Upgrade slimserver

[caiman]

I would like to upgrade to the latest stable version of slimserver (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/?DebianPackage).

Is it ok to do so, or would this break the pluto-slimserver-plugin ?

I tried that and it didn't work. There is some special integration that needs to be revised. Add it to the bug list to prod them to work on it.

I've done this on a pluto system ages ago. You need to manualy extract the packaged filesinto the correct dir.
Not near any machines at the moment, but when i am i'll check which paths it need.
Failing that you can edit the sh file that launches the slimserver and point it to the correct path.

Hi sp00nhead

Could you please provide more details on the paths required etc to use the latest version of slimserver.

Thanks a lot.

Actually, there is not reason to upgrade SlimServer. Because LinuxMCE supports only its basic features such play, stop, etc. Personally, I'd like to upgrade just to have special skin for Nokia770/N800 in the SlimServer web interface.

Same for me, what I want is the N800 skin...

I just upgraded the Slimserver to the latest stable version and its working. The notes are at the end of this thread http://forum.linuxmce.com/index.php?topic=1726.0
There is info for using the Nokia 770 with LMCE and with Slimserver. I would use the LMCE version just to have the extended control but you may want to use it differently. The upgrade is not really tested and may not work. I just pasted it in and was suprised I could "fix' the problems without totally breaking everything.
