I did it that way because of the time it takes to transfer songs to slimserver and the fact that I wanted playback to start immediately without the possibility of pauses caused by overloading Slimserver. For example, If I just hit random and play in MC then the playlist would be over 12000 songs l

Hi Criag, great piece of software. J River with Slimserver is so cool! I love it. One little request: Is it possible to transfer a whole playlist to slimserver? If I want play a whole album, slimserver gets only the first 5-6 songs and during playing first songs the rest. On the display of my

I created a "last played" dynamic playlist that shows the 50 most recently played albums, songs, artists, using Dynamic Playlists and TrackStat. I placed it on the SB3 top menu level using the player settings-->menu page in Slimserver. It worked fine for a long time. Now all of a sudden, I don't

That list ois good. Not only shows that the user but also mplayer.sh and flac are running. The "mplayer" process may also be running but the "grep" has filtered it out. In case mplayer is being blocked in some way - try mplayer standalone which should play through Mac speakers. cd /usr/local/b

Try ps -auxw This should list off all processes - look for the one running slimserver. From the install script I think (not 100% sure) like the user who did the install is deemed to be the user who runs slimserver. I know Slimserver can be run from Terminal - I just can't tell you how to do i

Mplayer could be OK as the size and banner look right. Mplayer playing BBC station uses about 20% of a 266Mhz PPC NAS - so if mplayer is actually playing a BBC station on a GHz PC - the cpu load is v. small. Mplayer built by mplayer site has all the audio and video options included so it can be
