Sure; but in a situation when both players are wired and only mp3 is streaming? It's not actually a pure sync problem. The synchronization is pretty solid once it's established, but it sometimes hesitates when it starts, then often stops between tracks. I can usually get it going again by skipping backwards and forwards between tracks, but I shouldn't need to. After living with this for months and spending some time trying to interpret the masses of debugging output (which to me looks like a project abandoned partway through due to lack of interest), I decided to replace my lovely precious SliMP3s with some other Squeezeboxen.

Re: [slim] Shouldn't we have an UE Radio forum?
I'm glad someone's brought this up. IMO, we should refuse to have anything to do with the UE stuff on the Squeezebox forum. Let's see how well Logitech cope with supporting their users without additional resources from the community. Maybe just for a while, in the hope that we might get some firmer commitment from them to LMS -- see who blinks first. Because if it carries on like this somebody's going to fork.

I'm something of an obsessive performance geek when I get the time. I've
tried ZFS in the NAS, adding SSDs to the ZFS, using 15K "enterprise"
disks with a caching controller; using an SSD in the LMS box, an
additional jumbo-framed SAN, and running LMS on CPUs way too powerful.
Amongst other things. All a waste of time and money.
With dbhighmem enabled, what made the biggest difference to performance
for me is this:
push @{$sql}, 'PRAGMA cache_size = 200';
in Utils/SQLiteHelper.pm.
FFS. :)

Re: [slim] Blocking Incoming Connections...
Your ISP is assigning a random address. At both ends. Without some third party to keep track of these addresses, neither end of your setup knows which address to use to get to the other. Dynamic DNS solves these problems to some extent. Check if your DSL routers have the ability to register with a Dynamic DNS provider. You might be able to get hold of some little utility to do this from your PC, but it's the other end which really needs it. I'm not sure why you think SSH can help. Surely it would have the same problem, not knowing the addresses, as SBS has? Probably, though, the worst that could happen is that someone who knows what you're up to could get access to your SBS and loudly play you Merzbow's greatest hits. -- pallfreeman Always look before you leap.
