I have a new installation of SlimServer 6.2 on Windows XP. When I configure it with my music folder and tell it to scan, it runs for a little while and then crashes. The Event Log says 'Perl interpreter failed.' Some theories: I installed SlimServer first and started ripping my music to flac. A few days later, I found a Perl script that transcodes a flac-encoded music folder structure to Mp3 (for the iPod). I installed ActivePerl 5.8.7 to provide a runtime for the Perl script (I didn't know SlimServer came with Perl.) Could this be the problem, e.g., is SlimServer running in the ActivePerl runtime, with which it is not compatible? I also tried to figure out where the server was crashing, but it is ambiguous. Here is the point(s) in my folder structure where it failed: Artist A - Album 1 Artist B - Album 2 - (missing Album 3) <- did this one cause the failure? - (missing Album 4) Artist C - Album 5 Artist D - (missing Album 6) <- or was it this one? (missing Artists E...) Artist B | Album 3 is classical, so there is lots of punctuation in the song titles, and the song titles are long, etc. But if that caused the failure, why would Artist C | Album 5 have shown up? I see nothing unusual about Artist D | Album 6 that would cause the crash. Does anyone have any idea? -- veloearl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ veloearl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3045 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19555 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
