It looks like you're doing OK. The aim is to capture relevant data ideally from just before a connection is made and then stop just after you hear a 5-9 secs drop out on a Squeezebox. For intermittent problem I usually stop a recording session if the problem doesn't show within a few minutes and start again so that the capture file is not huge.
I'm nor sure about the windows version but I normally use the "prepare" option so that i can press easily "start" just before I start Slimserver playing the station. Since Ethereal captures everything on the selected network interface - this include confidential data - I shut down all unnecessary apps and services (in Windows MS has a lot of things which use the network in the background). The default Ethereal setup has a packet size limit so that only about 68 bytes of the packet header are saved. I ran a test on a 32kbit/sec WMA station and it saved about 60kbytes for 2 mins - as a result of proxy playing to a SB, the traffic will be doubled. This data also compresses quite well so depending on the size it may be necessary to mail the file. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33800 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
