Completely stuck after 7.0 upgrade

[SlimPvC]

Tonight I upgraded to the 'stable' v. 7.0 (from 6.5.4).
Wish I hadn't.
After installing squeezenetwork I cannot view the squeezecenter on my PC at all. I only get 'page cannot be viewed' error messages. Cannot do anything with the server.
Tried uninstalling and reverting with system restore. Now 6.5.4 also doe not work. *sigh*
I was used to flawless updates. This is quite different.
Since I see no other messages like this, I guess it's just my bad luck.

What do you mean when you say "installing squeezenetwork"? SqueezeNetwork is a server on the web not an app.

Sorry you're right. I meant SqueezeCenter of course.

I tried downgrading by restoring a backup. But now the player won't connect, because after the firmware update it is looking for squeezecenter, which it can't find.
How can I downgrade the firmware to the 6.5.4 version (81)?

Did you remember to "retrain" any antivirus or firewall products?

Ie, they may be set to allow a process called 'slimserver.exe' but not be so friendly to something called 'squeezecenter.exe' (or whatever they are named on Windows...)

Once your player connects to SlimServer 6.5.4 you should get prompted with the "hold brightness" message to update the firmware. Having a newer firmware should not stop the player from connecting to the older SlimServer. Are you on Windows? Did you get any error messages when installing SqueezeCenter?

Yes - ZoneAlarm always asks if new programs should be trusted.

Yes, it's Windows XP. I did not get any error messages when installing, only after configuring the app (preferred format etc.) it was not able to reconnect.

I managed to downgrade now by doing a factory reset op the player and a restore on the server. I'm back on 6.5.4 now. Won't touch 7.0 for a while I'm afraid, stable as it may be.

Thanks for your help and advice,

Peter

That's interesting. Once you feel up to trying again, it'd be worth having a look at some logs from SqueezeCenter. Maybe some preference changes caused a problem.

I tried again tonight, mainly because I see no complaints on this forum like mine.
Completely uninstalled 6.5.4 and reinstalled 7.0 from scratch.

The result: immediately after installing, the page (http://127.0.0.1:9000) does not load. Not a thing I can do. What log do you want me to check? I cannot even select debug options.

Even if I'm the only one with these problems, this is a big disappointment for me. I've been praising and advertising slimdevices for their flawless upgrades for five years. But now I'm completely stuck.

How long have you waited after starting SC7?
Sometimes SC7 (Windows) takes awhile before the UI will load correctly.
Do you have a large library?
