I've just upgraded from the official 7.1 release to the official 7.2, running under Windows XP. And it's all gone frightfully wrong.
The installation did go a bit weird at first: it ground my PC to a complete standstill where it wouldn't respond to mouse clicks or the keyboard; but after a bit all seemed to go OK, and SC seemed to start up OK afterward. But then... In the web interface (fishbone), none of the subsection links I tried works - Firefox (3.0.1) goes into a loading loop for a while, then stops. When I saw that, I did a full rescan, which took ages, but made no difference. Then I tried the other interfaces... Using the IR remote on my SB3, Artists just goes to Artists. If I do this N times, I have to go back N times to get to Music Library. (Well, where N=2 or 3, I'm not that patient.) The Controller, however, works! I can browse away quite happily. But when I used it to send a playlist to the SB3, it seemed to get stuck in a strange "intro" mode, where it would play 2 seconds of a track, then skip to the next. (Even the artwork display on the controller kept up, it was almost hypnotic to watch.) I couldn't pause it, I couldn't turn it off (with either remote), it would just unpause or turn on again a couple of seconds later, and keep going. I thought I was in a Steven King novel :-) Fortunately, turning the power off at the socket worked. The X albums by Y artists with Z songs figures look perfectly reasonable, so the music's in there... somewhere... Of course, this *is* Windows, and I haven't tried rebooting. If that doesn't work, I'll revert to 7.1 and hope that that still works. I've not seen any other reports of problems like this. Why's it picking on me? -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
