@MusicManiac 1) Check your wifi ap/router. In the worst case it will need about 180 KB/s bandwidth. Make sure the latency between your squeezeserver and touchpad is low otherwise it will take a lot time to buffer. 2) Flac decoding is not CPU intensive which is in the design spec. If you could playback ogg files then its safe to assume the same CPU is powerful enough to decode FLAC files. If you want you can try BFQ I/O scheduler (you need to install govnah and uber kernel from preware). 3) Check the CPU usage with top inside touchpad. You should be expecting more than 30% id (idle) in average when squeezeslave is running. For your reference I installed uber kernel with max frequency set to 1.5G Hz and have turned the cpu frequency governor to preformance (therefore can have a more consistent performance) the CPU usage of squeezeslave measures around 7% when playing back mp3. Therefore I don't think CPU is the bottleneck here when running at 1.2G HZ. -- s7mx1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ s7mx1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47093 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83362 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
