After a series of surprises today, my wife has Ordered me to configure MusicIP so that it can be forbidden from adding Progressive Rock to its mixes. So I created a suitable named filter in the MIP GUI (once I realised that Library / List Custom Filter... didn't seem to do the trick). But I can't get the little sod to show up in the SqueezeCenter MIP plugin settings. I've tried stopping and restarting SC, both with and without stopping and restarting the MIP GUI. I've tried telling MIP to save the library cache (though I wouldn't expect to have to do this "just" for a new filter). I've tried a full rescan (luckily finding other things to do for the hour that this took, 30 minutes of which was thanks to MIP alone). No joy. The list of filters remains resolutely stuck at "(None)". So I'm posting this to register my frustration, because previous experience shows that this is exactly what I need to do before it will work. :-) I'm still finding MusicIP integration quirky. Several times today I created mixes in the SC web interface only to discover that selecting the Play icon did absolutely nothing; the only "solution" was to repeatedly generate mixes until one did actually work. (And then I managed to sync with another player in the wrong direction, and wiped the playlist anyway!) Even trying to play single items from the generated list did nothing. Later still, mix generation from the SC webface stopped working completely (all mixes were "empty"). No such problem with the Controller interface, but I was using the webface for other things that aren't available on the controller, and it's annoying to have to keep switching between control devices... When SC+MIP works, it's pretty good; but it just doesn't seem to be reliable, and I've yet to discover why it works sometimes but not others. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48339 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
