playlists directory - 2008/09/06 10:24 I'm using swisscenter on Windows XP. When i give the playlist location, SwissCenter is converting it the the Unix style. So foir example when i type in:
c:\my playlists and push when i push on the Save button SwissCenter makes it: c:/playlist. The consequence is that Windows can't find the path...

Is there a way to manualy set the path correctly (with "\" in stead of "/" )

Thank you

Re: playlists directory - 2008/09/06 11:57 Windows will accept both types of slashes. Why do you say it doesn't work?

If you're getting a warning on the install checks page then this is a PHP issue (you're probably using PHP 4).

If you put playlists in your specified folder you should find that it works fine. Player : Netgear EVA700 & Popcorn A-100 (081106)
Server : Vista SP1 Home Premium (Simese 2.07, SwissCenter current SVN)
Spec : Intel C2Q Q6600, 2GB RAM, 1Tb storage.

Re: playlists directory - 2008/09/10 05:28 There seems to be another bug with the playlists directory when the database is reinitialized.

After reinit, the install-check states the following error:
"Unable to write to the SwissCenter playlists directory (playlists)"

Taking a look at the system_prefs table, I found that the installer had indeed set the value for the PLAYLISTS setting to a plain 'playlists' instead of the full physical path to the directory.

This problem may be fixed temporarily by issuing the appropriate SQL like
UPDATE system_prefs SET value='/var/www/swisscenter/playlists' where name = 'PLAYLISTS';

with value set to the correct path.

I believe that the following patch to config/config_install.php would fix that problem permanently:

>
> // Default playlists directory location
> set_sys_pref('PLAYLISTS',SC_LOCATION.'playlists');

Kind regards
