I managed to get the recent 6.5b1 build working with MySQL by doing the following:
I installed MySQL and configured it with default settings. I edited my slimserver.prefs file to configure MySQL username, password and DB. I created a scanner.bat that invoked "perl scanner.pl", as slimserver could not spawn and execute scanner.pl. I changed the line in a source module (can't remember what file) that defined the command to execute from "scanner.pl" to "scanner.bat". This seemed to work, in that I could then perform a scan. I get a lot extra trace, but the scan completes and I have managed to play back tracks on my SB. I have noticed some minor issues (such as playlists not being picked up by the scan and searches not working), but will wait for the scanning to be officially fixed before worrying about reporting these issues. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
