Personally, I'm still on the fence on this one. Sure, for a client, ARM
is the way to go. But for a server, it's more difficult.

On x86, Atom is an option that's certainly on par or better
performance-wise than ARM. (Part of the reason is that most SBCs use
fairly outdated SoCs.) And even ultrabook processors (Haswell or
Broadwell microarchitecture) like the i3-4005U are interesting options.
You get massively more performance than with ARM. But their power
consumption is quite low. E.g., the aforementioned i3-4005U has 15 W TDP
but uses far less (more like 5 W) in real life.

And Broadwell reduces power consumption even more. So I'm really
contemplating putting my LMS on a Broadwell-based Intel NUC. They are
expected to become available by the end of February.

I prefer to put my data on a NAS, though. It gives me redundancy,
comfortable backup solutions, and a stable, secure platform that's
heavily optimized towards file storage and file server needs.

Re: [slim] what to use to run squeeze

2015-02-05 Thread Mnyb

My pow .

Use something x86 based ,use internal SATA drive one separate drive for
the OS ( not just its own partition ) other drives for the music . The
OS drive can be an SSD .

Use vortexbox or some linux OS on your own , preferably annOS wihtout
Desktop ( GUI ) a server OS . You will admin it trough web interfaces
and ssh anyway .

My HP Microserver is fast enough , today I would have opted for more RAM
as the later LMS 7.9 can take advantage of that .

So basically in my pow a dual core atom or better is sufficient as a
server .

And the good old x86 architecture has good FPU and supports most of the
helper ap's that LMS uses ,this will mean that you're guaranteed to be
able to use LMS fulll potential .

Maybe time has moved one and everything is aviable for the arm
architecture ?

Re: [slim] No sound from SB2 and SB Classic.

2015-02-05 Thread rmassey

This sounds like a basic networking issue. 

Agreed.  although it's specific to the Squeezebox. I can stream netflix
and pandora on other devices with no issues. 

my WHS shows no issues with DNS or DHCP. 

Is there a network tool I can run to dig deeper?
