No, general memory use isn't 4x greater, but it's not hard for certain operations to run it up to that point. And the overall memory footprint may fall back after some time. I'm sure that's somewhat dependant on the Perl implementation and OS. > > > performance is several times slower than 7.6 before onebrowser. > > One person mentioned this without giving any further information.

Still, it's troubling, and I'd expect it to cause a lot of problems in the long run. All in all, I'm beginning to seriously doubt the benefits of onebrowser. From a user perspective, the idea of a consistent experience in each of the different user interfaces is certainly attractive, but at what cost? The choice of solution for the web interface seems to be a step backward in several areas. But the thing that I just can't help wondering is: Why were all the many bugs with Squeezeplay never addressed until now? For a while we had the mythical "new schema" that was conveniently tossed out to solve all problems. And then "onebrowser". How did SqueezePlay ever get to be so broken, and why did nobody ever honestly try to fix the consistency issues until now? To me it seems like this great code simplificaton is just going to cause a lot of different problems, and incur a great deal of interface inflexibility that should not be there. There must be a better solution. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85895 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Hopefully this might also open up some possibilities for simpler third party browsing plugins instead of advanced solutions like the current Custom Browse plugin. So even if Logitech doesn't implement all the browsing alternatives we like to have, the "onebrowser" implementation offers a lot better support to add new browse menus and replace existing browse menus and make them available in all interfaces with correct look and feel.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Lms?
Is the idea to keep the current principle where LMS just scans the disc for images/video and drops the database in-between full rescans or are you also on longer terms thinking about adding more library management functionality where you can manage the library similar to what WMP, iTunes and similar applications offers ? I'm just asking since for images things like being able to tag photos and structure them is very important functionality for me personally in a media server. For video, library management functionality might be a little bit less important but I'm still interested in functionality like IMDb integration to get more information about about a video but maybe that's already handled on the Revue on the client side ? I'm guessing the plan maybe is to just do something simple to at least make it possible to use LMS together with Revue, I'm just asking these questions to make you guys think one step ahead. On longer terms a media server without any library management functionality feels a bit complicated since it means that you need to use at least two other external applications, one to tag and manage photos and another to tag and manage videos, besides the already existing need to have the same for audio files. -- erland Erland Isaksson ('My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info)) (Developer of 'many plugins/applets' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/User:Erland).

I tend to agree, although I still worry about losing functionality for older players that isn't in newer players. i.e. onebrowser offering support for the lowest common denominator, and the lossed functionality never getting put back. But if memory consumption and performance are drastically affected by the change, it sounds like a non-starter. Sounds like something is wrong though, as one might expect memory consumption to be lower if all interfaces share the same back-end implementation.
