So it all looks good now, other than the "All Artists"/"All Albums" thing. The "All Albums" item is as designed. You will generally see a 'All xxx" at every level of the hierarchy, where xxx represents the next level down - albums when you're viewing artists, songs when you're viewing albums. An "All Artists" link while browsing artists would just get you to the same page, no? --Vidur ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

30 minutes or so after I started it, the scan is done. The playlists are once again visible, and they load fairly quickly. So it all looks good now, other than the "All Artists"/"All Albums" thing. I'll post any new observations after I have a chance to test it more extensively.

Re: [slim] Announce: SlimServer 6.1b1 and SqueezeNetwork Beta
Perhaps I spoke too soon. I decided to really test the performance and started poking around in some of the menu options that traditionally caused me performance problems. Then I noticed that it only saw 86 artists in my library, which is very low. So I did a full library wipe and rescan. This caused the clocks on my SB2 and SB to pause for long periods of time, as it did before. So that part of the DB hasn't been sped up, but if that only happens when doing a rescan, I can live with it. The rescan is still going after several minutes. I'll post my observations once it completes. It may fix my playlist issue. I'll be sure to test to see if the DB is snappy loading large playlists once it gets done rescanning. I want to make sure that wasn't just a product of my artificially small library. On 6/29/05, Mitch Harding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just updated to this level from 6.0.2.

Re: [slim] Announce: SlimServer 6.1b1 and SqueezeNetwork Beta
I just updated to this level from 6.0.2. It seems much snappier -- I added my entire music collection as a playlist and it added and shuffled within seconds. Before this would have brought the server to its knees for a while. So kudos there. However, my playlists seem to have disappeared. More precisely, the Slimserver doesn't see them. The files are still as I left them, and I checked and the playlist directory is still set correctly in Slimserver. But when I browse playlists, none of them show up. Any ideas? Also, a minor bug. I did Browse Music -> Browse Artists and then went to the top of the list where I expected to see "All Artists", but instead it said "All Albums". Maybe that's as intended -- I can't remember the previous behavior. Seems like it should say All Artists, though. Anyway, help on the playlists would be appreciated. Any way I can force Slimserver to see them? I haven't played around with SqueezeNetwork yet. I may try that over the long holiday weekend. On the whole, very nice. One of my biggest pet peeves was the slowness to load large sets of songs.

Generally in software development beta releases are to get the product feature complete and then they begin working the remaining smallish bugs as the release approaches. I've certainly got my own pet bugs too, many still assigned to 6.1 but unfixed, but I won't waste your time with them.
