Hello, I am running 2 SB Radios and 1 duet with the latest 7.5.1 SBS server on WHS and everything works fine concerning the alarm, every morning I have my local playlist running fine for more then 3 weeks now ! Before that I had issues, to fix everything I had to: - Uninstall SBS server previous version - clean all cache - Make sure my server is not running downloads or computer backup task at alarm clock time - Reinstall SBS latest version - Uninstall all crappy plugins that are installed by default Now everything works like a charm: quick and reliable. But I agree, until being almost a tech, this is not possible for the average user ! A shame ! -- Tartifless ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tartifless's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37024 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78256 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
