Morning all,

Not sure why amp does not work, I am running 5.1.2 at present.
I've not been 100% convinced that 5.5 was a better version than 5.1.2 as it seemed to be rushed to release and some of the web stuff was not 100% right from the CD, (No slur intended to Mitel). I can reload the amp software to the website if you like, Or you could try mpg123 and adjust the php script to suit.

The original mymusicd script should be in the standard mymusic 1.0.6. from the site with the right options to use for mpg123, they are pretty obvious (program name and opt variables at the top of the script). Suggest you change only the lines in my version to suit, As there were other errors in the original script that we fixed. Amp does use different options.


Would suggest you get the sound card working and the scripts working and loading in songs and come back to the amp problem.

I made an i-bay named mp3 and pointed my music library to there.

A suggestion, The update script seems to get upset if the player is playing whilst it is trying to update, I am using the following method to update the library.

Stop Player with the stop button.
Kill mymusicd by using "mymusicd -k"
Run the update script , Look at tracks go into database.
Start daemon with "mymusicd --daemon" to put it into background
Press play button on the web interface.

I know the web page is of very limited display quality. However it looks like it would work fine as a touch screen application if you had access to one of those (As I have)
