I can only see one setting for file location. Is it possible to have more than one - I have two separate NAS drives, and I'd like to point at both, but I can't see an easy way to do it. "to point" is the keyword: you can put shortcuts from one to the other in the main folder. This will be foll

It's been a while since I dealt with QoS and I'm not sure if it is used generally but XP implemented it. I don't know of specific tools just general ones like Ethereal. Perhaps if you disabled QoS in the XP network interface it would be interesting to see if it makes a difference to Video stream

If you really do have 100s of GB's in your FileCache directory, the first time you run a build of 6.5 with the cache cleanup code, it will take a long time for it to clean out the cache. Just let it run. For more detailed info you can run slim.exe --d_server from the command line. -- andyg --

OK, here's something weird. I took Philip Glass's "Fog of War" album (ripped with iTunes in AAC @ 224 kbps) from my iTunes folder and copied it in my Slimserver music folder. I tagged it in the "classique" genre in iTunes. But after I copied it in my Slimserver music folder, for an obscure reaso
