I own a Squeezebox Classic and run a local server w/ SBS 7.5. I use a handful of plugins. I've loaded Squeezebox Server 7.6 several times for testing. I'm happy about the performance gains. The base system does not seem to have bugs.
A couple of my plugins don't work properly with SBS 7.6: CustomScan & Music Information Screen. I occasionally test a nightly build of SBS 7.6 in (vain) hopes that these plugins will work. (I question whether this is a good strategy; I don't know if authors are waiting until 7.6 is released before commencing to make their wares compatible.) One thing that is annoying (and perhaps inevitable) is when the 7.6 server *requests to upgrade* my Classic's firmware. Switching back to 7.5 causes _another_ request to 'downgrade' firmware. I've cycled this at least a couple of times (four firmware flashes) at this point. Does changing firmware cause wear on the SB? I assume FW is _required_ to match the version suggested by the server. Is this true? Can the firmware upgrade (or downgrade) be skipped? Is this a problem or am I sweating unnecessarily? Irrespective of the FW upgrade, I'm about ready to give up testing 7.6 until it's actually released. -- Danny8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Danny8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=27606 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83269 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
