Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:12:53 UTC
Sys Info: Dell, Optiplex GX620, XP SP2 ENU Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a clean ghost of XP SP2 ENU, install the official release build of SlimServer 6.5.1. 2. Install today's 7.0a1 over it. (Today is 2007-08-22.) 3. SlimServer would not auto start. 4. Reboot PC. SlimServer would not auto start. 5. Type slim.exe --logfile SlimStartLog.txt. Here is the message: 2007-08-22 10:26:02.7783 ERROR: Undefined subroutine &Slim::Schema::Album::preferences called at D:\Program Files\SlimServer\server/Slim/Schema/Album.pm line 11.

that first error would seem to imply that Slim::Utils::Prefs hasn't been loaded, or possibly not replaced by the new version which exports the preferences() function. soes 'slim.exe --d_startup' show anything in regard to problems with loading modules?
Reghosted the system and tried the same steps several times. So far, unable to reproduce the problem.
If anyone else sees this bug, please give us any info you think might be useful in trying to reproduce it. Thanks!
Haven't heard of any issues for a while.
