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] 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...
Must agree with the original poster -- I've been using 7.4 for the last 10 days or so and find it very usable. Even though I haven't been on the 7.4 train all that long, many changes have come down the pipe and they've all dropped into place fairly smoothly. Kudos to the developers for managing big changes like going from mysql to sqlite and back and keeping things running.

Thats not normal at all web-UI is functional here ? did you clean the browser cache. does it actually run . what did you upgrade from or rather did you upgrade ? not a clean install . They did brake the "migration" a couple of releases (weeks ? ) back, this because they renamed the aplication. If you dare to try again id' say backup your old dB and settings (to have when you go back to 7.3.x ) and remove every trace of earlier installs. Some folks here have managed to use some of their old settings file by open them and editing the file path's. You might have to manually clean out some things. the 7.3.x and older 7.4 have exe named squeezecenter file path's with .../squeezecenter in most places . Some intermediate 7.4 had squeezebox.exe and a mix of squeezebox and squeezeboxserver in folder paths. Newer 7.4 is squeezeboxserver everywhere . And I think they have made changes to the file path's in some OS . This makes for an ugly upgrade. This will be fixed in the official release, so that we don't end up with a mess when upgrading ( i don't hold my breath on that one ). Are you running windows ? as the program now have a new name it will be considered a new application by your anti-virus and some firewall's -- Mnyb No it can NOT be controlled with iTunes Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67125 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Usable state on which planet? I mean the thing doesn't even show my player nor does it even show any players in the drop down box. So I have no volume control or play/pause control. When I set up a streaming player it doesn't even show since the whole right side of the "default" interface is dead. This is not usable for most humans. Also Trackstat fails to load. I got it to work once, but then it just died with that error. I'm going back to 7.3.4 and I wonder what kind of errors I will find there. I hate to be so negative since I know the developers are really trying and they address issues very fast, so I will patiently wait. -- sxr71 sxr71's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18773 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67125 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

I agree... if the extended characters issue with MusicIP and SugarCube were fixed, I'd be using SB Server 7.4 beta on a regular basis. This would allow me to help with the beta testing (a little bit) by reporting in this forum any issues I find. In the meantime, I have to remain on the sidelines as I've become addicted to the spontaneous mixes generated by MusicIP and SugarCube. -- tamanaco tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67125 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
[SlimDevices: Beta] 7.4 beta in an unstable, but usable state...
Hi, Just wanted to say that for me 7.4 beta is in an unstable, but usable state. Over the last 2 to 3 months I've tried 7.4 beta several times, but reverted back to 7.3.3 (or 7.3.4) within an hour, because it was too unstable. Since this week I've been trying 7.4 and think it's in an usable state. Yes, it needs more work, but can live with the problems it causes right now. However, if the MusicIP (SugarCube) and extended characters problem would be fixed... (THAT would be great!) -- verypsb verypsb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17295 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67125 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
