Thanks for your explanation, just for completeness I put all the players input buffers to the minimum (eg when I stop the streaming player on the server I get 0,5 sec audio on the client player while when I stop slimserver's stream I get 6-8 seconds of the big SS buffer)... The only 32K values I found were in web/http.pm file: use constant MAXCHUNKSIZE => 32768; if you give it a low value (eg 128) then it affects the playing but not the buffering wich should be related to Networking/Stream.pm my $BUFFER_SIZE = 131072 ## this means the buffer is 128k but... I found an interesting thing: if I give stream.pm another name then the sreaming works just the same!!
Regaridng softsqueeze I gave it another try but the sync is not reliable. I updated all the clients with lastest java software and whenever I change a track I get either a desync play or even I get a double stream on some clients but... another very interesting thing is this: when you kill the server process (either slimserver.pl or slim.exe) the clients keep playing!!! Hence Slimstream does not stream mp3 files! It just streams the synchronization and the commands to the player to get the proper files! This sounds good, as without managing the buffers correctly you can never have a perfect sync but there sill might be some synching problems with softsqueeze (I'll give SB a try too as soon as possible...). Well if anybody has any idea on why stream.pm is not read by slimserver and any idea on how to change the 128k streaming buffer please let me know, I'd really appreciate :-D -- Virgus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virgus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23623 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
