Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.4 beta in an unstable, but usable state...
There were some rough days (especially when going back from SQLite to mySQL and going to the test website). But I have been able to listen to music every day with every upgrade. I think the longest time I have been busy with an update was about half an hour. The controller has been a bit unreliable (spontaneous restarts, etc.), but that phase seems over now. So for a unstable beta version, I see it as a very acceptable transition process.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.4 beta in an unstable, but usable state...
I'm afraid I'm in sxr71's camp. After changing players they all disappeared from the menu and a restart didn't cure the problem. This was using the latest build of SC.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] changes to internetradio without good reason ?
To my liking, too much has been pressed into the new and shiny (urgs!) App category. And Apps are player-specific. So yes, it's a hassle to manually keep track of what needs to be installed on which player and probably loose it during the next firmware update. Apps (which aren't, mostly, but just menu extensions) can be nice, but a feasible default set should be pre-selected, and a feature introduced like Make this app available on all players. They're talking about new managers and people who shall optimize the system for average Joes (aka normal users) but what they -do- is make it all more unusable and cluttered and have much more keypresses needed instead of less. I do understand that there's a lot going on behind the scenes, like adopting everything for the new hardware, and I can understand things not working in beta versions, but I cannot understand heading the whole business unit in (what I feel) the wrong direction. Like, for heaven's sake, who wants a small 4 touch screen device in his HiFi rack which cannot be moved (due to the cabling) and needs crossing the living room to even read what's on the screen, or press Mute or Next song? (I -love- my Duet when it works ;-) Oh well. This was supposed to become a positive post, but I*couldn't help it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SqueezeCenter 7.4 Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6)
andyg;452698 Wrote: Update on Snow Leopard status: SC 7.3.4 as of r28351 should run on Snow Leopard in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode. The Preference Pane only supports 32-bit, so if you have a 64-bit system you need to click the annoying button to restart the PrefPane in 32-bit mode. 7.4 needs more work before it's fully compatible. I hope to get that done early this weekend. Thank you Andy. I installed the August 29th version 7.3.4-28351 for Macintosh. The good news: The SqueezeCenter pane app, when launched, shows Stop Server meaning it is running. The button for Web Access is now active, in black as opposed to being grayed out. The unit connected to the receiver is now showing White as opposed to Blue and I just confirmed that, with the remote, everything is working fine to play music. The bad news: As I noticed what MacMeijers just said, I too have the same problem. Usually clicking on Web Access brings up two web pages. I currently tries to load Local:9000 and it can't find our load in the server (my hard drive I assume) nor does the URL for Settings and updating or changing or replacing and rescanning come up. Any suggestions Andy or anyone else? Getting there Thanks!

andyg;452825 Wrote: This is strange, as I fixed the web UI issue last night. Will do some more testing. One more thing I should tell you Andy: When I first launched the pane, without my having touched anything, my main music hard drive was accessed for a few minutes then a separate hard drive with my iTunes items also was accessed for a while. These are my two Logitech music source choices so this seemed like it was polling both drives and/or updating something. But, subsequently, pressing Web Access lead to the Local:9000 page coming up in Safari but then it would not find the server, which seems odd. Do you think some of the new Security changes in Snow Leopard may be an issue? Here's what MacWorld said about the changes: Security The Security pane has undergone some big changes from Leopard to Snow Leopard. For starters, if you opt to require a password when waking the computer from sleep or the screen saver, you can now specify a time-delay (5 seconds; 1, 5, or 15 minutes; or 1 or 4 hours) before that password is necessary. You can also disable Snow Leopards new Location Services (see Snow Leopards little changes) in the Security pane, as well as reset warnings and permissions for applications. Finally, the firewall settings have been revamped considerably. The main firewall tab provides a simple On/Off setting; to configure the firewall, you click the Advanced button. Your options now include blocking all incoming connections, automatically allowing connections to signed software (those with a valid certificate authority), enabling stealth mode, and configuring individual firewall rules. Leopards option to enable and view firewall logs is gone.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] MySQL scrash
The workaround is to delete all pdk folders at start up via a scheduled task with the following commends modified for your install. A much simpler and safer way to do this is to update to 7.3.4. Your script might try to delete anything from any program. Eg. Office will write to those folder too. You can't just wipe them. It might upset quite a few programs. ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
