Installed SlimServer_v2006-04-21.exe over SlimServer_v2006-04-15 on WinXP (AMD 64 X2 3800, 1Gb RAM), SB3, Netgear WGR614V4 wireless router, upgraded firmware to 43. SB3 would only fill buffer to max of 60% and stutter occasionally. Re-installed SlimServer_v2006-04-15, did not change firmware and all works perfectly with buffer at 100% until near the end of a song, where the buffer empties gracefully before loading the next song. -- Wirrunna Wirrunna's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3225 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23143 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
[SlimDevices: Beta] Podcast plugin in 6.5
It's been a while since I tried to use this plugin. A friend has just enquired about podcasts, and I was telling him how the slimserver can be used to directly play podcasts, when I realised that my server doesn't seem to work anymore. The podcast plugin is present in the plugins folder, but the plugin is not listed in server settings -> plugins. I believe there used to be a preference section to configure rss newsfeeds for the podcast plugin. Has this moved? There's no indication that the plugin is failing to load.

So I type 'des' into the selection panel and hit 'Check Names', the name is expanded to 'KING\Des', KING is my computer name. Hit 'ok'. Back on the Log on tab, the account name is now '.\Des'. However, it also wants a password! I don't have a password. I have several user accounts on an XP Pro SP2 using fast user switching.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: Windows Process Priority & Standby
I'd like to add my voice to the "please make this optional" crowd. I don't believe Windows processes should by default take a high priority. This would explain why I've been having problems. I installed 6.2.2 yesterday and had a variety of issues, which I tracked down to Slim having a high priority. Eventually, I was able to change this to normal, and everything was OK again. The problem arises when rescanning a MusicMagic (or Music IP now) library. Because Slim takes all the CPU priority, I think MIP runs into trouble. As a general rule, processes should be Normal, and set to high as the need arises perhaps. So, while 6.2.2 is set as High by default I'm not going to be able to use it.
