SB2 has a very large buffer, so the music can continue to play after server shutdown, until the buffer is exhausted. You'll see no screen updates, because that's controlled via the server. Remember that contstant network activity I mentioned, even duing native WMA playback?
I believe what has changed is that the newer firmware has reduced the load on the server in general. Windows is finding very little activity, and therefore goes into its sleep countdown. It is commonly acccepted that users should not enable automatic sleep/hibernate when using their systems as servers. Keeping the web connection open and auto refreshing on the server does keep the server alive. But as you noted, the server will never shutdown. Perhaps herein lies hints to the solution for you. With KDFs Execute.pm plugin, you could configure it to open the web browser to keep the server alive, and use it again to close the web browser when you turn on your SB2. Alternatively, you could use a utility to change your power profile in the same fashion as above; you'd select your Never Off profile when playing music, and revert to your previous power profile when done. -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17891 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
