Over the weekend I went through the very painful process of upgrading from 7.3.3 to 7.4. I know if it aint broke dont fix it - but
First time install works OK - I add the plugins that I had under 7.3.3 restart server. Music scan takes a while. I wait. No problems all OK. Reboot machine and none of my SBoxen can connect. OK - thought this might be down to not fully uninstalling 7.3.3. So I unintsall everything and then delete the folders. Redo everything again - same result (why wasnt I surprised ?). I investigate further and see that the server partially starts but cannot communicate with ports 9000 and 9090. Looking in here it seems that problem is caused by trackstat plugin. I cannot get into the web consule to disable it - so another uninstall and reinstall is required (complete with an hours wait for another music rescan). This time I dont install track stat and it seems more stable - at least my SB2 can play music, the SBC seems OK - but the SBR in the kitchen is not a happy bunny - keeps getting the blue 'cant connect to server' light, which comes and goes (it didnt have a problem with 7.3.3). Itunes update plugin also doesnt seem to work - at least I cant find the update_hist file (not updated since the change from 7.3.3 to 7.4) So at least trackstat and itunes update plugins dont work. I know they are 3rd plugins - but I had no idea that they would stop working. I wasted a considerable amount of my weekend on this - and its only cos we love our SBoxen that I am willing to continue. I am tempted to go back to 7.3.3 - but I like the new interface on the controller and would really like this all to work. So my basic question is what works OK under 7.4 and what causes problems ? Slim server runs on an Atom powered server running XP home. I also have AVG running and the windows firewall (though disabling the later seemed to make no difference) SB2 in lounge SBR in kitchen SBR in dining room Boom - wherever ! -- bradcook ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bradcook's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1033 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69172
