Okay... Here's what I did. I copied slimserver.pref, slimserversql.db, and slimserver-convert.conf to my desktop. Then deleted most of the files in my slimserver directory except for a few related to Alien BBC. Next I installed a steaming fresh copy of the 8.24.05 6.2b1 exe, and installed it over my old install.
The istall appeared to run correctly... so I clicked on the slimtray icon to start up the web ui. Long pause.... longer pause... 5 minutes later still nothing. Right clicking on the slitray icon shows "starting slimserver" still greyed out. Task manager only shows slimtray...=no= slim.exe. The Event viwere shows the following new error: Event Type: Error Event Source: Application Event Category: None Event ID: 0 Date: 8/24/2005 Time: 9:24:06 PM User: N/A Computer: MEDIA_CENTER Description: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Application ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: CreateService failed: The specified service already exists . So... No connection through Web UI The player is blank. LEFT button brings me back to setup. No freeze.... yet. RIGHT brings "attempting to connect", then a blank screen again. Task manager still shows no instance of Slim.exe. Next I stopped slimtray.exe via the Task Manager, and attempted to start slim.exe from it's location in .../slimserver/server. Command line DOS prompt window appears, but remains blank. No text. Slim.exe now appears in Task Manager and appears to be consuming around 50% of my CPU cycles (which is pretty high for my Intel 2.4Ghz HT chip). Mem usage stabalizes around 33,760k. Eventually, Slimtray vanishes from the taskbar... where it had appeared when Slim.exe was activated. The DOS prompt window remains open. No new errors have been logged in the event viewer at this point. Clicking on Slim.exe again brings up another DOS prompt window briefly, and the CPU usage spikes to over 80% for a few seconds before the new DOS window automatically closes. Again, no new errors logged in event viewer. I close the DOS window and noticed that slim.exe no longer shows in task manager.Next I tried to start Slimserver via slimserver.pl. ActivePerl Command prompt window pops up.... and remains blank. No new error logged in the EventViewer, no instance of Slim.exe in Task Manager... only perl.exe consuming 0 CPU cycles. Player still responds to remote. What next? .y -- Yannzola _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
