Any ideas, anyone?

I manually added several names to the SlimServer list of recognized cover art files, and seems all my art shows up in all modes. Haven't played with the latest much though, since I've been playing music mostly with my M1000 instead of SlimRoku, and of course the M1000 doesn't support cover art at all.

BTW, in the 1.6b version history, you have "Added status display to Now Playing info", I have been w/o SlimRoku for so long, I can't put my finger on it (i'm just a curoius person), what does this mean?

The progress bar now shows "Paused", "Stopped", and "Buffering" when the audio isn't playing. Nothing major...

Matt, any update on bug 4473 ? I was going to try using a server with Vista and would prefer to not disable WMC

Barry,
Not yet, perhaps we can get more people invloved to expidite things? Have you seen the bug thread?
It's getting old to have to turn off WMC each time I want to use SS/SlimRoku.
BTW, if you have another windows PC running WMC on a different PC then the one running SS on the same LAN seems to work just fine. I was burning in a PC that I built for my parents for x-mas and I was runn three different WMC sessions and they all played nice with SS that was running on my PC.
Thanks for asking, Matt

Anyone tried this version of SlimRoku with SlimServer 6.5.1 that just came out? I had to upgrade my SlimServer to 6.5.1 in order for it to work with the new SoundBridge firmware.

6.5.1 has been out a few weeks. I've been running it with SlimRoku just fine since I finally got SlimRoku working and streaming. I love it!

I did follow the thread on turning off upnp and tried all the suggestions as well as everything I could think of. Never could get the two to cohabitate. Found it interesting that I could not even set wmc to manual start(and not starting it) to work, had to set the service to disabled (in Vista)

i run 6.5.1 w/out slimroku issues.

i need to figure out a handheld way to control SlimServer. Then my cheaper version of Sonos would be complete!

Barry, Was this the post on Roku's site or the SlimServer bug forum?
Here is hte link the bug473, if you could add your comments there too, it may speed things up. You may have to make a Bugzilla account first, but it's easy and harmless.
Thanks again for the help, Matt

Any chance of adding AlienBBC to the radio station list in Slim Roku?

For that matter, I'd like to have Live365 added as well since we are making requests here!

Great program Endless. The program works so much better than Sonica, thanks.

Is there any support for logging into a SlimServer than has passwords enabled?

I believe so. Check the SlimRoku forums on Endless's site. I think you can set it up that way.

Nope, nothing that I can see there.

In the meantime, I disabled passwords, but used the IP address filters to only allow logins from my own network or my work IP block...

I looked through the readmes and came to the same conclusion as you. Seems like it shouldn't be too difficult for Steve to add...

This has been discussed before. It'd actually be quite a bit of work to add support for a password, as it would require logging in for every connection to the server (SlimProto, CLI, XML, etc), which touches the code in a lot of places.
