This is the key in valid plists. In addition, make sure you follow step 20 to set the permissions on that folder. Marc,

My only issue is that it doesn't start automatically, I need to run slimserver.pl from Terminal and was hoping you may be able to help. I am not a technical expert, but I am assuming that creating the plist file above isnt as simple as using cut and paste into the text editor? Could this be the problem? I clearly havent created a valid plist!Thoughts? Marc Scott,

We now have 2 SqueezeBoxe V2 and 1 SqueezeBox Duet running off it. We mostly stream XM Radio on one and have 2 of my son's favorite songs on the other ones. I'm about to upgrade to SqueezeCenter 7.3.2 as someone is working on an XMRadio plugin that is compatible with it; I've been stuck at SqueezeCenter 7.2 as the XMRadio plugin is key to us.The AppleTV is (knock on wood), rock solid for SqueezeCenter. Note that I don't really use the AppleTV for what it was intended; just for the SqueezeCenter. Yup, I still use my AppleTV as a server running SqueezeCenter.

I'm on the cusp of getting an Apple TV and the ONLY thing holding me back from shutting down me SME Server at home is SlimServer runs on it. I only have the one squeezebox3 which I use for all the local radio stations and also a few albums that I have ripped from CD.Are you still using your AppleTV as a 'server' for Slimserver/Squeezecentre? Would be very interested in hearing how it's still running if indeed it is.RegardsRob Hi Scott,

Are you still using your AppleTV as a 'server' for Slimserver/Squeezecentre? Would be very interested in hearing how it's still running if indeed it is.
