[slim] Re: Announce: Official SlimServer v6.5.1 Release
I had the same problem - I could not install 6.5.1 over 6.5.0 and have a functioning Slimserver afterwards. This problem occured on two of my machines - one XP, the other running Win 2K. What I did finally, is I completely uninstalled Slimserver on both machines, including deleting the directory from Program Files. I then installed 6.5.1. I made sure there were no firewall issues. On both machines that appeared to solve the problem. I am apologize to those who are indicating the wish for announcements only here. -Ron -- Ron F.

The slimserver icon was in the system tray. When I clicked it and selected 'open slimserver' the IE window opened with the message 'connecting' - but it never ever actually connected. -- mphearn mphearn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1764 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31826 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Sorry Andy, I can't make it work at all! I tried installing over 6.5.0
and got the error message "web page can't be found". I tried
uninstalling 6.5.0 and then a clean install of 6.5.1. Same result!
I then uninstalled 6.5.1 and re-installed 6.5.0 and everything reverted
to normal operation.
I have been using slimserver for about two years through all the
updates but this is the first one which will not work for me.

This is > true for the squeezeboxes that I have, too. It's working fine on my Mac, OS 10.4.8. No help to you, but it does provide data to compare with. for instance, what version of OS X are you using? Wired or wireless? I've known Safari refuse to recognise localhost. Seems absurd, but it happens. It's worth trying 127.0.0.1:9000 to see if that works. 6.5.1 does require a firmware update. If you forget that for long enough, I think the SB gives up completely, and you have to press and HOLD the Power button again to get anywhere. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31826 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Announce: Official SlimServer v6.5.1 Release
I didn't get a message about this through the announcements list, so I'd like to take this opportunity to again ask for it to be revived. The main discussion list is high volume; too high for me. I stay subscribed to keep abreast of announcements. I asked about this 'before' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22737), and some interest was expressed in an announcements-only list. It was pointed out that one already exists but is seldom used; this announcement seems to support that. In 'bug#3259' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3259) I suggested that the announcements list be revived. I proposed that an announcement made elsewhere should, if some checkbox was ticked on submission, be copied to the announcements list along with a link to the _original_ message. Thus, a copy of the 6.5.1 release announcement would be emailed to all who were interested, and would refer to this very thread for follow-up discussion (keeping the announcements list free of follow-ups). This seems like a good time to raise the suggestion again.
