Bugzilla – Bug 9768
Squeezecenter not picking up MusicIP Moods in recent Windows MIP install
Last modified: 2008-10-21 04:00:44 UTC
This issue appears to be specific to Windows, but applies to recent installations of both headless and application versions of MIP. Running MIP v1.8+ on a Windows Build, the preferences and cache folder have moved to a new location (c:/Documents and Settings/[USERNAME]/Application Data/MusicIP) in a similar way to where the Squeezecenter prefs are now installed. Assume this is to accomodate Vista. See http://www.musicip.com/mixer/cacheOverview.jsp As a result, the Moods folder in MIP is now created in the same folder as the cache, not the MusicIP installation folder. However, Squeezcenter is still looking in the installation folder (C:/Program Files/MusicIP or similar) for the Moods directory. Moods are not picked up in Squeezecenter unless you copy the Moods directory back to the installation folder. Is it possible for Squeezecenter to look in the new preference location (Windows build) for Moods as well as in the existing installation folder? Presumably this can be achieved even if MusicIP installs under a particular username rather than All Users (like Squeezecenter does).

We're not reading directories, but asking MusicIP for a list of Moods using its API. What does the following URL do for you (to be opened on the machine where you rung SC): http://localhost:10002/api/moods? That's the command which should return the list of moods. If this doesn't work, then you should file a bug report with MusicIP.
Noted, thanks Michael. The API command below does not return the list of moods, so I'll raise it with Whicken at Predixis. Will you close the bug? Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. Let us know what Predixis has to say about it.
