It is my belief that the really big issues that people encounter tend to be when they're trying to extend Slimserver to do this or that. Extending Slimserver through plugins, hacks, etc. is one of the coolest parts of Slimserver, but it's also where instability can make easy inroads.
Slimserver does a ton of stuff. If you just want it to play (reasonably tagged) mp3s reliably, it will absolutely do that, in a very stable manner. Use Linux as your server platform and your stability goes that much higher (there could be a whole separate thread as to whether Microsoft Windows is suitable for use in professional installations; I'm just sayin). When using Slimserver in this fashion, which is most of the time, my slimserver never ever crashes. That said, I screw with my slimserver installation frequently. I install plugins, I hack the code, I bounce back and forth between 6.5 and 7.x, I try playing weird files, etc. As such, I have crashed it many times. And I thank slimdevices for allowing for me to cause these problems (not kidding). #!/ben -- bklaas "the Nokia770 skin guy" http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35307 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
