First my apologies for sounding like a whiner or a troll. I am new to this product and do not know the proper avenues to post problems or download interim fixes. So essentially what I have been doing is asserting a problem without providing enough information. With the 1 week or so playing with it, I have been very satisfied with the SB2. With 6.1 was working like a charm and compared very well with my sub $2000 SACD/DVDA player. I am planning to buy a Benchmark DAC1 to make this baby really sings. I also understand that no other product has as much constant improvements with "nightly" beta releases. So the 6.2 release was just a transitional "production" release that somehow has bugs that affected a few unlucky souls. However, I still feel that 6.2 should have stayed in the "nightly beta" area. Hopefully 6.2.1 will fix my problem. Just a thought that Slim is so fast in releasing that all this mumbling of mine is probably history after I tried out 6.2.1. -------------- Description of my (could be past) problems: Problem Symptom: ---------------- Server keeps stopping intermittently, usually within 1 minute after starting. This happens with oor without the SB2 playing any songs. It sometimes fails to restart (or maybe it starts for a split second and then stops again?) For the time that it restarted, it stopped again in seconds. Error is similar to this: "The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Application ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Can't locate object method "url" via package "Class::DBI::Object::Has::Been::Deleted" at /PerlApp/Slim/Music/Info.pm line 955." I tried 6.5 beta with same result. But decided to reinstall OS from scratch, 6.2 still did not work, but 6.5 has been working fine for 1 day. The problem started with the following configuration: IBM Thinkpad X20 with 768MB RAM Internal 20GB HDD for OS, Docking Station 80GB HDD for Music Windows XP SP2 Office XP SlimServer 6.2 * Both 6.2 and 6.5 had same symptoms listed above Reinstalled with the following configutation: Same hardware Windows XP SP1 No other software except SlimServer * 6.2 = same symptoms listed above 6.5 = Been working fine for a day now ------------------ I will try 6.2.1 tonight and report back. ------------------ -- agentsmith _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
