Changing display size to large on slimp3 with RSS feed screensaver crashes SlimServer
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:52:50 UTC
Steps to repro: 1) Install 5.4.1 of SlimServer 2) Start up slimp3, making sure you're using the smaller text size 2) Enable RSS Feed plugin 3) Specify RSS Feed plugin as screensaver for slimp3 4) Wait for screensaver to kick in 5) Hit the "size" button on the remote to change to the large text size 6) Wait for scolling to start, slim.exe or slimsvc.exe will crash 7) Susequent restarts of slim.exe or slimsvc.exe via the Services control panel will result in instant crash: Perl interpreter failed at /PerlApp/Slim/Display/Display.pm line 73. I've verified that large text works (and scrolls) for the plain RSS feed reader with both large and small text. Everything also works with the RSS screensaver and small text. The bug only manifests itself with large text and the RSS screensaver. A reinstall of the slimserver software clears the problem. I have not found another way to clear the problem. Once it occurs, all susequent restarts of slim.exe or slimsvc.exe fail. Thanks for any help!
