Ah! Like I said, there is a thread in the slimserver mailing list from February on that talks about, how when the CLI is used, slimserver crashes. The solution was to move to Perl 5.8.8 > So if nothing else, now you and I are looking at the same slimserver. > I have many selections with artwork, and many without.

Yes, that's because slimserver's default "no artwork found" is a png file which I don't think is something that mvpmc can decode. I have asked and we (mvpmc users) would have to patch slimserver to server up a jpg image as this is hard coded. I meant to have mvpmc use it's own art work when this happened but the dongle is very tight and images can push it over the edge space wise.

Maybe one of those new fangled battery-less ones with the tuning forks? No, I'm not as old as dirt - I just barely remember these things from when I was a kid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Adler#Contributions_to_the_remote_control > stuart wrote: >> >> Update... >> >> I upgraded to slimserver 6.5.2 which now has a fairly complete version >> information of all the important software: >> ---- >> VERSION INFO >> >> SlimServer Version: 6.5.2 - 12047 - RedHat - EN - utf8 >> Server IP address: 0.0.0.0 >> Perl Version: 5.8.8 i386-linux-thread-multi >> MySQL Version: 5.0.21-standard >> ---- >> So far I have had no problems.
