I was away last week and missed all the 6.5 release hubbub. So I just installed 6.5 today. I was a little nervous since this is a big architectural change for SlimServer. I uninstalled 6.3.0 and deleted any remaining files in the SlimServer directory, backed up and installed.
Well...after installing and reconfiguring my players, it's running perfectly for me. I know this is going to sound like fanboyism, but I can't say anything different - it's perfect on my system: - the initial rescan took 2-3 minutes, the same as 6.3.0. - firmware update to 64 went fine - was there a change made to the Network Test plugin or a speed improvement? Both my SB2 and SB3 players are reporting 5000 kbps at 100% now. Previously the SB2 (closer to the AP) reported fine up to 4000 kbps, the SB3 (further away) reported fine up to 3000 kbps. - the new "High" font solves the problem I had using the SB2 as an alarm clock, where I had to modify the date time screensaver plugin to eliminate displaying the date. - alternating grey highlighting on playlist items to separate them, as well as the increased spacing - server and player settings submenus in dropdown lists cleans up the UI considerably - alarm fade-in - having network test available as its own menu item (I believe this is new) - Server & Network Health in Help can now kick off the network test remotely, plus you can choose a bitrate right away and monitor it. - gallery view I know there are people experiencing problems but I've got to say it works great for me - thanks to the developers! I guess I only have two very minor quibbles: - the new web page font in default looks modern but a little small and squished - I don't know why Date and Time screensaver has a format setting other than default, I'll start a separate thread on this -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28115 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
