Hello Jhd, The slimserver documentation has improved leaps and bounds over the past six months. It can take a little time for open source documentation to catch up with the progress and changes in the software. A number of people volunteer and contribute their free time to making constant improvements - and good questions and feedback such as yours helps ferret out the shortcomings.
There is a lot of documentation out there, and it is no small feat to reorganize it. Its no small feat to even read it all! The slimserver/SB/player combination is also a pretty complex product (architecturally and functionally). It's no easy feat trying to describe all the easy, medium, and advanced capabilities, all the while making documention complete, short, and simple. "Why isnt the version number in Help/About like in every other software package?" I don't think this is an accurate position. I would hazard that most software that uses your web browser as its interface has no Help/About box in the menu bar of the browser (consider your interface to your router/firewall, google maps, for example). Your point is taken, however - the intial out of the box, setup experience could be easier. I personally am confident it will get better and better. Its clear to me that the folks working on the software are extremely bright, talented, and motivated to succeed. Hang in there! -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18057 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
