1) Have you examined your slimserver log file for clues as to why its dying when you try to go to it? This should help you... Sounds like an issue with Perl (missing libraries, etc. causing the program to die) 2) See my last post in this thread about the Apple format issues 3) The -x command for lame is added in your SlimServer convert.conf file, one of my earliest posts in this thread shows how to do this... -- emeraldcityeg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emeraldcityeg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22572 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
