Recently, I installed the SlimServer 6.2.0 (tried both the rpm & source) on Fedora Core 3 with perl 5.8.5. It mostly works great, except when I tried to save playlists through the command line interface.
What happens is that the SlimServer emits a segmentation fault and died when I sent it the "[player id] playlist save [name]" command. However, a more bizarre thing is that the first save attempt usually works (not 100% though), but the 2nd one crashes. If I restart the SlimServer, I can normally save the playlist once, but the 2nd attempt crashes it again. I also noticed that when the SlimServer crashes, the playlist is only (what I call) half saved. That is, the playlist seems to be stored in the SlimServer's internal database, .slimserversql.db, but not written as a .m3u file in the right path. So, restarting the SlimServer will allow me seeing the (half saved) playlist, but if I delete the database file, it will be gone. Also, when I looked at the SlimServer log file, I noticed several instances of "Null Track Request" and "Couldn't fetch object for URL: []" from Slim::DataStores::DBI::DBIStore::objectForUrl and Slim::Control::Command::execute. From the timestamp, these messages are logged seconds and minutes before crashing. Right now, I'm suspecting these messages are logged when I'm playing the music (changing tracks, etc.), but I'm not entirely sure. Finally, an even more bizarre thing is that SlimServer works perfectly fine on another machine with Ubuntu (Hoary) and perl 5.8.4. I can save the playlist multiple times and it doesn't crash at all. Btw, on the Ubuntu machine, there are also multiple instances of the "Null Track Request" and "Couldn't fetch object for URL: []" error messages. Does anybody have any clue about why this happens? I'm totally confused right now... :-( -- jbcsl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jbcsl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1228 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18157 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
