Bugzilla – Bug 1088
Selecting iTunes menu from SB crashes server
Last modified: 2011-03-16 04:18:41 UTC
Running SlimServer 6.0b on OS X 10.3.8 with Squeezebox, 1st generation. From my Squeezebox, if I select the iTunes menu item to browse music, the SlimServer crashes/dies. Other attempts at browsing music, such as browse by: genre, artist, album are all fine.
I'm not following this. where is itunes mentioned in the player ui? can you provide specific crash message from the log?
Hi - on my player, the following root menus exit: -> Now Playing -> Browse Music -> Browse Playlists -> iTunes -> Internet Radio -> Slim Devices Picks -> ... (a few others) ... When I select the iTunes menu, I get a message on my player that it lost communication with the server. When I check the server, from the SlimServer preference pane in OS X, the server shows that it's not running. When I restart the server, then the player goes back to normal, but I'm never able to access this iTunes menu (the same crash occurs if I do). I've included some info from /Library/Logs/slimserver.log : sparrow:~/Library/Logs keith$ tail -f slimserver.log 2005-03-15 07:09:19.3506 Old SLIMP3 Protocol init... 2005-03-15 07:09:19.6582 Slimproto Init... 2005-03-15 07:09:19.6628 SlimServer HTTP init... 2005-03-15 07:09:19.7375 SlimServer CLI init... 2005-03-15 07:09:19.7555 Source conversion init.. 2005-03-15 07:09:19.7709 SlimServer Info init... 2005-03-15 07:09:19.8725 SlimServer MusicFolderScan init... 2005-03-15 07:09:19.8735 SlimServer Plugins init... 2005-03-15 07:09:20.1735 SlimServer persist playlists... 2005-03-15 07:09:20.1737 SlimServer done start...

There should not be an iTunes menu item there, and it is never intended to be used as a mneu item (as there is no player UI). iTunes imports to 'browse albums', etc. For some reason its start home menu options, and should be removed from doing so
OK, it just showed up when I installed v6.0b.. wasn't there in 5.x I'll just not use it. Thx
It was my mistake. The itunes plugin in what we call an importer plugin. It brings data into every other browse mode, but has no player UI. Other plugins like this will no longer be listed as of revision 2521, so that this confusion wont happen again.
There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006. I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
