Re: [slim] Help with some debugging please!
There is no wiki - just anecdotal postings. My preferred way to upgrade is as follows: 1. Note installed plugins and settings. 2. Uninstall Slimserver 3. Delete the Slimserver directory 4. Run the new Slimseverer installation. 5. Scan and build new database. 6. Re-install plugins and re-enter settings. There are some items which can be saved as external files such as playlist and radio station lists. These can be reloaded when new version is up and running. Furthermore I think you should install a nightly 6.5.2 as there were some memory leak issues with SlimTray in 6.5.1. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33247 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Help with some debugging please!
Thanks bpa When you say delete, do you mean clear the whole slimserver folder to the trash can? Any files I should save? Or the WinXP uninstall? Is there a wiki on this somewhere?

Re: [slim] Help with some debugging please!
If you're still on 6.5.0 - I think you will only get more help when you move to 6.5.1. When you upgrade to 6.5.1 you must delete the old 6.5.0 installation as there are a lot of changes and an "overwrite" upgrade doesn't seems to be reliable. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33247 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I am using 6.5.1. The location of the file will depend on your installation but generally in the Cache directory.

The latest official release of SaverSwitcher definitely has some known bugs -- mainly for cases where someone has chosen SaverSwitcher as a screensaver but hasn't made the appropriate 1/9 saver "active". The bugs related to that tend to be CPU-hogging bugs, though, not crashing bugs (to the best of my knowledge). I think I've fixed those bugs, but haven't done enough testing to feel comfortable with a new release. Anyway, as I said, I'm not aware of any fatal/crashing bugs since release 1.5. If you find anything wrong that looks like SaverSwitcher, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix the problem ASAP.

If you are on Windows, check the Event Viewer for information about the crash: start->settings=>control panel->administration tools to dig further, stop the server and open a command prompt: start->programs->accessories->command prompt. run the following: c:\program files\slimserver\server\slim.exe --d_plugins --d_source That will show you plugin and playback activity so that you have some idea of what the server is doing when it stops, as well as any messages that can't be trapped by the event viewer. if you aren't on windows, then skip the event viewer and open a command-line, running slimserver.pl --d_plugins --d_source instead. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Hi, My Slimserver has picked up the habit of just stopping for no apparent reason. I can re-start it from the slimtray with no problems whatsoever, though. I think it might have to do with some plugins I've been playing around with lately, namely Fileviewer.pm, SaverSwitcher.pm (which I had trouble installing, so maybe there is still something funny going on?), or possibly lastfm, although I think this one was running for quite a while without causing trouble.
