I got fed up and could not see anything to logically explain what was going wrong with the web interface. Then I realized I was working on my workstation, which is Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, and that in the long run, I wanted to run Slimserver on my main server. (I don't like to set something up on that server until I know I can make it work and won't end up with some odd mix of packages and such.) The server is still on Debian Sarge (one of these days I've got to upgrade to Etch!). I added the Slimdevices repository and installed Slimserver.
Not only is it working fine (mostly -- doesn't see my playlists!), but my Squeezebox came in at the local store today so I picked it up and it's working fine. So, for now, the big problem is solved. I'm still looking at the possibility of adding some cheap playback clients, either by buying some Nokia 770s or by using OpenWRT with a router and USB sound card. Thank you, to everyone, for the help and especially to those who stayed with the topic until now. I'm thrilled to have my squeezebox working, which means I can set it up with my stereo and as soon as I get a chance, I'm finally going to take the big plunge and add wireless to my system so I can hear my tunes on my porch (where I spend all my relaxing time in the summer) without being restricted to one CD at a time. -- HalNineThousand ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HalNineThousand's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37034 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
