Re: [slim] Re: Is SS 6.2 ready for prime time?
agentsmith said the following on 27/10/2005 05:00: As posted by the previous poster, 6.2 is seriously broken. With server either not starting OR stopping itself continuously. I tried the 6.5 beta with similar results. For your information I ended up wiping an entire hard drive with a brand new install of Windows XP SP1 and ONLY SlimServer running. SlimServer 6.2 still refuses to start. Beta 6.5 started OK and running so far so good. *** I would assert that the production release of 6.2 is broken until Slim Devices provides a Solution *** I would asset that something you're doing is broken as many people are successfully running the production release of 6.2 on Windows XP. Please try and moderate your assertions on future unless you have evidence that they are accurate. Now, if you want us to try and help you I suggest you post a few more details (exactly what you're doing, what you see happening, log messages, etc) or send mail to support at slimdevices.com.

Re: [slim] Re: Is SS 6.2 ready for prime time?
Thanks Dan. Guess I'll wait for 6.2.1 because I have a lot of Various Artist albums tagged and stored as Various Artists/Album Name/Artist - Song Title. Well for what it's worth, for someone like me who has an album-per-directory structure, the Various Artists feature works like a charm. My browse artists list has shrunk immensely; the Various link shows me those albums that are compilations, and otherwise I can browse by single-artist album -- pretty much exactly the way I've always wanted to be able to. (In other words, I'm pretty darn happy with 6.2. Thanks to one and all for a tremendous effort.)

Jeff52 wrote: Steve I have my albums in folders as follows: Various Artists/Album Name/Artist-SongTitle i.e., each compilation is in a Various Artist Folder under the album name with all tracks in the album folder. Are you saying that presents no problems in SS 6.2? If that is the case then I'm ready to install. I think you should be fine. That's almost exactly my layout. In any event, it's always possible to install the new version and try it out. Simply install it to a different directory. Do not install as a service, or as something that will automatically run at startup. Then stop your current Slimserver for a moment to test the new version. Open a DOS window (or a shell window, if you're running Linux) and run the executable by hand. Connect via your browser to port 9000 as usual, play with some of the settings, see what you get. I think you'll be happily surprised. SBB Visit our website at http://www.ubs.com This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
