All, problem has been fixed with SS ver 6.5.2 and related Squeeze FW 81. For the moment I would stay with that. Hope the 6.5.2 will come out as an official release soon, I don't like to go with BETAs... Anyway I bought this new toy yesterday and.. HEY I'm so happy with that! I'm impressed it's v

Well you are making my point exactly. I would not know how to do neither 1 or 2 unless I use few hours digging in these forums to see what other people suggests or look into the directories myself to find out where those files are. Why not then just make it a "sticky" note at the top of this foru

But, as pointed out before in this thread and others, there is no need for a full install of nightly 6.5.2. It is only necessary to either: 1) update the firmware via SqueezeNetwork and adjust the version file manually, or 2) grab the firmware & version file from the latest nightly upload. The la

How much in the firmware changes between releases (e.g. 6.5.1 -> 6.5.2) that is incompatible with the older version? We know in this case that there are fixes for SqueezeNetwork which probably don't impact SlimServer. Can the firmware have a variable that tells SlimServer the oldest version of S

Slim/Logitech had a choice: keep Pandora/Rhapsody broken for all, or check in a firmware fix that would mean the official release is out of synch with the SqueezeNetwork firmware. On one hand, Pandora and Rhapsody wouldn't work for anybody. Fatal error. No more Pandora or Rhapsody. On the othe

But you don't need a full install of 6.5.2 to cure this 'problem' The only files required are from the slimserver/Firmware folder. Maybe the developers could make this available as a seperate download, until the official 6.5.2 release?? -- bonze QNAP TS-101 (version 2.0.1 build 0302T) SlimSer
