Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] problems with SS 6.3.0, can I go back to 6.5.2?

I think I understand... You have a LinuxMint OS and somehow got the SS 6.3.0. Did you add the Slimserver repositories that snarlydwarf mentioned? Or did you install from the official Ubuntu repositories? Ubuntu official is usually a different version than that available from deb http://debian.

Sorry if I have made a mistake on versions, which is older or newer. The one I have installed on Ubuntu is 6.5.2, and it works. That is the one I would like to get installed in LinuxMint (which now shows 6.3.0 installed). I do not know if I could have made a mistake in which link I pasted, an

Thanks for the instructions. Do you have any idea how I can get the older version to install? All I have done in the past is copy and paste the url from the SS download page to third party repositories in synaptic, and synaptic has done the rest. Thanks for the help. -- mgh -

Don't worry about linux as most of the issues about formats and decoders are slimserver related and independent of OS. The main problem is that some decoders are only available for Intel/x86 processors. The WMA lossless files can only be decoded using Microsoft libraries which are only availabl

Moving backwards with version numbers will undoubtedly wreak havoc on your box. A simple 'apt-get remove...' is pretty non-destructive and it leaves files and folders such as config files which will most likely confuse older versions. Try to remove them as root in a terminal, i.e.: [EMAIL PROTE

The handling of custom-convert.conf varies according to slimserver version. Are you running 6.5.x or 6.3.x ? Do you still want to persist since mplayer will not play wma lossless file on a DS-107 ? -- bpa bpa's Profile: h

My custom-convert.conf file looks like this now. But won´t play the .ape files either. Am I doing it wrong when I make the adjustments in the custom-convert.conf file ? Do I have to add more lines etc. ? # AlienBBC - windows version # Default for mplayer pre7 or later (note: -bandwidth 10

Josh Coalson is right - mplayer links into a Microsoft Windows DMO DLL library file to play WMA lossless on Windows and Linux x86 systems. Mplayer cannot play WMA lossless on non x86 Linux systems such as DS-107, Linkstation etc. For the record - you can put the suggested WMA entries into a cust
