FWIW, you can make the change on your local machine by modifying the file
strings.txt. Look for the entry for WELCOME_TO_SQUEEZEBOX and modify the English
string that follows it.

or even creating a files called slimserver-strings.txt which wouldnt' be
overwritten during upgrades.  it takes precedence over strings.txt for any
entries you want to alter.  Just copy the WELCOME_TO_SQUEEZEBOX (seems to be
WELCOME_TO_SLIMSERVER for the 5.4 pre-release) section, and change the text to
be how you want it.  this coudl probably be closed since this is already a
readily customisable option.

I can't seem to get this to work. I've created a 
file /usr/local/slimserver/slimserver-strings.txt and given it the same 
owner/permissions as strings.txt. I've restarted the daemon. No change :-(

My file contains:

WELCOME_TO_SQUEEZEBOX

I'm running Centos 3.1 (essentially RedHat Enterprise), and I'm on version 
5.3.1 of SlimServer.

Heeelllppppp!!!!!!

Many thanks, Jim

maybe its WELCOME_TO_SLIMSERVER in 5.3.1 as well, i can't rememeber.
also, it might be due to browser caching, or html caching on the part of the
server.  go into server settings, performance, and turn off html caching. 
refresh the browser and then you can turn it back on.  

I've tested the change to slimserver-strings.txt myself and it does work, so
keep trying.  it'll get there :)

any luck jim?

Nope, still can't get it to work. Most likely something I'm doing/not doing.

I'm running on Linux (CentOs 3.3, otherwise known as RHEL 3) and I'm now using 
version 5.4.0 of Squeeze. My strings.txt file is in /usr/local/slimserver, and 
so that is where I've created my slimserver-strings.txt file. The permissions 
on the two files are the same.

I notice that the /usr/local/slimserver/HTML/Default/index.html file contains:

<title>[% "WELCOME_TO_SQUEEZEBOX" | string %]</title>


I also notice that the /usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl file contains:

Slim::Utils::Strings::init(catdir($Bin,'strings.txt'), "EN");

but I can't find anywhere which references slimserver-strings.txt

So, I'm not realy sure where to look next, as I'm not familiar with the 
internals of the HTTP interface.


Jim

I definitely recommend updating to 5.4, that will likely make this easier.

for future reference: from Slim\Utils\Strings.pm in 6.x

sub stringsFiles {

	my @stringsFiles = qw(
		strings.txt
		.slimp3-strings.txt
		slimp3-strings.txt 
		.slimserver-strings.txt
		slimserver-strings.txt
		.custom-strings.txt
		custom-strings.txt
	);

	return @stringsFiles;
}

Tested a change of string using slimserver-strings.txt with 6.x and it works now.
