If you're in Windows look in the Event log (Applications), that often
has a helpful message if slimserver stops.
Also try
- upgrading to latest 6.5.1 nightly
- using the default skin
- disabling plugins ( a lot of plugins will crash 6.5 if you don't have
the latest versions loaded)
Perhaps not a purist solution but FWIW I got really fed up with seeing
several albums called "Greatest Hits" in the album list, so renamed
them all "Greatest Hits - ".
More usable and completely avoids this problem!
