can't configure itunes due to no library xml

[Chiller 1]

Hi,

 

Alfred's iTunes integration isn't doing anything for me:

 

 

OK, so let's look...

 

 

You can see in this screencast that the "Find" button doesn't do anything.

 

I'll need to find that file myself.  The problem is it doesn't exist:

$ find ~ -name 'iTunes Library*'
/Users/boneskull/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library Extras.itdb
/Users/boneskull/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library Genius.itdb
/Users/boneskull/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl

Of note, all of my music is in iTunes Match.

 

Is there some way to create this file?

 

- Mac OS 10.11.5 (15F34)

- Alfred 3.0.2 (676)

- iTunes 12.4.1.6

First, have you enabled the third-party sharing in iTunes?

 

See the third checkbox in this screenshot:

Then you'll need to ensure that there is music in the XML created; Provided the music is stored locally, it should be included

 

Cheers,
