Any luck with the Logitech Squeezebox Server plug-in?

[ViperGeek]

One of the big pluses of the Javelin S4 server was it's ability to act as a Logitech Squeezebox Server. Unfortunately, I haven't had scathing success with it yet.

I found the .PPG file on the support website:

http://www.patriotmemory.com/support/driversp.jsp

I unzipped it and loaded it up just fine. I have lots and lots of music available in /VOLUME1/MUSIC just waiting to be indexed and served to my Squeezebox. On the initial scan of my music library, the server trips and falls, generating the following server.log:

I tried checking the health of the MySQL server, but don't have any idea what the admin login/password is (I tried the box's admin username/password, but that didn't work).

Any ideas or suggestions? Has anyone gotten the Squeezebox plug-in to work?

How big is your music library?

Mines only a few hundred albums, i'll have to check to see if i experience the issue as well...

I have a Windows-based Squeezebox server and it reports:

Total Tracks: 5,037
Total Albums: 609
Total Artists: 327
Total Genres: 97
Total Playing Time: 330:45:39

Ironically, this server is using \\JAVELIN\MUSIC as it's media source, but the goal is to shut the 550W tower PC down and use the Javelin S4 server for everything.

Thanks for the quick reply!
