Dan, The RedHat 7.1/7.2 not being supported line seems a little strange. I presume that you've no issue with RH 7.1/7.2 if perl has been updated to a 5.8 level.

Download here: http://www.slimdevices.com/download Remember - please file any bug reports on http://bugs.slimdevices.com/ Thanks. ==================================== SlimServer 6.0 Beta 2 Release Notes: Performance & Memory usage: * Fixed a memory leak in non-streaming HTTP response. * Fixed a memory leak in iTunes scanning/rescanning. * Fixed a memory leak in Music Folder scanning/rescanning. * Ogg::Vorbis::Header::PurePerl (Ogg Scanning) - 18x speedup. * Dynamically include Format modules - most users will only need a few. * Only poll for UDP packets if there is a SLIMP3 connected. * Timer improvements from Adrian. * The Now Playing playlist (Web UI) is now generated only when changed. Should fix / alleviate the 100% CPU issue. * Fixed load time for "All Albums" / "All Tracks" & All within a Genre. * Only load the MoodLogic plugin on Windows. * Don't generate the 'genre_count' unless we're on the Hitlist - it's expensive. Internationalization: * Updated German translations from Michael Herger * Updated Spanish translations from Nestor Syncing: * Syncing between a SB1 and SB2 now works. Softsqueeze: * Updated to Softsqueeze 2.0a13 * Many bugs fixed - need to get a list from Richard. Platform Support: * We do not support Redhat 7.1 or 7.2 - these OSes have broken Perl builds. * We do not support the EIS Linux package - it also has a broken Perl build. * Fixed support for Perl 5.6.x users and ISO-8859-1 languages. Importers: * iTunes: Don't load 'Library' as a playlist. * MusicMagic: Remote access settings are confusing and only work for very specific cases. Support has been removed. Skins: * Updates for Fishbone, Handheld and Touch. * ExBrowse2 - now uses XSLT to parse search results - Jacob Potter. Known Issues: * Artists or Albums with '*' in the string cause the Player UI to behave strangely. * MusicMagic connection settings need to be exposed when plugin is enabled, even though connection cannot be established. * Not all skins have been updated to use browsedb. (xmlTelCanto may be broken.) * Streaming to a SB1 using OSX Tiger has dropouts. Panther works fine. * Browsing Music Folder is very slow - with lots of top level directories Bugs fixed: # 121 - Shuffle by album always plays the same album first # 441 - Named pipe with a known audio extension hangs server # 459 - Some languages display bogus dates & times. # 678 - Tune in page: trying to tune in to any station causes script errors. # 721 - Shoutcast plugin writing directly into / # 761 - WMA lossless (and reportedly other WMA formats) play in mono! # 796 - Web Interface Bugs - songcount # 866 - Date of file on songinfo is today's date, not file's date. # 869 - Muted playback. # 881 - Alphabetic inconsistencies. # 907 - Pressing buttons while player is in standby makes things blip on to the screen. # 916 - Search results shouldn't show * in query # 917 - When in Browse menu, pressing PLAY or ADD should play or add the item selected. # 942 - Live Search song result missing artist and album links. # 963 - Max volume should be unity gain. # 973 - Clicking play in web interface on an artist that only has one album puts tracks in wrong order. # 979 - disabledPlugin keeps adding pref. # 986 - locale en_US.UTF-8 will crash SS when using perl 5.6 # 987 - Live Search/Manual Search confusion. # 988 - Backspace in Live Search doesn't refresh. # 989 - Live Search ignore search within words pref. # 992 - Web and player UI not updating - 03/09 nightly # 993 - Special character not sorted properly in web ui artist browse. # 994 - Need to add FLAC transcoding rules to convert.conf for SB2. # 995 - SS v6.0b1 scanning library glacially slow. # 997 - $ds->objectForUrl(Slim::Player::Playlist::song($client))->title() returns stream name instead of songtitle #1007 - Playlist view: empty "by". #1008 - Artists are not de-duplicated for different capitalisations. #1009 - Menus not functioning correctly. #1010 - SB2 connects to SqueezeNetwork even though a SlimServer was selected. #1012 - Need to add ppc-linux Perl 5.8 binaries (for LinkStation users). #1013 - Now playling track does not update when scrolling. #1016 - Squeezebox should detect if a server's IP address has changed. #1027 - Mute does not work. #1029 - Server should send STREAMINFO header with FLAC stream. #1030 - FLAC decoding parameters could be improved to avoid bug. #1032 - SB2 will not play music after switching servers without rebooting. #1033 - Trying to save a read-only playlist causes server to crash. #1034 - radioio: urls that are saved into playlists show up with albums and artists in web. #1037 - Server crash on parsing cue file. #1038 - Every time a new softsqueeze is opened on the PC it is IDed as a new player. #1055 - sendFrame function missing in SLIMP3.pm player module. #1057 - Softsqueeze2 should play nicer with SlimServer 5.4 and 6.0. #1059 - Web interface hogging CPU. #1063 - Can't view all results from multi-page advanced search. #1069 - fade_volume broken. #1082 - Handheld skin / Search Music crashes server. #1083 - Playing items from autocomplete search results broken with multiple players. #1087 - Non-livesearch searches, album results don't work. #1088 - Selecting iTunes menu from SB crashes server. #1089 - ID3 tag display error on Squeezebox. #1118 - Browse playlist not showing with iTunes & no playlist directory. -D -- <noah> the auto mechanic told me there was something wrong with my rear differential.
