Hello,
I wanted to report a big bug in SlimServer software. I added a few
playlists and rescanned them. First of all SlimServer crashed (left
part went "white" in browser; error "Unable to connect"). I retried
several times. No luck.
Then I reinstalled SlimServer 6.5.0. SlimServer was running again but
the playlists were still the old ones mixed with some undefined things
I never put there ("Untitled - unknown.wav") and which are not on my
computer.
I installed 6.5.1 over it and deleted the whole library. After two
hours of rescanning (you don't really know when it is finished as there
is no display of progress and reading 22.600 titles takes a while) it
seemed to be finished. I tried to restart SlimServer (it went off while
rescanning) but it didn't work. It was simply unable to open it in the
browser anymore. I have Kaspersky AntiVirus running. Is it possible
there is a conflict (does anybody know?)
Now, as everything was completely damaged I uninstalled and deleted
everything (The uninstall routine unfortunately wasn't able to delete
all files).
Now, I reinstalled 6.5.1 from scratch. It is very, very disappointing
and I am quite upset also. Imagine: I had a brilliantly running and
fine installation of SlimServer. No problems ever. Then, I added 4
playlist files and this leads to a total crash of the software.
Please, developers: Program a routine which checks if the
playlist-files are corrupt and please output an error message instead
of just crashing the whole program. My 4 new playlists where totally
identical to the previous ones so I have absoluetely no clue what
disturbed SlimServer. I had also tried the debug mode (d_scan) but
couldn't find any error-log file or output.
Now I have to set up everything again (including plugins) and hope it
won't crash again.
So, please, please: No new features, work on reliability! The whole
scanning process had always been hell. And please work on a decent
output so the user knows what the program is doing.
Thanks
Max
