starts working. Which would indicate whether that Port is blocked by something.

[slim] Trouble with MusicIP Headless, SC7.3, and Sugarcube
This is not a re-post of my other thread, but rather a continuation. I had done enough changes to my system that it just seemed to be more confusing to stay on that same thread. (Thanks Raven22 for your assistance on that thread) Problem - cannot get MIP Headless integrated correctly with SC, and as a result, cannot get Sugarcube working either. Description - System: * Intel dualCore box (home built) with Vista Ultimate. * RAID 5 comprised of 4x600GB SATA drives direct attached to the mobo * SC is running on a virtual machine hosted by the Vista O/S on WinXP * (For all intents and purposes, consider I am working with XP Pro SP2 as a VM is exactly like a physical machine) * (Since the RAID5 is one the Vista O/S, it acts as a network share volume) * SC - Version: 7.3 - 23837 @ Fri Nov 7 03:08:40 PST 2008 * MIP - v.1.8.1b, installed, analyzed, and working properly (can send mixes) * - Port is set to 10003, and API services disabled * MIP Headless - installed, set up according to Spicefly's guide, Spicefly's skin, and can create a test mix. * - MMM.ini file is configured with the proper libary path, and port is set to 10002. * Sugarcube - v1.7.1 configured according to Spicefly's guide OK, before this, I was on 7.2, and due to the incredibly long MIP import times, I decided to switch to 7.3 since the patch was integrated in that version. Before that time, I *did* get both MIP and Sugarcube working, but I had double entries in my library. After configuring all of the above, refreshing the MIP headless cache, and rescanning SC, I no longer have "M" in my library entries, and SugarCube simply stops or repeats a single song depending on what repeat setting I choose. I've gone through the threads by Model Citizen, SlimChance, OhPinchy and others, meticulously followed the SD Wiki, Spicefly's guide, and the MIP forums, but I am just plain stuck. I'm sure it is something I've overlooked or done incorrectly, because everything obviously works, but like proofreading your own writing, I can't spot the glaring mistake.
