Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP Integration--At A Loss
OK - a quick recap: 1) you have set up a music folder for SBS that contains nothing but two shortcuts, one to "E:\" and one to "F:\". 2) a full rescan in SBS picks up ALL music from both drives 3) nothing is marked as "mixable" The answer has to be that the paths to the music files stored in default.m3lib do not EXACTLY match the paths to the music files stored in the SBS scanner database. How can this happen? - well, the most likely cause is that MIP is looking at the wrong default.m3lib file... check you don't have more than one of these on your PC. Secondly, check that the file counts match in SBS and MIP. IF everything is set up perfectly, the SONG count at the bottom left of the Home page in the SBS web UI will match exactly with the SONG count in the MIP Win GUI main screen, bottom right. Finally, go to http://localhost:10002/server and click on Show Songs... this will take a while, but should come back with a list of all of your tracks - showing the ACTUAL path stored in MIP... see below: +---+ |Filename: CropperCapture[1].jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=9433| +---+ -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP Integration--At A Loss
Wirrunna, everything behaves how you describe right up until the http://127.0.0.1:10002/api/songs?extended part. After starting the service, it is greyed out, show services displays http://localhost:10002/ just fine. I can click on "API" and "Duplicates" as well. What's odd is http://localhost:10002/api/duplicates takes about 20 minutes to return results, but it works fine. http://127.0.0.1:10002/api/songs?extended (or http://localhost:10002/api/songs?extended) fails after 10-15 seconds max. This makes me think it's not failing due to a large library, but because of something else. As far as the drive letters go: On the first pc with the scsi attached array, the two volumes in question are locally E:\ and F:\. The second computer I just recently tried, does not have the scsi array directly attached to it. I mapped the two volumes as Blue (Z) and Blue 2 (X). I also tried using the UNC path as well--I got the same result in both places. What is the purpose of http://127.0.0.1:10002/api/songs?extended?? What is that supposed to return? How is it possible that MiP integration works great on a single 2tb volume, but this link never works for me? I'm fairly convinced at this point that I have to be the root cause off this issue. I've tried two different computers with two different versions of MiP (both GUI and headless) and several different versions of SBS with both local, mapped and UNC paths. I'm getting the exact same result each time: Everything works great with any configuration as long as SBS does not have to use shortcuts for it's music library. -- Ultraviolet Ultraviolet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16516 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75108 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Ultraviolet, I've been waiting for Phil to answer this, he knows a lot mote about this than I do, but while we're waiting let me make a few comments. 1. In the MIP GUI, click on File, Preferences, Services. It is in this box that you can configure the port used (provided no services are running). If the service is running, the box should show Services Port with 1002 grayed out, it should also show under Enabled Services a tick against API. The tick and API should also be grayed out. Clicking on the Show Services button should bring up your web browser with the address http://localhost:10002/ and the title MusicMagic Services API and display "Active services:* API" 2. If you can get the Active Services display in your browser, then http://127.0.0.1:10002/api/songs?extended should display. I did find while trying this that after going back and forth MIP appeared to hang and I had to stop and start the MIP GUI to get the displays to work. 3.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP Integration--At A Loss
Guys it's definitely possible to get this working and MiP is not buggy as far as this discussion is concerned - I have found it rock solid. Likewise MiP integration into SBS is rock solid for me, using an XP shortcut to a drive or the drive directly as a music folder. One thing - I do NOT have ANY watch folders setup in the MiP win GUI. I always add music manually to MiP. You should try this.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP Integration--At A Loss
Thanks Wirrunna, I actually was running the MiP GUI for years, until I was forced to use SBS shortcuts and ran into this issue. I switched to MiP headless to see if that would solve anything. It didn't obviously. I'm either missing something really obvious, or something is seriously messed up with my system. I've done complete uninstalls and reinstalls of both MiP and SBS, many many rescans etc. Currently I just have a portion of my music in SBS and MiP is working nicely (as long as I don't use shortcuts). I just don't have my whole library in there. It's not the end of the world, I was just frustrated that it didn't work. I find myself using SBS (and my Duet) less and less as SBS stability heads downhill. MiP, and serving music at work, was really the only reason I use SBS anymore. While I think it's absurd that SBS doesn't have the capability to add multiple paths to a library (I believe it's the first piece of software I've found with this limitation), I'm not quite ready to blame the issues I'm experiencing on SBS. I love what MiP does, but it is perhaps the buggiest piece of software I've ever used. I'm also not confident that I'm doing everything properly as many people seem to have this set up working just fine... -- Ultraviolet Ultraviolet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16516 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75108 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP Integration--At A Loss
Ultraviolet, I run a similar setup to yours but with MIP running as a gui (XP SP3). Music in F:\SqueezeCentre Music, which has two shortcuts - Music from F and Music from G - the shortcuts point at F:\Music and G:\Music2. Within these two directories are a bunch of other directories - F:\Music\FLAC - new, F:\Music\FLAC from Broulee, etc - and within these directories the usual Artist, Album, Track structure. Have you tried running MIP as a GUI rather than headless? I have never bothered to run MIP headless for two main reasons, the first being that I make mixes in MIP, save them and then run an "only scan playlists" in SB server, and secondly it just seemed a bit complicated. -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Well, I give up. MiP mix information works great on 2tb of music--as long as SBS is pointed directly at the volume. Shortcuts don't work at all--UNC vs mapped drive doesn't matter and the amount of music doesn't matter. Even with MiP working I can not reach http://127.0.0.1:10002/api/songsextended.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP Integration--At A Loss
Sorry Phil, I was gone for the weekend, but I really appreciate all of your help so far. To answer your questions: http://127.0.0.1:10002/api/songs? gives me a page cannot be displayed screen after perhaps 10-15 seconds. So that definitely seems to be a problem, if not the problem. My Music is on E:\ and F:\. These are two, 2TB volumes on a SCSI attached array on the same machine running SBS. My SBS (containing two shortcuts to E:\ and F:\) music folder is C:\MusicLibrary. "I think your problem is related to step 1. If you are only reading "mixable status" from MiP, this is an incremental process (as I understand it) so the error message you are getting is preventing any new tracks (in MiP) being set as mixable in SBS - however, anything mixable from prior scans stays as mixable. This could lead to you seeing rather confusing results. The whole shortcuts thing could be a red herring." I don't really understand what you're aying here. I don't have any songs mixable at all at this point and it all crapped out when I switched to using shortcuts. One important point that keeps me from thinking that the shortcut thing is a red herring is that I can get a 2TB volume SBS with MiP information just fine. The only change I make is to point the SBS library directly at the file location instead of a shortcut. "I'd concentrate on http://127.0.0.1:10002/api/songs?extended - if this doesn't work when pasted into a browser it won't work in the scanner and you won't be able to add the mixable status of any new tracks at all - even from your existing disk with no shortcuts" I'm not sure about this. I'm trying a scan again with SBS pointed to the actual volume location. I'll try http://127.0.0.1:10002/api/songs?extended and let you know if it works that way. I am running a headless server (setup via instructions on Spicefly) and do have an active the MusicMagicServer process running. Additionally http://127.0.0.1:10002 works just fine and I can see all tracks here. The Windows GUI isn't running, all services are unchecked and I've set the port to 10003 in the off chance they come to life on their own. "...and you are reloading the cache into the headless server (or stopping and restarting the service) after you make any changes to the content of default.m3lib?" Sorry, I don't quite follow this. The cache is loaded into the headless server. I have done some new analysis on both the GUI and http://127.0.0.1:10002 over the last several months, but the caches seem to match and I've restarted this machine so many times trouble-shooting this, that the service has been stopped and restarted many times. I'm using XP SP3, MiP 1.9 (but this issue persists with 1.8 as well), SBS is 7.4.1 r28947 and the browser is IE 7. Just to clarify, the above setup works perfectly when the SBS library is pointed directly to a folder or drive. With the exact same set up, with SBS pointed to a folder of shortcuts, it doesn't work at all. That really seems like a single variable issue, but I am totally at a loss of how to resolve it. You're right, not being able to access http://127.0.0.1:10002/api/songs?extended seems to be the issue, but how do I go about troubleshooting this?

Some more information for you: 1) http://127.0.0.1:10002/api/songs?extended should work when pasted into your browser and should EVENTUALLY return a web page full of all of your songs... it takes about 5 minutes on my PC with 30k tracks... yours will take longer!

I just get page cannot be displayed with the ?extended. The only part of that url that works for me is http://localhost:10002/. The thing is, it works perfectly fine as long as the SBS library doesn't consist of shortcuts. Basically, with the current MiP m3lib, I can point SBS to a 2tb partition full of music and everything works great. If I want to include more music, and point it to a folder containing only shortcuts, it doesn't work at all. This leads me to believe that it has to be a path issue, but I have recreated my default.m3lib with all UNC paths and my SBS music library folder contains UNC shortcuts. I thought this would fix the path issue (if it's a path issue), but no go. Is there anyway to put more than one path in to SBS for a library (there really should be)?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP Integration--At A Loss
Ok, I'm using UNC paths for both MiP and SBS. My entire library is in MiP, but I only placed one small UNC folder in SBS so I could do a quick test--good thing too as it didn't work. Below is a snippet of the log with MiP debug on and the only part that contained an error. Why is it looking for "http://localhost:10002/api/songs?extended";? http://localhost:10002/ works just fine. I'm not sure what the rest of that path is though--it doesn't work in a browser. Any ideas?

OK I'll try (but remember my experience of NAS running apps is zippo!) 1) The results of the music analysis are written to a file called default.m3lib - this is the MusicIP databae on your machine. They are also (optionally) written as tags (just like the album title, track title etc)inside your music files themselves - but ONLY if you enable the MIP setting called "Auto-archive tags" or something like that. You can write them manually in the Windows MIP GUI by selecting files and right-click - Archive Analysis... Archiving the analysis to the files themselves is vital if you want to move files around on your disks...otw mip will rebuild its database and re-analyse the music! 2) If you have the MusicIP plugin installed in SBS, when a scan runs it will talk to the mip server process and for each track it will receive a marker from mip that says "I've anlaysed this and know how to do a mix from it". This will put a little "M" (mixable) icon on the various lists of tracks, albums etc you see in the sbs web ui or on the SB devices 3) If you click the "M" icon SBS and the MIP server will talk to each other and the MIP server will return to SBS a playlist based on your starting track -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

In very brief summary this is what you do (there are some alternatives for step 1): 1) use the MusicIP windows GUI to analyse your music and store the results as additional tags within your music files. This also creates a MIP database called default.m3lib. After that you don't need the GUI until you add new music. 2)Install the headless server version of MIP on your NAS and point it at the default.m3lib from step 1 3) do a full rescan in SBS with the MusicIP plugin activated -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

[SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP Integration--At A Loss
So I've been using MusicIP and SBS for years and years and, while it has been glitchy, I've made it work. That is, until my music outgrew it's 2TB volume. I know that other people here have a similar set up working, but I am clearly missing something. Here's my setup: Music (FLAC & MP3) on two separate 2 TB partitions (E: and F:). Music IP is pointed to these paths directly and all tracks are analyzed (and mixes can be made directly with MiP). A folder (C:\MusicLibrary) contains shortcuts to E: and F: and SBS is pointed here. All tracks are found in SBS, but none of them have the "M" for MiP mixes. My MiP setup is headless, the service is running and http://localhost:10002 works just fine. If I point SBS to directly to either E: or F: (meaning I get half of my music library) the "M" is in SBS and everything is good. The only time I can't get it working at all, is when I have to point SBS to a folder of shortcuts. I know other people have made this work. I have tried probably 30 complete scans trying various things over months and am about to give up completely. I have debug turned on for the MiP log and I can't find any problems with it (portion of log attached). Does anyone have any ideas? For me MiP functionality is the sole reason for using SBS.
