Kevin Pearsall suggested I post this from an email thread: It is an absolutely 100% correlation that its these tracks with filenames containing certain special characters that are causing the problem. I can post a log if that would be helpful - tell me where to do that.
By the way, another potentially useful piece of information: several of these tracks are things that I recall hearing played by an earlier version of the SlimServer software. So it does seem to be a problem with the beta, and that the original freezing up problem that I first started tracking several weeks ago with 6.0.2 was a different problem, that appears to have been fixed in the beta. That was also different in that it would hang the machine, whereas these tracks that hang with special characters as the reason come unstuck when I click on Skip. Note that when the special character causing the problem is in the album name, then *none* of the cuts in that album show up in the SlimServer library (that is, they are all blank entries). All the tracks in 107 degrees in the shade, for example. My theory about the cause is that theres some string-handling function in the code that has a restricted view of what characters are legal to appear in a filename, which is more restrictive than is actually supported by the Windows and Mac filesystems. An earlier version of the code worked fine, so theres no reason it cant be made to work again -- MikeGilpin _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
