Re: [slim] small bug details in 6.5.0
- an empty album tag is filled in with what seems to be the last known album name (should stay empty) I'd say this is a feature: if slimserver doesn't find tag information, it tries to do a best guess from your folder/file structure (see Server Settings/Formatting/GUESS TAGS FORMATS) - any empty YEAR tag is shown as "0" What would you except? Setting / information: - Player IP and number of players are changed. Could you please explain this further? Slimserver isn't responsible for IP addresses.

Try doing an un-install and then a re-install using 6.5. Most of the 6.3 plugins aren't compatible with 6.5, and they aren't removed on install either, so that might explain your crashing. 6.5 is worth the upgrade, and it's running strong on my windows box.

[slim] Re: No library after upgrade to 6.5
According to that log, mysql is quitting because you are trying to run it as root, and mysql doesn't like that, as it's a security risk. Easiest (and safest) way to get around that is to create a user for the slimserver (and thus the mysql process) to run as, and then invoke slimserver as that user. Could be that that just such a user was already created as part of the install process. Check /etc/passwd to see if you have some kind of a slimserver user. -- benh benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27683 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Uninstall Slimserver 6.3 prior to installing 6.5
Don't consider this an "official answer", but I would say that it'd be best to un-install the 6.3 before installing 6.5. The only reason I could think of that you wouldn't want to do this is A. you don't want to do a rescan or B. you don't want to reinstall your plugins. However ... since they're moving from sqllite to MySQL on this release, you'll need to rescan anyway, and most of your 6.3 plugins won't be compatible with 6.5. So, reasons A&B are out the door. So ... with that said ... uninstall, and do a clean install, and avoid any possible "version poisoning" that could occur by installing 6.5 over 6.x. Frankly, I think they could've made the install for 6.5 a little "smarter", but I think they rushed the release due to the need to supporth the high-dollar transporter they're currently shipping to consumers, and needs 6.5 to run. -- jeffluckett jeffluckett's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27686 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

First, are you on the same machine as SlimServer is installed on? If not, then you need to use the IP address of the other machine instead of localhost. Second, if you are on the same machine, are you certain that SlimServer is running? Check the task manager under "Processes" for slim.exe ... make sure the "show processes for all users" is checked.

Sometimes when you switch skins, stuff gets all goofed up in the browser cache. If you are on a PC, hit CTRL+F5 simultaneously to force the browser to fully refresh, not use its local cached copy.

It updated it again (or at least updated the same firmware a second time) and voila! it worked like a charm. No more stuttering, no more connection issues.

Thank you again. In the end, (and before seeing your note, I have to say), I did it the other way round: rather than fiddle about with the whole network, I used the working ethernet/Airport Express connection to reinstal the firmware (in effect resetting the machine).

[slim] 6.5 Installation not overwriting some files?
While trying to diagnose a WMA related problem, I found out that the files under \SlimServer\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread were not updated when I installed 6.5. I tried to reinstall, manually stop SlimServer, then reinstall etc, but no use. The files remain the old versions from earlier versions. In fact the files in the folder were dated from Nov 2005. At the end, I manually deleted the files and install 6.5 again. And sure enough, newer files are finally written into the folder. Maybe the installation is not overwriting all the old files?

The database schema is different from that used in 6.3, so SlimServer will need to wipe it out, create a new one and rescan. You'd probably be better off starting with an empty database.

'Fraid my experience isn't so good, to the extent that I no longer have MIP enabled. No problems with being able to create mixes - issue is with the way albums are presented. If I enable MIP (either with blank path in SS or with the library path set)I find that multi disc sets are shown in bizarre ways. For instance - Siegfried is a 4 disc set. I have the tracks numbered sequentially through all four 'CD's as if they were in one album, and all the tracks are in a single folder. The album name, artist, composer (all non-track related tags) are exactly the same for all tracks. With MIP turned off the album is shown as one album (as set in Behaviour)- no problem. But with MIP enabled I get variable numbers of albums - the last time I tried this morning I had two albums, both called Siegfried, each containing seemingly random tracks from the original four CDs. In other cases there may be three or four albums shown, with the same behaviour. I've removed the MIP tags from the (FLAC) fles, deleted from MIP and then revalidated. I've completely reinstalled SS more times than I care to remember, re scanned, checked all tags in Foobar and Tag&Rename - you name it, I think I've tried it.

Yes, if you have things setup correctly. In your MySQL server create a database for SlimServer to use. It can have any name you like. Then create a user and give the user all permissions to that database. Stop SlimServer and edit the slimserver.pref file. Modify the following three lines with the username and password, the host IP adress and port and the MySQL database name. Use 127.0.0.1 for the hostname if the MySQL server is running on the same machine as SlimServer. Code: dbpassword: your_dbuser_password dbsource: dbi:mysql:hostname=192.168.9.4;port=3306;database=your_dbname dbusername: your_dbuser Make sure your MySQL is running and then start up SlimServer.

[slim] Problem installing 6.5 - error when build-perl-modules.pl try to download modules
I am trying to upgrade from 6.2.2 to 6.5 on my gentoo box with use of the tar.gz package. When I try to run ./build-perl-modules.pl I get the following errors: Please enter a perl binary to use (defaults to /usr/bin/perl) This must be the same perl binary that you ran this program with --> Please enter the path to your SlimServer directory (ex: /usr/local/slimserver) --> /usr/local/slimserver Please enter a directory to download files to --> /tmp Downloads will use lwp to fetch tarballs.

Something looks wrong - I couldn't read /tmp/Compress-Zlib-1.41.tar.gz, which I just downloaded.

I didnt't have this problem installing 6.2.2. The internet connection is working. Dos anyone have a clue what could be wrong?

[slim] Re: New 6.5.0
Well... I think I made a mistake because it seems nobody have the same problem I have. I upgrade to 6.5.0 and now, if I read an album, between track 1 and 2 I have to wait 2 minutes (yes 120 seconds exactly.. a timer ?) . The remote controller is frozen during this 2 mn and timer on SB3 remains at 00:21. After the track 2, nothing . I push buttons on remote and after an indeterminate time it work again, with same problem. I try also with softsqueze and its the same Somebodys got an idea?

SlimServer 6.5 uses an entirely new system for skinning the web interface and some of the old skins couldn't be maintained. I'm guessing the installation/upgrade process didn't take this into account, so your skin setting is pointing to a non-existent skin. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27645 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
