Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Music IP becomes Amplified Music Service
Are there any plans to integrate something similar to MusicIP into the server or to license the technology? I ask because I really like the functionality but the MusicIP software has some problems that are rather hard to avoid (mainly it seems to ignore files whose names contain special characters). -- tschan tschan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39514 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69402 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I think it has to be #1, since AMS owns the rights to MusicIP. Also, it would (should) make it less quirky than having it as a separate program (I still have issues maintaining linkage). -- GeeJay GeeJay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69402 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Okay, agree that this wouldbe backburner after SBT. I'll try and draft an enhancemenmt request next week. I just submitted my first one today, so I'll wait for some feedback on that before I do a second. Any ideas on approach, i.e. what are we asking for? 1) MusicIP to be licensed from AMS and fully integrated into SBS (full version) 2) MusicIP server to be supported by Logitech and maintained in line with SBS and OS changes 3) All future SBS builds to support old versions of Windows so MusicIp still works. -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio controlled by IR, SBC and iPeng on iPhone 7.4 running on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) http://www.last.fm/user/digimich DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69402 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The best way would be to submit an enahcement in the bug tracking system and put it up for a vote. I'm sure anybody using MiP would vote for it. Right now, I'm sure the SB team a Logitech is primarily focused on getting the SBT out the door, so I'm sure this would be a back-burner effort. I think if MiP was integrated, a lot more people would use it too! It's amazing that despite the hurdles you have to overcome to get it working don't prevent a lot of people from using it.

I think that the inevitable breaking of MusicIP will cause a lot of upset on the forums (far more that my OP is likely to generate). I am not sure whether this is a pure licensing issue or maintenance of the MusicMagic Server software. Either way, I'd encouage Logitech to think through the issue and solutions/alternatives before it happens.

I support this suggestion whole-heartedly. I was dismayed to learn that MusicIP is no longer being maintained. I've been running MIP headless with Squeezecenter for ages, and it is certainly my preferred method for listening to my 12,000+ music collection.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Music IP becomes Amplified Music Service
That's a real shame - losing MIP functionality (which I agree seems inevitable in the long term if it's not being actively supported by the developers and/or available to new customers) is one of the few things that would make me seriously consider sticking with a particular software release and not upgrading beyond that. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Music IP becomes Amplified Music Service
... well my suggestion to Logitech is to license the MusicIP technology and incorporate it within Squeezebox Server. I still use MusicIP all the time to generate playlists for playing on my Squeezeboxes, but the integration between the two applications is hardly seamless and I know it is a matter of time before some other upgrade will stop MusicIP working. -- mikerob mikerob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=835 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69402 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Music IP becomes Amplified Music Service
As I've understood all developers that knows the MusicIP source code has left the company, so the development of MusicIP is halted and has been so for a while. The statement: "Amplified currently has no plans to offer support for MusicIP Mixer." which is shown on the download page also makes it pretty clear that they have no plans to update the MusicIP code.
