I'd like to see these dot releases come out a little quicker personally - especially when there has been a bit of trouble.

If the issues you are having have already been fixed, then you could try a nightly build. The nightlies for 7.2.1 are only for bug fixes, so although they aren't official releases are only going to be less buggy than the official release that procedes it. 7.3 is different as it is a significant version increase so will have periods of instability and problems as new features are worked in and large sections of coe changed. http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/latest/7.2/ -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53138 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It worked for me but there have been a lot of complaints about the scanning in 7.2 so it seems to me that getting the .1 released would be a pretty high priority. -- kanoot kanoot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4324 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53138 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

if you said profoundly dissatisfied rather than disgusted you might find more sympathy from forum contributors.

Re: [slim] Disgusted with 7.2
Scanner crashes are often caused by your antivirus - what does the scanner.log say? Post up the error messages and we may be able to narrow the problem down for you.

That is the very definition of the most common setup used in the United States But perhaps not for customers of Slimdevices who are well aware of the limitations (DRM) and lock-in of Apple's offerings. -- amcluesent amcluesent's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53138 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

With the exception of iTunes we have very similar setups. Multiple SB devices, SC7.2, WinXP SP3 (SP2 when updated to SC7.2), laptop as server, router. I believe SC had numerous issues with anti-virus programs as it was a completely different program than the old SS. I know my anti-virus threw up a couple warnings, but it got over it. :) I bring this up to suggest you may want to temporarily disable or turn off your anti-virus program and firewall, then re-boot everything, try re-scanning again. Disconnect your router from the internet if security concerns you with no anti-virus or firewall running.

Never asked a question in this forum before and then comes in screaming 'disgusted'. I'm disgusted by your lack of manners. So don't upgrade. Buy some other product and see if you *ever* get major functionality in upgrades for free, cause ususally, you just don't.
