If the plugin tried to retrieve the channels again, it must have realized that the previous attempt was not entirely successful. Basically, when you start up the plugin it has to make a large number of web requests to figure out all of the channels available. With more recent versions of SlimServer for some reason some of these web requests are failing. Depending on which ones fail, you may be missing a single channel, or even an entire genre. For now, if you simply restart your SlimServer and it'll try to get the channels again when you enter the plugin. Hopefully it'll be successful, and once it is you'll be good to go until you restart your SlimServer again because the channel info gets cached. Sorry for the problems. When I have some time I'll look into ways to alleviate this. -Greg -- GoCubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
