Hi, I own three squeezeboxes and also use softsqueeze on my wife's computer. I recently asked her why she never plays music in her office. I was disappointed when she told me that Softsqueeze made her computer crawl to a stop!
I checked it out and she's right. It is a windows xp box and after playing for about 30 seconds, softsqueeze.exe eats up 98 - 99% of the CPU time, making the whole machine very slow. In fact, after I clicked the "power" button in Softsqueeze (turning off the music, but leaving the application running) it continued to eat 99% of the CPU. I am currently running Softsqueeze 2.011b (on Windows XP). The slimserver is also an XP box, running 6.1.1 - 3774 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252. I haven't upgraded to the latest slimserver, as you can see, because the server has been very stable and the hardware squeezeboxes work great. For me, stability and reliability are the most important. I want to make sure my family can rely on the Slim/Squeeze system. Any advice? Should I upgrade my Softsqueeze and/or Slimserver to eliminate this problem? What version combination would you recommend? thanks, Brett -- BBobley ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BBobley's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1338 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22847 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
