Moose 0.74 on Windows 7 - No now playing cover art

[liam.whiteside]

Is anyone running Moose on Windows 7?

It works fine on an XP machine connecting to the same Ubuntu server, but on my Windows 7 machine, I don't get any cover art in the main now playing screen. The Cover Chooser works fine.

The Moose debug log file shows this:
GetImage Get: http://10.161.6.222:9000/music/15506/cover.jpg?player=01:01:01:01:01:01

Hi there,

Moose should be fine on win7, it's what i mainly use it on here.

That error could be caused by 1 of 3 things:
* port 9000 is being blocked by a firewall on your moose machine (this
is the most likely, just add a custom rule to allow it through)
* the server's web server port has been changed from 9000 to something
else (check the server settings->advanced->network->web server port
number. The 'Guess' button in moose's settings might help here too.)
* the server's broken (which server build are you using ?)

Hope that helps,

Moose on Win 7 works without any problem even when using a nightly beta sbs 7.6 with sqlite db. In this case you should share the hidden path containing the squeezebox db and connect to the share within moose. Additionally you will need another dll as described on the moose homepage.
In my opinion moose is the best way to control the system.

It doesn't seem to be either of those as I can access the Squeezebox server web pages from the same machine - on port 9000.

I'm using MySql DB. Moose is able to find all the music and display the library ok. However scanning covers doesn't show any graphics as it does on the XP machine.

But if that's the case, how can an XP machine on the same network connecting to the same server works ok?

The only config change I made on the server was to change the MySQL binding from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0

Doing a rescan seems to work (as far as finding all the music) whether the MySql username in moose is set to slimserver or root, both with the password left blank.

I've solved the problem! It was IE8 auto-detecting a proxy (ISA server) and getting itself tied in knots.

I turned on debug logging while Moose was scanning the covers and got this extra line that didn't appear when it was just trying to display the cover art

EXCEPTION: GetAlbumImage - (16263) The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.

I've disabled the "Automatically detect settings" option in the LAN configuration from within IE and everything is now working.
