Yes, it appears there will be no upgrade from WHS v1 to Vail. So many aspects are different - the Drive Extender technology is vastly different, the add-in architecture is completely revamped.

Themis, you are correct. The WHS add-in does NOT auto-update, but it auto-downloads and alerts there is a new version. I don't think I've seen any third party add-ins that actually auto-update. The WHS, being server software, is architected to require uninstall and reinstall rather than in-place update (although I wish it were otherwise).

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] r8474 - Controller can't connect to servers anymore
Not sure of the timeline for a fixed Controller (jive) firmware. I ended up downgrading to 7.4 (r7790). I also took the liberty of editing the wiki (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.ph...te_via_SD_Card) to reflect 7.4 instead of 7.3. Note that you will have to delete the jive .bin file from cache\updates AND edit the jive.version file to reflect the current firmware (r7790) or else you will be prompted constantly to download a nonexistent firmware update. Finally, you'll need to stop/start the server and reboot the Controller to get everything out of RAM. -- gcurrie -Gordon Squeezebox Server 7.5 beta + HP MediaSmart EX485 Duet Squeezeplay on all PCs gcurrie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75139 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.4 Desktop Squeezeplay builds with Radio/Touch/new Controller UI now available
Settings seem to be saved properly now - excellent! As far as syncing, are other people getting audio output from Squeezeplay when it is synced to another player? I'm wondering if my results are unusual. I can sync from my desktop SP app to my Receiver. When I start playing a song on the Receiver, the Now Playing display on the desktop SP shows the current album and song, with the time slider advancing. But no audio output from the SP, even as I listen to the Reciever playing downstairs. Is there a setting in the SP, or in SBS somewhere I need to enable? -- gcurrie -Gordon Squeezebox Server 7.4 + HP MediaSmart EX485 Duet gcurrie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67760 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.4 Desktop Squeezeplay builds with Radio/Touch/new Controller UI now available
For your specific desire to SYNC the Squeezebox and Squeezeplayer, maybe a 7.3x version of both would do (don't know where to find them, but someone should post a link shortly). The 7.4+ builds of Squeezeplay have been broken when synchronizing - the result is no audio output. I can play music from my Receiver, and music from my Squeezeplay app, but as soon as I sync them I get no audio from Squeezeplay until I exit the app. (The IU indcates that the music IS synced correctly - but there is no audio.) I don't currently care about sync between software players and hardware (more interested in sync between hardware players) so it's not a deal-breaker for me. Maybe it has been fixed in a recent build??? -- gcurrie -Gordon Squeezebox Server 7.4 + HP MediaSmart EX485 Duet gcurrie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67760 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

I have SqueezePlay 7.4 installed on six PCs, and now that I've learned how to connect to my SBS (choose other player, then choose this player) AND properly persist settings (rename all lua.new files to lua) things are going pretty well. Of course, I am unable to connect with MySb to 'register' the players. It's a cool way to distribute my music into even more locations.

It would be nice if it uninstalled and reinstalled the new in one step. Don't know how possible this is, but it would probably involve stopping the SC server - likely too much work right now. b- IIRC, there is a setting in some preferences file for how often it looks for a new version and downloads it. I think it's 12 hours by default. So it won't even look for another build for 12 hours after you've installed the last one. c - I found it worked best for me to reserve a fixed IP for my WHS (and thus for any process running on it). If you are using DHCP from your router, you probably can reserve the current IP for your WHS. This gives you the same result (at least internally) as having a static IP.

Both the 7.4 server and the Controller firmware have features missing or broken.
