Bugzilla – Bug 1068
Visualizers avialable for setting on SB1 even though they aren't supported.

I get the following error on Debian Linux: Can't locate object method "sendFrame" via package "Slim::Player::SLIMP3" at /home/guest/SlimServer _v2005-03-08/Plugins/Visualizer.pm line 249. Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /home/guest/SlimServer_v2005-03-08/Slim/Utils/Timers.pm line 147 during global destruction. Then the server crashes (killing all processes) This occurs when I choose a Visualization Plugin that will not work for me slimp3 for a screensaver. (I know this is not correct to do, but the web interface cheerfully lets me do it.) Presumably the bugfix is to prevent the web interface from proposing inappropriate plugins for the device. Either that or more gracefully handling the situation) For Reference I am running a Slimp3 with firmware 2.3 using the following Linux config: Linux 2.6.11 #1 Wed Mar 2 22:37:11 CET 2005 i686 GNU/Linux $ perl --version This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i386-linux-thread-multi Copyright 1987-2004, Larry Wall
I believe this crash should be fixed already in the nightly builds. Can you try that, and let us know?
SlimServer_v2005-03-13 nightly build fixes the crash, sometimes pops up a screen on the player saying the mode is only supported on Squeeze2. (I say sometimes, it did this on the first click, never thereafter) The end user confusion remains however, the web interface shows that the graphical mode is selected, but in reality, it isn't. Maybe some simple verbage of explaination would be enough. I reloaded the page and it still indicates the visualization mode is selected. I confirm that the server crash no longer occurs, which certainly lowers the bug's priority.
We'll fix this in the next release.
is this still an issue?
