That plugin implements a more basic version of our iTunes support, which is why I didn't include it on the Plugins page :) It is the plugin that is the "lightweight" version

The plugin also has the problem that it does not work to specify a custom path for the iTunes library.
I'm also in contact with the plugin developer and he'll implement it in near future

Thanks!
I downloaded the version, installed it, edited the UMS.conf, placed the line "itunes_library_path = F:\\iTunes" at the bottom and saved.
Then I started UMS, but nothing happens.
The only occurrence of the word "itunes" in the debug log is in the line
DEBUG 2013-12-07 09:38:27.028 [main] Reading show_itunes_library: default: false, current: true

Did I something wrong?

So much time could be saved by just posting debug info :) Remember to go into the server via your renderer before saving the debug info (AKA "reproduce the bug")

So much time could be saved by telling me that even if the parameter is named "itunes_library_path" it does expect the filename of the XML as well instead of just the path. 8-)

A quick test with the tablet shows that it seems to work. :)
I'll test it with the AVR as well if my lady stops blocking it.

That's what the description in the config is for. I'm glad it works
