[MUSIC] OK, I am stuck in setting up the Music Jukebox 6

[chris_r11]

Thanks Wandij, I think I have it going now. I was using a udp file share over a dlink gig switch. I changed it to smb and made sure all the paths are OK now.

One more question. How come I don't see the genres? I thought I would have a selection of a-z and then genres.

You must either set Use ID3 tags to 'For Song Info and Genre' or have your folder structure set up for this (genre/artist/album). Note that the ID3 tag way assumes MP3 files only.

OK, one last question here.... I have resized the background.jpg file for my SD TV (sigh) but when I have it showing the genre, the albums are way down there out of sight. Is there a way of remedying this?

One feature I would like, is to be able to have all the albums (imagine them in a row) and when you select T, you goto T, but it just puts you at that album in the long row, not just showing the albums that start with a T. I think you have this now, but I would like to be able to have the option to hit the play button to play it.

Thanks for all the (patient) help you have given.

Alright, I just noticed something else. I cannot play an album, I get cannot play file.... MJ6 starts when I go to the MyMusic share and it is playing off the NAS.

I can play individual songs and playlists, but not an entire album... What did I do wrong now?

Are you trying to play from the index page (highlight an album and click play) or by selecting Play All in a detail page? Both should be the same...
Can you play an album selecting shuffle?

[chris_r11]

I am on the PCH, using the interface where All is at the top. I can select any album and hit play, it goes to buffering and then says cannot play. I can also goto the details (where songs are listed) and do a play all, it won't work. But, individual songs will play from that interface.

Thanks.

As an edit, I just rebuilt the html pages and clicked the delete html first... and its the same. I would guess that the paths are right as I can play individual songs.


Another edit: Looking at the html for an album (remember I don't really know html) I see that all the individual songs are pointed at the NAS like they should, but there is reference to a playlist.jsp that I see in each album. Sorry for the choice of album here:

Do I need to let it write to my NAS a playlist for each album?

Music Jukebox automatically saves a playlist for each album. This is the playlist.jsp in each album folder. Sorry to be such a pain, but this is quite perplexing. The path to the playlist.jsp matches the path to the individual songs. Could you post one of the playlist.jsp files in an album folder? I really only need the first line. I want to make sure the path in this file matches the ones you posted above...

[chris_r11]

Oh, the PCH does not have write privs to the NAS. There are not any playlist.jsp files in my individual album folders on the NAS, I thought they would be created on the PCH, but it seems they are not. Should/can they be?

You a pain, no, that's my role.

The PCH doesn't need write privileges, but the PC you are using to create the menu with does. It creates the playlist.jsp files and places album art files in the album folders...
