After much tinkering last night I have come to agree that it's not a HookAndDie issue. I should clarify--it's not restarting SlimServer that improves the issue, it's restarting the RealSlim service. Here's what I've discovered: We'll call my computer that I've been using to run SlimServer for the past 12 months computer A. It's an athlon 2800+ running windows XP sp1. I've successfully configured realslim and slimserver 5.4 on this machine and all has been wonderful for the past year (pretty much). Computer A's installation of realslim 0.6 is completely "stock" (doesn't use any of gsamsa's altered files). My "new" computer is computer B. It is the one having all the issues and has the specs I've outlined in previous emails. I know that hookanddie works because I can run rhapsody on computer B (with the realslim extensions) and my slimserver installation on computer A can talk to it and use it just fine. However, when I attempt to install slimserver on computer B (having shut down slimserver on computer A to ensure no issues) things go awry. I've tried slimserver 5.4 as well as 6.1.1 and both the stock as well as the altered versions of plugin.pm (yes, the newest version in the thread you mentioned) and common.pm. I've tried starting and restarting things in every order I can imagine. I've installed and reinstalled in every order I can imagine. My most common result is that slimserver will start and hang after partially starting (I can start to pull up the web page but then as the graphics are delivered it just hangs and never recovers). Sometimes the server won't start at all. The closest I've gotten was what I described in my post 2 days ago when I could browse and search the rhapsody catalog, though it would not let me see "my library" nor would it play anything from rhapsody (the server crashed immediately). I understand if you're not able to troubleshoot this any further. I realize that it's likely a rather complex issue. I just wanted to get the details of what I've been dealing with out there so that there's as much information as possible available whenever someone decides they want to really fix up the realslim plugin. I appreciate any help anyone can offer. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
