[slim] Version Histories

2006-04-17 Thread timjon

Hi,

Is there a list anywhere of which features / bugfixes were implemented
in which version of slimserver?

I tried updating from 5.1.1 to 6.2.1, but found a couple of (for me)
showstopping problems, regarding playlist handling and performance. I'm
now idly considering whether I should try one of the interim releases
(5.2, 5.3, 5.4 etc) but I can't find any information on what each of
those releases contained. 

Any ideas? Is it worth updating from 5.1.1 to (say) 5.4.1? (It's
looking like v6.X is going to be unusable for me due to performance.)

Cheers,

Tim.

[slim] Slow startup and scan

2006-04-16 Thread timjon

Hi,

I just updated from 5.1.1 to 6.2.1, and the server is taking forever to
start up and scan my music library. I've got around 6000 tracks (about
600 albums), and slimserver is running on a linux server, P3/550, 128
Mb RAM. It's currently been at 95% CPU for the past 45 minutes. 

I don't have any dodgy recursive links in my music library (no links at
all, in fact). 5.1.1 would scan this library in five minutes or less,
iirc.

Incidentally, if I try to access Internet Radio, it seems to crash the
server as well - slightly annoying since that was the main reason I
finally got around to updating. 

Any ideas? Is this server just too old / slow to cope?

Cheers,

Tim.

[slim] Folders under Playlists?

2006-04-16 Thread timjon

Hi all, 

I just updated slimserver from 5.1.1 to 6.2.1. I have a nested folder
structure in my playlists folder - so I might have, say, a folder
called "Pop playlists", which might contain "80s pop music", and then a
subfolder under that for "Electronica", which in turn would contain
several playlists. 

Under 5.1.1, this worked fine - but under 6.2.1, when I select "browse
playlists" (on the web interface or the hardware player) I just get all
the playlists in one flat list, with the folder hierarchies missing. 

I've been looking for options in server settings for this, but can't
find one. 

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Tim.
