Hi, I've had this situation in the past but I can't remember the fix. It doesn't sound like your display has gone wrong though your date/time wouldn't work if this was the case. The Slimp3 display is driven from the server and I'd have thought this is the most likely area where the proble

Hi, There were two causes on my machine for the no album no artist problem under 6.5.0 1) Cover art embedded in the album. I went through the files with iTunes and deleted the cover art and all the tracks but one were put back in the database. 2) The track title was too long on the last tr

If the SB2 has the same 2.0A 5V PSU requirements as the Slimp3s and SB1 then In theory, this should be possible. You are pretty much right at the edge of the POE spec but there is a little margin. Yes you can buy POE adapters that inject at one end and have another device at the other end to extr

Hi, Since upgrading from 6.0.2 I've suffered regular Slimserver crashes. I've tried the latest 24/7 nightly with no improvement. I think the output logs below shows the cause; the database connection is being lost for some reason (although it was never lost on 6.0.2). I don't think it's MySQL s

I haven't tried it but to some extent, you should be able to set the "Multiple Items in Tags" parameter to say "/" and put several album names in one album name field. The only (big) problem that I can see is that, unless you are lucky, the track number will be wrong for all but one of the albums.

Christine, As long as you're using 6.0, replace the "," with a "/" and you should have what you want I think. Alternatively, change the "multiple items in tags" settings (Server Settings->Behaviour) to "," and you should also get what you want. Bare in mind that this setting seems to work on all
