Hi folks. It seems that somebody is following my DIY-Audio thread. ;)
Just to let you now: I introduced chapter 1.9 on my blog. I'm talking about Network Optimizations and different networking implementations on different operating systems. ( We touched upon that earlier) Networking/Streaming is a very high prioritized task - for obvious reasons - on the the Touch. The ones that managed to understand the logic behind my mods will easily understand, that such a load might have an impact on the device. What's going on: 1. First the ethernet needs to be managed on it's own from the Touch side. There are numerous parameters optimizing TCP/IP traffic. By default most of them are not properly set. ( You can learn a lot if you follow the online gamer crowd tactics btw.) 2. The server needs to step on it's brakes all the time, otherwise the Touch would be flooded. 3. And 3rd the streaming buffer needs to be continuously refilled causing a continuous load on the machine/scheduler. (It seems that inefficiencies have been realized be Logitech too. They seem to have optimized traffic handling in 7.6.) Trying this just takes 5 minutes. Just a little configuration work to do on the server side. Enjoy. -- soundcheck ::: ' Touch Toolbox 2.0' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/2011/01/soundchecks-squeezebox-touch-toolbox-20.html) ::: by soundcheck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
