OK, I did some endurance testing today and it took me hours - which is what I had hoped it would ;-) It looks like it pays off, that Apple does not provide for “real” streaming, but only for file playback - the tracks get transferred to the Phone or Touch in a few seconds and then there’s no more communication needed. So here’s the result: Test setup: * iPod touch (8GB) with FW 2.0 and iPeng 0.5.2 * Auto-Lock switched to “off”, so the screen will stay on and the Touch will play continuously * Volume set to 50% (so this is more a “realistic scenario” as an “how long can it get if you max it out” * Brightness:50% and Auto “ON” * Test-Playlist: Mixed music tracks * Test process: Browse to playlist. Load playlist. Browse to Playback plugin. Start playback. Let it run. PLAYBACK TIME: 5H 12MIN! Now I feel that’s a good result. I had expected something like four hours, so more than five is quite good. And much better than the two hours of browsing I get on the device. So: Happy "streaming"! BTW: If anybody wants to test this on the Phone or the 3G... -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49821 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
