iTunes playlists are not found

[Niklaus]

I run Firefly on a Mac with Leopard and iTunes 7.5
The Firefly server finds the iTunes Library.xml file but does not find any playlists defined therein.

My Music library resides under
/Users/Shared/Wir/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music and the library file is
/Users/Shared/Wir/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.xml
Everybody has read access on that file.

I can tell from the log file (level 9) that the server sees the xml file and scans it but no playlists appear.

from Log file: Processing playlists
2008-01-06 22:30:15 (a0226074): Starting playlist scan
2008-01-06 22:30:15 (a0226074): About to scan /Users/Shared/Wir/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.xml
2008-01-06 22:30:15 (a0226074): Finished playlist loop
2008-01-06 22:30:15 (a0226074): Executing: end transaction

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go into your web config (via the preference pane) into configuration and click the “advanced” link. Find the options for “enable_playlists” and “enable_itunes” and “enable_m3u” and make sure they are set to “yes”

I can’t find these options in advanced configuration. I find only the following:
Process .m3u Files: yes
Process xmlFiles: yes
Am I using the wrong version (SVN 1491)?

I think iTunes changed the name of its xml file at some point, and perhaps this was before that change.

It might be worth getting 1586 from the nightlies site: http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org/?limit=9999 (scroll down to the binaries for 1586).

Wonderful! That does the job. Thanks for the help Ron.
