Hi! I have the same netdrive and decided with 6.x to try and move the server to my mac mini (see other thread in this forum) - one reason was that the stability on the netdrive has really dropped with 6.x
5.4.1 works just fine, but 6.x exhibits the problems you mention - the server dies really often and I can never reliably connect to radio stations (often result of attempting is a server crash) - btw, I fixed the slimp3 name thing by updating the startup script to look for slimserver.pl instead, so _that_ works. I assume also each time you patch in the Prefs.pm change to look in /tmp or wherever for the preferences path ? Sure would be nice to connect with others in the martian (debian linux I think?) world, and also have some sort of mechanism for having the server automatically track for file updates which I never found out a way to do (is there a way?). Then I'd have my itunes library point to my martian drive, and then have the slimserver there periodically check it's file tables for updates. One other downside I've noticed with the martian (other than having to file transfer all my stuff via ethernet rather than access as firewire/usb which would be way more convenient) is that the SMB implementation on the Mac still sucks enormously in terms of reliabilty....Oh yes, and the fact the company shut up shop so there is no way to get support :-) -- gocam _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
