after spending half the day researching this forum, the bugzilla database and the forum over at qnap.com and not finding anything conclusive, i give up and post my own thread now.
first, my symptoms: -> on the odd occasion i _can_ get my players synced, it holds for anywhere between 5 to 50 minutes, then breaks -> usually, sync just slowly drifts apart. if i let it run, it will usually drift apart by about 2-3 seconds after about 30 minutes or so -> i can aggravate it by loading a new playlist while synched. my playlists are large, ~1000 tracks. that breaks sync almost immediately. -> a song transition (i have crossfade active) also seems to provoke the issue -> once broken, the only way i have found to re-sync is to cold-boot one or both players and/or restart SC. -> after an SC restart, sync seems to work for a while before the problems start over. -> the situation seems to be deteriorating continuously. currently, it is almost impossible for me to acheive any reasonable synching at all. -> the problem seems to be independent of the load on my qnap's processor now, my environment: Version: 7.3.2 - 24695 @ Mon Jan 19 18:36:25 PST 2009 Hostname: Turbonas Server IP Address: 192.168.0.102 Server HTTP Port Number: 9001 Operating system: Linux - EN - iso-8859-1 Platform Architecture: armv5tejl-linux Perl Version: 5.8.8 - armv5tejl-linux-thread-multi MySQL Version: 5.0.27 Total Players Recognized: 2 -> both players are SB3/classics, both run FW 123 -> running on a qnap turbonas 409, FW 2.1.4 Build 0318T, with SSTOS 3.15. -> my library is about 50% vorbis (native), 45% mp3 (native) and 5% AAC (transcoded) -> my playlists are typically ~500-1000 tracks long, but the problem also occurs with shorter playlists ~40 tracks. -> control is exclusively done by the remote control -> my qnap is configured to update its system clock every hour by ntp. i have verified this actually works. -> my players are connected by wifi. the network test comes through up to 4000 kbit @ 100% for at least 10 minutes. does anyone have any suggestions for me? please keep in mind that i only have rudimentary linux knowledge... thanks VERY much in advance! -- dcote ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dcote's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65870 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
