OK, I've got svn 8307 working on my XP box now. I did several things: 1). Put a dlink router that supports UPnP on my network. 2). Opened the UPnP framework in the windows firewall. 3). Enabled the UPnP device host service. Now, slimserver.pl runs without crashing. I'm not sure which of the above solved the problem. Q: is UPnP support really necessary for slimserver to function? It never has been in past versions. I usually have UPnP disabled for security reasons.
Well we are just a UPnP client, so there's no security risk, and it shouldn't crash with bad devices, but I guess we aren't at the not- crashing stage yet.
It would be fairly easy to add a --no-upnp option to disable the entire UPnP subsystem. I'll see about doing that.
