I have tried posting in a related thread twice with no replies. I have had Slimserver running in FC4 for several weeks now. I have Softsqueeze running on two clients and one SB (usually only one at a time though). I am seeking advice, suggestions, or help of any kind.
I can start playing from any of the above mentioned clients, sometimes for hours, sometimes not, and suddenly the music stops in the middle of a song, or sometimes changing songs but that is less often. I have watched processor usage and it is usually at about 10% or less (will jump higher briefly), memory usage is fine while Slimserver is operating properly. After the hang Slimserver is still running with little to no processor usage. Stopping the slimserver and restarting does nothing. The client window will connect, but the screen will be black. Attempts to use the http interface do not work, it will just stay trying to connect yet it does not timeout. I tried installing Slimserver on XP Pro but when giving it the path to the files it tells me: New value for Music Folder rejected: Oops - "\\filecentral\public\music" doesn't seem to be a valid directory. Try again. Or if I map a drive locally: New value for Music Folder rejected: Oops - "G:\" doesn't seem to be a valid directory. Try again I really want to keep the files on the network share. It has a 100MB interface which should be more than enough for the data Slimserver needs. My network hardware is a Dell PowerConnect Gigabit switch. My Network card for slimserver is an Intel Pro Gigabit. So back to linux. This black window will stay like that for 5-10 minutes and then it will reconnect and all is fine. Attempts to access the music file from another PC reveals some permission problems (only while the slimserver is hung though). A reboot fixes the problem immediately and releases the file to access again (from Slimserver or just for reading). I'm begging for suggestions. -- branas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ branas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2788 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19596 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
