[slim] random mix (6.2.1), restrict by genre and directory?

2005-11-20 Thread Simon Oosthoek

Hi all I'm trying to install the slimserver rpm for 6.2.1 on my laptop, running Mandriva 2006.0. It's not working, so far. I had similar problems when I installed an older version on Mandriva 2005LE, but I guess I managed to solve it that time... The problem I see in /tmp/slimserver.log is: "Can'
