So the desktop icon runs "slimtray.exe --start"

I don't know if there is any work planned for slimtray for the 7.0 release, but I think the correct solution to this bug may be to have slimtray respond to that by launching the web browser.

Error message

I also see this with the SlimServer start menu icon and the Quick Launch icon and is easily reproduced with the nightly.

Dean, can this be addressed before 6.5.2?

Perhaps we could change the wording of the error message to something more meaningful if it cannot be fixed before 6.5.2?

I think the actual problem here is causing slimtray to run with --start while it is already running and the server is also running.  Will try and trap this case.

Please try 11944 or later.  Note that on Vista this won't work if the SlimTray which is already running is running as admin [if started by installer or started manually as admin] and desktop icon is run as a user.

This is greatly improved in todays nightly if not fixed outright. Thanks!

I still get this error message if I do the following:
While SlimServer is running, select stop SlimServer form SlimTray.
Once selected, double click desktop icon.
Notice error message.
This only seems to happen until SlimServer has completely stopped.

Do we have the ability to change the wording of the error message to something more meaningful if it cannot be removed completely?

I also noticed if one selects to View Getting Started.html during install, SlimSever will open in the same browser window moments later without giving the user a chance to read the document. Maybe this should be its own bug.

Ping

If we were to change the wording of this error message, does anyone have a suggestion of how it should read? 

Same browser window - not sure we can do anything about this other than not open a browser window from SlimTray at install.  I note that with Firefox on Vista it always opens in a new tab.

Do we want to take opening the browser window out?

Doesn't look like I can reliably check server state and give two forms of error message (one for currently stopping try again later and one for there is definately a problem).  So I suggest we tone down the text in the current strings.

One suggestion might be:  "Opening Slimserver failed.  This can happen while the server is still starting or shutting down.  Wait a moment and try again.  If it continues to fail, contact support at support@slimdevices.com"

Going with text proposed by Dean: "SlimServer would not open. SlimServer may be starting or stopping. Please wait a minute and try again."

new string was change 12021, needs localising. Join in michael.  We need to offset all of these @slimdevices addys, anyway :)

The string's been sent to the translators some 12 hours ago ;-)

The remaining bug (that we need a friendlier string) is no longer 'major'.

Still waiting for the translations - I wonder if the translators are aware of Eric's vacation.

other languages will have to wait for 6.5.3.

Did we ever get this string back?

I didn't...

Mickey says he'll check with them.

Moving 6.5.3 target bugs to 6.5.4.

Ping Mickey

Hey, we still don't have updated translations... Punt post 7.0 for next localization update. I will remove the outdated localizations once 7.0 is released.

change 18247 - translation update for SqueezeTray

This bug has recently been fixed in the latest release of SqueezeCenter 7.0.1

Please try that version, if you still see the error, then reopen this bug.
