Playlists disappearing

[mergwyn]

Hi,

I have set up itunes on Vista such that music is on M: which is a drive mounted from my Linkstation Live. and I have set up links on lunix such that /M: points to the same share. My content is set up as:

Code: Select all

/M:/Music

So in iTunes Music Library.xml I have:

Code: Select all

<string>file://localhost/M:/Music/U2/Achtung%20Baby/03%20One.mp3</string>  

Music gets scanned by Twonky so:

Code: Select all

19:06:54:310 scanned /M:/Music/Zutons/Tired Of Hanging Around 

The library imports without errors:

Code: Select all

19:11:34:138 LOG_SYSTEM:call plugin: [/usr/share/twonkyvision/plugins/itunes-import] ["/M:/Ann/iTunes Music Library.xml" "/usr/share/twonkyvision/twonkymedia.db" "/" -logfile "/usr/share/twonkyvision/twonkymediaserver-log.txt"] 
19:11:34:139 LOG_PLUGIN:system_call_waiting strProg /usr/share/twonkyvision/plugins/itunes-import 
19:11:34:139 LOG_PLUGIN:system_call_waiting strParam "/M:/Ann/iTunes Music Library.xml 
19:11:34:145 LOG_PLUGIN:system_call_waiting waitpid 27700... 
19:11:34:244 LOG_PLUGIN:itunes-import: starting with (//M:/Ann/iTunes Music Library.xml) (/usr/share/twonkyvision/twonkymedia.db) 
19:11:52:028 LOG_PLUGIN:itunes-import: //M:/Ann/iTunes Music Library.xml imported 
19:11:52:030 LOG_PLUGIN:system_call_waiting waitpid 27700 done 

In the /usr/share/twonkyvision/twonkvision.db directory I see a couple of files created (which then dissappear:
itunes..import.items

Code: Select all

3C053M:/Music/Zutons/Tired Of Hanging Around

and music.import.playlists

Code: Select all

#PLAYLIST
#NAME:Music
#FILE://M:/Ann/iTunes Music Library.xml
M:/Music/Zutons/Tired Of Hanging Around

Noticable in both of these is the missing initial / in front of the M:. Is this as simple as creating a symbolic link from wherever the twonky working directory is? (I have tried /usr/share/twonkyvision with no luck)?

It does not seem to matter what I do, or what combination of paths I use, I cannot make playlists work. Any ideas?

Thanks
