(don't read any further if you're not willing/trying/wanting to run Squeezebox Server 7.4.1 nightly or later)
Happy to announce that for the adventurous FreeNAS 0.7 user there's now a new SlimNAS beta to play with. New features include: - simplified initial installation: if no SBS archive is available in the install folder, SlimNAS will provide a direct link to the latest SBS release - support auto update download: SBS will automatically download updates when available (if auto downloading is enabled - see Settings/Advanced/Software updates in SBS web UI) - provide links to downlaod pages for Squeezebox Server and SlimNAS updates - code cleanup: removal of some legacy code should speed up the SlimNAS admin page - smaller SlimNAS package The most important change isn't a new feature, though. As of SlimNAS 1.99.9 (to be v2.0) you'll need to install the regular tarball instead of the noCPAN version. Previous versions of SlimNAS came with all the modules required to run SBS. As we updated dependencies in SBS I had to update SlimNAS every time, breaking backwards compatibility etc. Eg. bug fixes in 7.4.1 break compatibility of SlimNAS 1.5 with the latest Squeezebox Server. What a pain! Thanks to my fine connections to the Squeezebox development team (thanks Andy!) we're now including those modules required for SlimNAS with the regular tarball archives. Thus whenever you update SBS you should get the updated modules for SlimNAS too. The latest SlimNAS 1.9.99 beta can be downloaded here: http://www.herger.net/slim/slimnas-1.9.99.tgz Please follow the general instructions on http://www.herger.net/SlimNAS. Get the latest Squeezebox Server 7.4.1 from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.4 Download the "Squeezebox Server: Linux Compressed Tarball" version. Have fun! And let me know about any trouble you see... _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
