Yeah, thanks for reminding me of that Robin! :-)
At the time my company were running two FreeBSD based nameservers on
486s with
When the firmware installed correctly I found that SlimServer 6.5 could
not access my music. It looks like an old bug may have resurfaced. The
only account I seem to be able to run SlimServer on so that it has
permission to access my music files across the network (to a Windows
Home machine) is

SlimServer had died. I restarted it.
I was using the nightly I downloaded last night.
So far it appears to be running well, but this is on my main PC that

Sounds promising - let us know how you get on..

Thanks. Will do.
I need to delete the 6.5 database from my music server as I have
installed 6.5 on it and copied across the SlimServer Program Files from
my main machine (so I don't have to set up all the codecs, plugins and
config again).
Could you possible tell me where it is (on Windows)? I've
I think it is the same as on linux - in the Cache dir at the top level
of the server along with other caches. You should be able to delete
all of the content of Cache without impact.

6.5 has actually had a lot more tuning to improve performance, but it
possibly requires a bit more memory. I would recommend trying 6.5
rather than hunting for the cause of delays with 6.31.
It is nearing the end of development and so either wait a few more
weeks or try one of the nightly
Cheers Triode. I was nearly at this point anyway. I've installed it on
my main machine and will try it. I hope it will run on my underpowered
dedicated laptop but do not hold out much hope. Maybe it's time to
trash it.

I've been running the beta 6.5 for a while, and Triode and others have
made great strides at fixing the dropouts in my system.
One thing to point out. 6.5 includes additional features to reduce
dropouts on linux if they occur when you are viewing web pages. Pat is
running this and it may be an option for your laptop (if you are linux
litterate - its probably too big a step otherwise)

Cheers but I tried Linux. Panic, Panic cannot mount root. I tried your
(?) Slimserver CD. I couldn't get this to work either. I tried another
four versions of Linux... within the time I had to get it right I had
no joy.

I tried to get my Squeezebox to connect to my alternative 6.5 version
of SlimServer and the box froze at Press Right now to use SlimServer.
I've had to power off to recover.

Rebooted Squeezebox. Asks me to update firmware (why didn't it do this
first time around?... yes I know, it's beta). Did that and get some
message like bad state or something.
I can hear the owls outside now. It's probably a better bet to listen
to them for an hour or two. :-)

The owls have gone to bed.
Squeezebox is now pretty much dead.
I did, after rebooting three times get a request to update the firmware
again. I did this. And now, after going through the network connection
stuff again I get Connecting To SlimServer and then a black screen.
Can only reboot.
