I tried running mt-daapd -d9, cleared the log, restarted XMBC and then browsed the mt-daapd server. As expected the playlists were empty, however the mt-daapd log was also empty. Not sure if this helps or not.
Kinda keen to get some guidance on this. I know you’re really busy and doing this for free, but I bought an XBox just for this… 😀Andy
I guess first is find out if it’s working at all. Forget about xbmc, make sure it works with iTunes as a client. Connect with iTunes. Look at the playlists, and make sure everything works there.
I couldn’t tell from what you said above if that’s working or not. If it doesn’t work against iTunes, it won’t work against xbmc.
That’s the first place to start.

I only see the single playlist that I created in iTunes. I don’t see any of the mt-daapd smart playlists that I created in the mt-daapd web interface.
Is this correct?
Thanks for the help!

Whatever you see in iTunes is what you should expect to see in xbmc. If you dont’ see it in iTunes, you won’t see it in xbmc. So add a smart playlist using the syntax on the playlist page, and verify it works on iTunes. If it does, then check it out on xbmc.

30/05/2006 at 8:24 PM #4581AnonymousInactiveOK, so back to the original problem.
I just tried browing mt-daapd in XBMC (mid may T3CH release), and both “Library” and “Music from the 90’s” are empty. They appear, but they have notihng in them.
It works in iTunes, so hopefully it is something simple to getting working with XBMC?

30/05/2006 at 10:43 PM #4583AnonymousInactiveIn this post you mention that the place to add smart playlists in mt-daapd is in the web interface:
http://forums.mt-daapd.org/viewtopic.php?t=4602I’ve already done that a long time ago. See the screenshot. The playlists work fine in my Soundbridge, but they don’t appear in iTunes.
Are they supposed to appear in iTunes? What could cause them to not appear? Could it be a paths problem?
I am running iTunes 6.0.4, mt-daapd svn 909. I have the following folder setup:
mp3_dir = /unmirrored/My Music/iTunes
Inside mp3_dir is my iTunes XML file. The MP3s are stored in:
/unmirrored/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music

31/05/2006 at 5:00 AM #4584rpeddeParticipantCan you zip up your database and email it to ron at pedde.com?
They really should show up in iTunes. If they don’t, there is something seriously wrong. Probably explains why it won’t work on xbmc, either.

13/06/2006 at 5:58 PM #4585morglumGuestLooks like I found the thread I was looking for.
Ron: did you find out was was wrong with his database ? Because I have the exact same problem;
I created a smartlist using the web interface. I can see there are songs in it through the web interface.
ITUNES doesnt see the smart playlist at all, but sees all the files in the library.
XBMC sees both the library and the smart playlist, but there is nothing in them (even the library is empty).
Setup:
XBMC, june 11th, 2006 release
Nightlies 1206 release running on NSLU2
13/06/2006 at 6:41 PM #4586AnonymousInactiveI’ve sent Ron a couple of databases. Still waiting to hear back.

Did you not get my mail? I’m moving domains, so it might have gotten lost. Lemme see.
Oh yeah. The version you are running doesn’t like windows playlists. You need to get up to a current nightly. This is your db, right?
2|e:mp3playlistssurf-a-billy|2|0||1147149639|e:mp3playlistssurf-a-billy.m3u|0
3|e:mp3playlistssouthern rock|2|0||1147149640|e:mp3playlistssouthern rock.m3u|0
etc, etc.
The e:… is a sign of an old version of mt-daapd.
— Ron
p.s. I didn’t see *any* smart playlists in your db. Are you sure you sent me the one you wanted me to see?
