James, sorry for the noob question, but where do I get the latest

So far, so good. James, I should also thank you very much for the

You'll have to rescan. It's a manual process.
You don't need your laptop on for that, it's a function of SlimServer

Two major improvements for me would be:

up/down a playlist, other than to click the arrow, wait for refresh,
