I have had SB3 since July - and started having this persistant "connecting to slimserver..." or "waking up slimserver..." issue. The device itself just seems to occasionally shut-down and go black - no screen saver no power-save - just black.
I had originally thought this related to the 6.5.1 upgrade which I did in the Oct timeframe at the prompt. It had worked fine until then. I had so many problems with the upgraded server that I ended up rolling back to 6.3 (fully documented in a couple other posts) http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28416 -and- http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29817 I had basically re-set everything on the server side back to original and still had the problem....so I re-upgraded fresh to the nightly build and for a few days all was well.....then it happened again. I have a strong feeling that this issue lies within the firmware update that happened in conjunction with the server-side upgrade since that appears to be the only thing that changed....I'm not sure whats involved in rolling this back or what the implications are so I have not tried it. However the work-arounds mentioned in this post have worked for me. I turned powersave plug-in off, set server to be static IP rather than DHCP, and when I experience the problem, I do the hold-the-power-key-down then left button trick to get it to cycle through the networking and it has not failed so far (knocking on wood) I am using: SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 - 10761 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Server IP address: 10.10.10.6 Player IP address: 10.10.10.7 Perl Version: 5.8.8 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt Player Firmware Version: 69 Thanks for the help in advance -- kkottman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kkottman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6866 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29230 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
