Title: Media Server between 11.0 and 11.1 systems.
Post by: lalittle on December 02, 2005, 03:47:48 pm

If I'm using Media Server, do both systems need to have 11.1 installed for Media Server to work correctly, or can one system be 11.0 and the other 11.1?  I was thinking about trying 11.1 on one or the other of my systems, but I'd rather not change them both until I know that 11.1 works well for my needs.  Can I try this, or do BOTH systems need to be 11.1 for MS to work?

Thanks,

Larry

In order to use Media Server, both versions should be the same.

I can't remember if I've made any protocol changes in 11.1, so it may happen to work running 11.1 and 11.0, but don't count on it (and even if it does now, it'll stop at some point in the future).

I guess the question is how close is 11.1 to finished?  I realize that this is a subjective question, but if I have to change BOTH systems in order to really test it, I'd rather wait until it's pretty stable.  Are there still a lot of things to work out with 11.1, or is it at the point where you'd recommend giving it a shot (like you guys did with 9.1 while it was still beta.)

Thanks for any advice on this,

Larry
