My web browser is ok (Firefox) but so many things have changed w/ 7.0.x I am having similar problems with some client code I wrote. I would suggest to flush your browser's cache - or force a reload - just in case. However, I don't think this is the problem. What I noticed is that squeezecenter is using java for some of the web pages. I would check if you have it installed (something a little difficult for linux boxes as, I think, Sun keeps changing where java is stored - just read the directions for the version your are installing and make sure the older versions are not getting in the way). Also, you can check if the images are available (that you don't have something turned off) by pulling the images directly w/your web browser: > http://localhost:9000/music/2504/cover Where 2504, in this example, is the track id of a track on the album. And localhost assumes you are using the same computer to run squeezecenter as well as your browser. Otherwise use the IP of the computer running squeezecenter. If you don't know where to find a track id number just try a couple of numbers until you hit upon one with cover art. Anyone else have more idea? Hum, I just checked an older version of slimserver (6.3.0) and it uses java as well. Still, might want to check to make sure your browser is supporting such features as java. --- some differences I've seen: -cover file name does not need an extension (i.e. gif, png ...) -if you specify an extension the image will be translated to that format -you can specify size now in the file name (i.e. cover_100x100) -you can find out if an album has cover art (i.e. the "J" tag in certain CLI commands) -the image type meta data now always matches the pulled image -order of CLI tag field is different for some if not all CLI responses _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
