MusicIP on x86 Synology

[Arvoreen]

that you don't see the user in the GUI is fine.
you don't need it in the GUI.
Mine also doen't show up there :-) So it doesn't confuse me

[Morbeas]

Yes, I can get to the headless server now! Thank you SO VERY MUCH MY FRIEND! I really really appreciate all your help. ))

[Arvoreen]

So have fun,

hope everything is working now for you as expected

[Morbeas]

Yes it is, and it's all thanks to you!

Hey guys - on a related note, I already have MusicMagic headless server running on a windows VM, and was wondering if I can get the MusicIP plugin in SqueezeCenter to point to that? The plugin options only allow me to change port, so I'm guessing it's hard-coded to use localhost, or is there a way to change that? I'd rather not install MM server on my Synology (DS1812+) right now, though I might do so in the future...

Thanks!

HIGHLY recommended that you install it on a linux-based box instead of Windows. It simply works much much better.

And AFAIK,you can't point it to anything other than localhost.

I would also let it run on the box itself simply because else the path to your files won't be correct. At least not without using some tricks.

The address is hardcode in the plugin.
you would need to change all this occurences in these files to make it work and then still the path would not be correct.

I'll give that a shot, thanks. I don't think I'll have a problem with paths as both MusicIP and SC point to a network (UNC) path. Worst-case scenario I might consider expediting getting MM server installed on DSM...

Quick question, Arvoreen. Is it possible to use this index.html file for the Syno headless server?

If you do changes to these files remember that an update of the plugin will overwrite it again.
