It's been my experience that 6.5.x (latest 6.5.3) is the worst POS software I've ever had the misfortune of using, bar none.
If you press the stop button on an AACplus internet radio stream, SlimServer locks up and may render the server unusable without a reboot. If a .ogg internet radio stream stops, the Squeezebox gets stuck in a state that requires unplugging it and plugging it back in again for it to work. I've had my Squeezebox 2 for several years now, and in all that time I've only had to unplug it once to get it to play tunes again. Today, I've had to unplug and re-plug the Squeezebox about five times to get it out of a locked up state. This is due to replacing the 6.3.1 SlimServer with 6.5.3. I've had to eliminate all .ogg and AACplus internet radio streams from my list to even get it into this state. If you want to see the caliber of the so-called "software QA" of SlimDevices, just install 6.5.3. Look at the install dialog box. It will tell you that you are installing 6.5.2. As far as I can tell, there is no software QA of SlimServer whatsoever. Or if there is, they are a bunch of complete idiots who are totally asleep at the wheel. Sean is a great guy who has done a superb job with the Squeezebox and Transporter hardware. But the so-called "software QA" of SlimServer is a complete joke - if it exists at all, which I doubt. Sean has associated himself with bad company here, which will have the end result of giving him a bad name. -- andy_c ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andy_c's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36793 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
