Michael If you mean logged onto the Vista box, no. There currently are no non-privileged users. It's a new machine bought to run a drobo and squeezecenter. It's not doing much else right now though it may do more in the future. The last time I needed to restart the computer I tried using the tray icon to stop squeezecenter and for the first time, it worked. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
Yes it looks like Microsoft have been playing around with TCPIP again. They have also made some changes in the latest update to XP. I understand that for Windows Networking they are now insisting on a every packet being acknowledged before sending the next packet. This is causing havoc to companies that are trying to run Windows round the world. I am currently running SlimServer 6.5.2 on Vista SP1 OK and for the record the virus scanner is AVG 7.5. Can't see why SC7 should be any more critical but if you had to do any registry hacks to get the Networking stable as I did with Vista then Microsoft have chosen to change some of the key names in SP1 so I had to make a change after upgrade. This wasn't a SlimServer problem, it's just that my ageing router doesn't appreciate Microsoft's TCPIP enhancements and doesn't always DHCP. -- MrStan MrStan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1771 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
Some explanation of how services run in Windows, and this is valid for all versions. My apologies if this is already explained in this thread, too many posts to read The security model in Vista has been made a lot more complex than it's ever been in Windows, way too complex in my opinion. Some basics: - The user that logs on has no influence whatsoever on the security context of any of the services that run on the system. - The user may start or stop the services, that requires a specific right that's called Start/Stop Services. - If you have Power User rights or Administrator rights you may always do this (at least that's the case in Windows Server 2003) - The security context of the service is solely defined in the Service descriptor of the SqueezeCenter service, nowhere else! - If the service is set to Automatic start, you don't have to login, and you don't have to start the service to access SqueezeCenter, Windows will start it for you In order for SqueezeCenter to run properly, I guess it should always run as a service, because of the incredibly complex security model. If SqueezeCenter runs within the securityContext of the logged on user (hence not as a service) you get into the complex setting of changing or elevating security context, this is not necessary when running as a service. There is something around the OS security in Vista that I have never found out how works. As an Administrator user, you don't have access to many Kernel OS mechanisms, you need to escalate security context in order to do this. Sometimes this only works from Administrator user (Not a user with Administrator rights, but the Administrator user) Sometimes I have found this to work, sometimes not. I tried installing iTunes on Longhorn (which is the same code base as Vista) and it just didn't work at all if I ran the installation from a user with full admin rights. If I ran the installer from the Administrator user, it worked =:-O I have not had the opportunity to validate this, but I'm suggesting to check out a security right that's called Act as part of operating system that possibly may sort things out. I really don't know this because this is complex stuff, but this one may be a key... Vista is NOT easy on end users !! I have never tried Slimserver or SqueezeCenter on Vista, because now I've converted my home stuff to Suse Linux, and everything is smoking Regards Harald N -- haraldo Suse Linux / SC7 - SB3 - Benchmark DAC1 - Krell KAV400xi - Meadowlark Kestrel2 Everything is difficult before it's easy haraldo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
Hi, I am also having problems since installing 6.5.4 on a previously stable 6.5.3 vista install. Slimserver starts fine and runs in the background OK - my 3 squeezboxes run fine on a wireless G network, but when i open slimserver in internet explorer 7, it freezes the first time it 'refreshes' the screen. the only solution is to close internet explorer and restart - but the same thing happens each time. I am running alien BBC (which still works fine on the squeezboxes). I have uninstalled slimserver and re-installed. same problem.

Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
Michael, It was a 100% improvement! :) I didn't uninstall 6.5.1 but I did exit the tray icon, remove the additional two exe's from the Firewall exception list, and set the Slim Service back to 'Manual'. After installing May 12th's v6.5.2 build Firefox immediately opened the SS page (at http://127.0.0.1:9000/). This didn't happen in the previous build. After I updated the firmware on the player the SS webpage found my player. Again, this didn't happen before. On restarting my machine SS started automatically and I could click the tray icon (which now said running) to open the configuration page. Again, this didn't happen in the previous build. My only complaint is that all my preferences were wiped so I had to set-up my plugins, etc again.

If that what has to be done to get in working in Vista then so be it BUT if possible it would be nice if they were kept. From what I've understood about the issue, one problem (improvement) with Vista is, that any program can't write to the program folder - which SlimServer did until now. In cases where a software does this, it's written to some virtual folder structure. The installer has been changed to put the configuration elsewhere. I can imagine it didn't find the old file anymore. Search your drives - you'll probably find another slimserver.prefs file.

Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
On Vista, the latest nightlies will store all files created by the server in %ALLUSERSPROFILE% rather than under the program folder for this reason. Vista allows admin to write to the program folder, but not normal users. In this case it silently virtualises the filesystem to the users account. This has been causing us problems when the server was run as admin and later as a user. [look in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\ to see what has been virtualised for your account..] I'm afraid this move means your preferences will be lost as the installer creates a new blank one in the new location. If you want to work around this, and the old prefs are still in the program folder, then removing %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\SlimServer\slimserver.pref and restarting the server. This will hopefully copy over the old prefs minus the ones that need to change to the new location. -- Triode Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

But with Windows Firewall I guess I must be OK (since it's working now), although I confess I do not see SlimServer come up when I look for inbound rules. OK, I am running SlimServer reliably with Vista Ultimate 32bit and User Control enabled so I will have a go at helping. You need to go to Windows Control Panel, Firewall. Select Allow a program through Windows Firewall on the left hand side. It should ask you to confirm administator access which your user must have to change settings. Confirm OK and select the Exceptions tag at the top. Scroll down the programs list and you should see BOTH slim.exe and slimtray.exe with ticks beside them. If slimtray is missing then choose Add program. If Slimtray is not in this list then choose Browse. Browse to C:\Program Files\Slimserver and select Slimtray.exe. Select Open and OK in the next box until you return to the exceptions list and make sure that Slimtray is in there and the box is ticked. Select OK and that's all, close the Firewall box. The one program I do have some problems with is Slimtray. I suggest that you do not try to start or stop Slimserver using this application. It appears to work and the little Icon flashes away but it seems to be do nothing tto Slimserver so it is possible that it looks like it is running but isn't. The Web interface from Vista works fine unless you have anything else on your machine occupying port 9000 in which case you will need to reconfigure the Slimserver port. You can start Slimserver from Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Scroll down to Slimserver and make sure that both Slimserver and SlimserverMySQL are set to automatic. If Slimserver is not running then start it from here. You do not need to touch SlimserverMySQL as it will automatically follow. The other major problem I have discovered is if you wish to play ALC files. I cannot get socketwrapper to play ball at all with Vista and there is another thread lower down which will tell you how to substitute mplayer for these files. There does appear to be a Vista network bug particularly if you are using the NVidia chipset. Occaisionally the network port does not configure correctly on startup which will of course stop Slimserver working. I am still looking for a fix for this one and might be getting close. Just make sure your browser works before blaming Slimserver. For anyone having problems copying files across to Vista from another machine, beware. If the file system on the other machine is NTFS then you must be carefull not to copy any user rights along with them. Even if the user name you are using is identical the rights will not match and you will not have access. The user control will be hiding your administrative rights. If this happens then you must manually take ownership of any folders and files that you have copied and then set new rights for your current user. -- MrStan MrStan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1771 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
Purchased a new PC (basic Dell) with Vista about two weeks ago, as it was time. Vista is definitely proving itself to be buggy with other applications, but nothing like Silserver. I'm a certified Old Guy, and not computer literate by any stretch, but I do worship the slimserver experience, both for the radio listening experience and ease of my CD's having been converted to mp3. This forum is invaluable. My experience with Vista and Slimserver has been very frustrating, although many thanks to Vdorta's workaround -- I don't know what I would have done without it. Nonetheless, even after downloading 6.5.2 and reinstalling using Services.msc the settings (especially for SlimServerMySQL) don't want to stay set. It just seems to change itself, no rhyme or reason to it. What's up with that? Am I doing something wrong? And while I have tried upon installation to set Slimserver to start upon system starting, that setting does not stay checked -- is there a way to do it after installation? Also: when I try to open Slimserver from the system tray I get: Can't open to write to:\ProgramFiles\SlimServe\SlimServerWeb Interface Url: Permission Denied. Even after getting that, Slimserver opens -- sometimes -- from the desktop icon. Or if neither will open Slimserver, sometimes it nonetheless opens remotely by a wireless laptop. And like others have experienced, sometimes the Computer says Slimserver is running, but it's not-- confirmed by using the Services.msc drill, and, of course by the squeezebox itself. Rebooting, etc. doesn't seem to help, and often seems to make a mess of thing by changing my settings on automatically start to something else. As to firewalls: I think I'm all set with McAffee. But with Windows Firewall I guess I must be OK (since it's working now), although I confess I do not see SlimServer come up when I look for inbound rules. Does anyone have a suggestion on that-- i.e., how to make sure I'm OK with that. Microsoft's guidance is simply Greek to me, I confess. And I would welcome a step-by-step on making sure IE7 is set properly, if someone would be kind enough. Will this get better?

Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
I've had a variety of issues with Vista refusing to run certain apps automatically (even is they are set to 'run as administrator') and decided to switch off the user account control function. Potentially risky I know but there's no-one in the house who would cause problems and I'm pretty confident that my hardware and software firewalls are protecting me from the web. Anyway, reinstalled SS and bingo, it runs automatically on start-up every time and the browser interface works too. Fantastic I thought, but now my SB can't/won't connect to the network or SS, which is weird because a) it did before and b) it's hardwired to the network and not using a wireless connection. I haven't changed anything from standard on my router, firewalls or anti-virus.

Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
I have had the most success with the build 6.5.2 from a couple weeks ago. However, I still occastionally experience SlimServer not starting up when the OS launches even with the service set to Automatic Delayed or just Automatic (actucally Automatic seems to work best). This always requires rebooting the computer (sometimes a couple times) to get SS to start. Also, they other thing I am experiencing which never happened in XP is that occassionally a track will just stop playing in the middle of it. SlimServer is still running. This most times can be fixed by selecting another track and then going back to the track that stopped and start playing from there again. -- fingers fingers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5570 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
HifiSteve you might want to call/email support. I think something might be wrong with your player, have you checked its MAC address? Hold the left arrow on the remote for 5 seconds, then scroll down to 'current settings' and hit the right arrow. Then scroll down to MAC address and compare it with the sticker on the bottom, do they match? If they don't hit the right arrow once more and change the MAC address to match the sticker on the bottom of the player. If that doesn't help, I'd suggest contacting support about this networking issue. -- Ross L Ross Levine - Slim Devices Quality Assurance Ross L's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
I am using SS 6.5.1 and Vista Ultimate 32 bit clean build on a home-built system with top-of-the-line hardware. I followed the advice of Chris on the wiki for installation. All that worked fine, but.. Running thereafter was intermittent. Slimserver tray would usually appear to hang on startup - but after several tries, reboots, etc. I could usually get SS to run. After having gotten fed up with Vista annoyances from User Account Control (eg. refusing to delete folders transferred from previous PC) I disabled UAC. Now SS runs fine - as it did on previous PC under XP.
