Since my last post, iHomeserver has received a few new features worth mentioning. If you have not done so already, download the trial and give it a shot.

Bug fixes: log file rotation, increased buffers between client and server; icon change on iTunes playlist view; some consoles might timeout their connection with the iHomeServer server – if this happens users will not get updates happening unless they press refresh – this behaviour has been fixed

Bug fixes: duplicate files could appear during long copy operations from non-Windows clients, eg iMac or UNIX servers; this has been fixed; Watch Folder can refresh whilst user is editing the name of a track – fixed;
