Re: [slim] Re: Performance measurements ?
Second pass: [55.391] titles 0 1 Third pass: [66.390] titles 0 1 With a 20% variance, we can see that the testing methodology and environment is very rough. And, with Niek running a P4/2.8 getting [24.201] titles 0 1 and Bill running a P4/3 getting an average of [60.114] titles 0 1 There's an almost 2.5x difference in times running on hardware where hardware specs alone would account roughly for only 10% difference. Hopefully nobody will look at these data points and attempt to draw unwarranted conclusions. Agreed. There are too many variables in the way machines are set up to readily compare output numbers. CPU and RAM are by no means the only variables here. OS, procs running, procs priority, intermediate network (if test prog is run over a network) etc. But bottom line still is that it takes that reported amount of time for the SlimServer to cough up the data requested (assuming the CLI uses comparable ways in getting the data). If Bill is getting 2.5 times worse performance in the same tests as I get, I would assume his setup performs about that factor worse than mine when serving a SqueezeBox. The proggy does nothing fancy (I'll post the source in a minute on my site), it just times the start and end of the CLI command. I have not been very inventive in the queries I posed in my sample input file. It could be that my example commands are somehow not representable for gauging performance. Someone with a better understanding of what actually are reasonable queries could maybe give a few. It's just a matter of editing the input file to test other CLI commands.

Re: [slim] Performance measurements ?
You'll have to open port 9090 on the server's firewall Windows firewall is disabled. I am running Sygate Personal Firewall, which lists port 9090 as allowed for perl.exe. I can connect via telnet to localhost 9090, but as soon as I type anything and press return, I get a disconnect with no output. This is the reason sstime will not work either. It does exactly that. If you cannot get a manual telnet to 9090 to work, the test program will fail as well. Niek. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Re: Performance measurements ?
Yeah, you really need to be careful about methodology here. If you want to select typical things and get typical response times, you probably need to carefully think out the typical things people do at the user interface and mimic them in the CLI and run them on many different configurations. I doubt many people list the top thousand songs when they're at the remote. If you want to benchmark the code to do before and after studies of code improvements, you need to have one typical machine, benchmark it accurately AND THEN FREEZE IT AND DON'T CHANGE IT. That almost means dedicate it to the benchmarking task and making it a reference system, because you never know when installing Microsoft Office 2007 (heaven help us) or IE 17.2 won't change the way I/O works or how much background activity there is cluttering up the disk. Note that I did not intend this to be a benchmark tool. In a lot of posts on this list people said the performance of their install was insert your favourite speed indication here, which was a very subjective indication. This program simply times a request to the CLI. It should give some idea about what a user would see if using a real SqueezeBox (assuming we use a reasonable set of CLI queries, which I probably don't). There are even some of us desparately switching OSes and tweaking stuff on the same machine and discussing whether ActiveState is faster than compiled Windows or CygWin or whatever. This tool then is able to give _some_ numbers. Again, you cannot compare them 1 on 1 to other installs, but IMHO if one install does someting in 20 seconds, and another one in just 2, there is going to be the same user experience when connecting and using a SqueezeBox.

Quoting marc1966 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Thx James for your hint! But is it a problem for Slimdevices to give us users this information? There is no problem as the information has been out there for a long time. The only limit for some is that it gets tiring saying try 6.2 nightlies all of the time (for both sides). The parser re-write was VERY early in the 6.2 changes (probably mentioned in the dev forum in several places) and was not part of 6.1.2 becuase it was so experimental. By the time it stabilised, 6.2 was nearing the release cycle. There is a LOT of work remaining on 6.2 to clear up the targetted bugs in time, so hopefully you can forgive a bit of percieved silence. Slim Devices builds both a stable and developers build evey day. This means that changes like this become old very fast for those who update daily.

This is functionally equivalent to the Squeezebox, but with the higher resolution graphical display upgrade. I'll put it on Craigslist and/or Ebay within a few days, but thought I'd check with the community here first! The unit is in excellent/mint condition (the factory film is still on the remote, I'm strange that way), and includes the original remote control, the original VFD display (from prior to the graphical display upgrade) in the extremely unlikely event of some future failure with the current display, and RCA cables. I'm asking $140. I believe this is fair; there is an available unit on Ebay at $112 with 3 days remaining, and one sold for $160 two days ago. I don't believe either of those units had the graphical display upgrade, which is a significant improvement over the original Squeezebox display. I would prefer to deal with someone local to the Seattle, WA area. You're more than welcome to contact me if you're outside that area, but I'll give preference to someone who can pick it up locally. I'd be happy to answer questions if you have any (off-list, of course)!

Wow, that's s weird because my wife did the same thing...listened to a bunch of Kelly Clarkson and made it on to my weekly top 10...luckily though, my last.fm account tells me that You don't have any friends, so there's no one to make fun of me... Also, my 1 year old daughter's favorite song, by FAR, is Beck's Que Onde Guero. I have no issue whatsoever with this being listed as my favorite track...my daughter has better taste. Audioscrobbler rules. I'm not sure anyone mentioned it, but another nice aspect of it is that it can catalog music played on multiple players, even (gasp) non-squeezeboxen... #!/ben -- bklaas ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Performance measurements ?
It's not perl.exe which is accessing port 9090, but sstime.exe. Put the firewall in learning mode (or disable it entirely to be sure). perl.exe is listening on port 9090. The firewall always prompts when new applications attempt to send packets on the network. However, as the IP address is local, so I guess I don't see any prompts. I can connect via telnet to localhost 9090, but as soon as I type anything and press return, I get a disconnect with no output. I'd really say this is the firewall blocking access to this port. No, it's not. I found the problem - I have configured a Username/Password for accessing SlimServer. I removed the security setting and the sstime exe worked.

[slim] Re: Scan Speed Adjustment ?
Well... I've honestly =never= encountered any media playing devices that didn't ramp up scanning (or volume level) on key hold. How about this if it's possible: keep the existing behaviour for rapid key presses, but ramp up on key hold. The best of both worlds, non? I'm more than happy to remove my request, however, if the majority of Squeezers ike it the way it is. How abut a poll? -- Yannzola ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Multi Disc Sets
Very simple problem Takashi... My albums are named as in Example 2:- 2 CDs both named Buddha Bar IV, with Disc# tag set to 1 or 2 as appropriate for the tracks. And at the moment they play in the wrong order, track1 CD1, track1 CD2, track2 CD1, track2 CD2 etc. (And I do not want to have to go through my entire library re-numbering the track numbers of the second CD in multi disc sets!) nick -- NickM ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Naxos radio
I am also a Naxos Radio subscriber (www.naxosradio.com). I think the issue is how you get the URL and password in; it's not an audiophile issue. I haven't figured it out, but I am hoping someone will. Naxos has around 30 channels of classical music for $10 a year. I have listened to it on my computer for a long time (and have bought a lot of Naxos CDs) but I'd like to get the sound coming out through my stereo speakers. Naxos also will charge you a nominal fee that allows you to listen to complete tracks of any CD in their catalog (there are thousands). But I have never figured out how to listen to program more than one track. Naxos CDs go for around $7 each and are of very high quality: I am hoping this is the way the record business is going to go in the future. They aren't really doing a lot for online music, but at least they aren't hostile to it. -- wprestong ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
