For the server side case, the server code contains some protections - it won't send a scrolling frame if there is congestion on the slimproto connection for instance. SB1 will lock up if you send too much slimproto traffic, SB2 and above are better. For this case, I can't really see a problem other than setting the update frequency below the ability of the timer to service it on the player. I don't know if this will be down to timer resolution or the cpu load. BTW - sending lots of display update frames used to be the way the network test plugin worked... This goes to much higher rates than is useful for scrolling. -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83238 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
