In case it was a problem with Squeezecenter I have downloaded the latest version, but can't get it to run. When I check in My Computer it shows the original version I downloaded in January. I suppose I should have waited until SC7 fully released. Should I delete old SC7 before installing new SC7 ? Mike Assuming you have Java installed on your computer, you can run softsqueeze as an applet. Try this from your SlimServer web-gui; it will run the applet from the webserver. -- jst1 http://house-server.com/ jst1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9160 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43491 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Best way to make systems more available to the average Joe?
I've found the Buffalo LinkStation to be an ideal platform for a SlimServer + Samba file server for a home / small office. It is a technically complicated process to install this software (firmware flash upgrade, Debian installation, compiling software, configuration...But it requires no fiddling once installed and operational. This platform is significantly more economical than the other alternatives, both in purchase cost and ongoing operations (due to extremely low power consumption). PM me if interested in learning more or sharing ideas on this. -- jst1 http://house-server.com/ jst1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9160 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43491 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Commercial Posting?
Is there an appropriate venue here in these forums for commercial postings for SlimServer hardware? There are a lot of threads on the topic of how to either build or buy the ideal platform, but the answers here generally take the 'DIY (do it yourself)' attitude. I'm interested in comments without starting a 'flame war'! -- jst1 jst1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9160 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43496 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SlimServer on Linux and iTunes problems
Michael Herger;207537 Wrote: Is it required to bounce slimserver after enabling the iTunes integration maybe? I have not restarted in in over a month. You can always try it. OTOH you wrote I have given open permissions on the 'iTunes' directory, You not only need setting it on that folder, but on the parent folders as well, starting with /home/username. Otherwise SlimServer can't even reach the folder it'd be allowed to acces. Michael So that means that I need to have the SlimServer user have access to the entire /home?

[slim] iTunes on Windows SlimServer on Linux
SlimServer on Linux box; iTunes on Windows with iTunes folder (via samba) the same directory as SlimServer Music Folder (/srv/music). The iTunes iTunes Music Library.xml file is on my Windows box 'C:\Documents and Settings\my_username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes'. Can I change the location of this file so that my slimserver on linux can read it? Can the xml file be located anywhere else? I rip CDs and organize tags with iTunes, and use SlimServer to stream to a SqueezeBox and remote players over an ssh tunnel. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- jst1 jst1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9160 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32321 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
