So maybe I've been mislead down the wrong path with this network test issue? Yes, I was periodically getting stutters/poor performance on FLAC playback. I'd do a network test and voila it would be showing bad values, even on 1000-3000... People suggested wireless was the issue (the SB is 12ft away from the router through a single wall), and when I once had bad performance I carefully check my network and could see no issues. No other networks, and the signal was as per normal. So I've been using this test to detect issues! And trying to deduce when/what is causing it. And voila I happened to start looking to see if slimserver itself was the issue and if something else on the PC was giving it problems... Hence me finding the thing with certain web pages... Now I of course cannot guarentee my previous problems were caused by what I have discovered... Or if indeed I've simply found something odd that has absolutely NOTHING to do with my actual problem... If those web pages are conflicting with the network test, how is that different to if slimserver is dishing out a FLAC file (1000kbps) to the SB instead of the networks test (3000-5000kbps)? ie: Why can't those webpages still produce problems with standard playback? -- NeilF shuttle sn45g, athlon 3200+, 512mb, xp pro (sp2), squeeze box 3 slimserver version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - windows xp - en - cp1252, perl version: 5.8.8 mswin32-x86-multi-thread, mysql version: 5.0.22-community-nt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NeilF's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13059 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38571 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
