You might try installing the full svn version. I'm running 6.5 that way and, aside from expected beta hiccups, it's working really well with my all-flac library. The only area that seems unfunctional right now is playlists. You can check the wiki for instructions on installing the whole svn, but, briefly, you'll need to: Download and install Activestate Perl: http://www.activestate.com/store/languages/register.plex?id=ActivePerl Find and download a version of subversion. I use this one: http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/NewsItemView?newsItemID=1417 Run a batch file something like this: c: md "C:\Program Files\SlimServer65" cd "C:\Program Files\SlimServer65" "C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svn.exe" co http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/trunk "C:\Program Files\SlimServer65" Thereafter, to update to the most current version, run this command: "C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svn.exe" up "C:\Program Files\Slimserver65" See the wiki for how to run the full-blown perl and code system as a windows service. -- gharris999 gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20261 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

Obviously the numeric pagebar is available, but not > extremely > useful. Other thoughts? It certainly seems like it causes a lot of grief for the developers! Unless all album covers can appear on a single page, you need some way to accurately seek to your artwork. Playing the "click the Next button until you find what you seek" game is really painful. Being able to skip directly to the area of choice is pretty important in my mind. With Adrian's work on artwork sort underway, being able to seek seems even more useful. I'd love to see the preference for sort order moved to the top of the artwork page (and others too), so that a click of the mouse just re-sorts. I've been using a app on Windows called OrangeCD to catalog my rips, CDs, and DVDs. It presents all artwork on a single page, and lazy-fills as necessary upon scrolling. Its pretty darned responsive, but then its not browser based and doesn't suffer the ill-affects of some browsers with large pages and objects. OrangeCD handles some things really nicely (but I can't say much about the Author's responsiveness). I think of it often when I think of how Slimserver could evolve. If you care to see how it looks, I can post a screenshot. Other than that, I don't have any other ideas to replace the index. -- MrC MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20199 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: IR Blaster tests
The volume codes work and I am able to select my receiver's SB3 input using one of the number codes. Thanks so much for the help. Discrete power on and power off codes would be nice but it doesn't look like Panasonic provides them. A few minor issues: If I associate a sequence of codes with a particular Action, only the last code in the sequence is blasted to my receiver. For example, I associated my receiver's "CD input" and "volup" code with the VolUp action but only the "volup" code is blasted when I press VolUp on the slim remote. If the "CD input" code is listed second, only the "CD Input" code is blasted when I press VolUp on the slim remote. Each code blasts correctly using the Test button on the Web interface. I have set the digital outputs to a fixed volume. My SB3 now displays "Volume(20)" each time I press a volume button on the remote. Any suggestions to make SB3 display a more-intuitive message in response to volume control when the digital output volume are fixed? 6.2.1 and firmware 28 -- Duman Duman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=809 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16597 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: Changing sort order of Browse Artwork
My server settings are "Group compilation albums together" and "List albums by band". If I change my server settings to display artwork in album order, then "Browse Artwork" correctly displays the album under "R" (Romeo Must Die"), but the caption still incorrectly reads "Romeo Must Die by Stanley Clarke". However, if I go to "Browse Albums", the album correctly appears as "Romeo Must Die by Various Artists" So in summary, "Browse Artwork (sorted by album)" and "Browse Albums" identify the album artist in different ways, even though they should use exactly the same logic.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: Changing sort order of Browse Artwork
>From what I can tell, the Various Artists handling doesn't work correctly. If an album has no "album artist", but each track has a different "track artist", then the album is sorted as follows: - The list sorting uses the first track's artist. - The index and album caption use the last track's artist. For example, where my index goes "8 S A", the "S" refers to the following album: Album : Romeo Must Die First track : Try Again, by Aaliyah Last track : Swing On, by Stanley Clarke This album should appear under "V" for Various Artists. However, it actually appears between "8" and "A", with an index of "S". The album presumably appears between "8" and "A" because the first track's artist is Aaliyah. Meanwhile, the index is "S" because the last track's artist is Stanley Clarke. Also, the album caption (below the album art) reads "Romeo Must Die by Stanley Clarke". Does this help?

However, it installs and starts minimized on my task bar but never begins searching my library or appears to give me access. 6.2 took all of a few seconds to initialize.
