Have you noticed any speed improvements with the nightly? I recently upgraded my home-made NAS box from 6.2.2 on FC1 to 6.3 on FC5 and the performance has gotten horrible (and I haven't tried a rescan with SQLite yet). Guess I shouldn't have upgraded both at once as I'm not sure which is to blam

Hi, A tip for fellow Fedora Core 5 users out there. I recently upgraded to v6.3 and lost the ability to scan for new songs. The web interface would say "scanning.." but nothing was happening. After a lot of reading and searching with no clear advice for FC5, I decided to give a nightly build a

Not sure I understand why your slimserver needs it's own VM, but as long as it works for you :) Search the forums for a lot of discussion on Rhapsody. It's the RealNetworks DRM music service. Support was recently added to the new 6.3 release as well as the 6.5 nightlys. One of the big disadvan

No, Slimp3 doesn't do FLAC. Only SB2/3 do. You could try uncommenting the "ogg wav" section and see if that helps, I would guess the slimp3 could do wav's. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.

No, there is no "ogg ogg" line for a reason: the sb doesnt support native ogg decoding. But if you have FLAC installed on the server it will, out of the box, convert OGG to FLAC. Since FLAC is lossless, this is good -- no additional artifacts from compression. The OGG to FLAC conversion should

Unless you have a slimp3 or sb1 (or are severely bandwidth limited), you shouldn't be converting ogg to mp3: slimserver will (with and SB2/SB3/Softsqueeze, unless you've turned on bandwidth limits) convert to FLAC to send it. ogg->mp3 would lead to twice the compression artifacts, which would sou
