I’m running the nightlies.

I used iTunes on a mac to move my library to a network folder //server/users/music/

I then used “consolidate” in iTunes.

Everything works from that mac now without a problem. All songs now point to the server. I copied the itunes xml file over to the server.

The problem is on my other computers (macs). They can see and play the music and list the playlists that were created in itunes but non of the songs show up in the playlists.

When I opened the playlist xml file I saw that the path to the music are all set to “file://localhost/Volumes/CRH3%3BSERVER/common/music/”

Obviously, that isn’t going to work for firefly…

Is the only way to get this to work is to do a global find/replace on the path each time the playlist is updated in iTunes?

It should work. It tries very hard to turn that into a path that works.

Make sure you have “process playlists” and “process iTunes” turn on in the web config and rescan. I bet they pop up.
