[slim] Re: Hiccuping of signal
What OS are you using? What version of SlimServer? What file types are you playing? What type of server do you have, and how is the processor load when this is going on? -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22648 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Hiccuping of signal
Sorry for the scant information. I'm using Mac OSX.4.5 (dual 1.8 G5 with 1.5GB RAM)) I don't know the version of SlimServer (I assume the latest because I downloaded it 3 days ago) I'm mostly listening to AIFF files but also AAC files on the local drive (I don't notice a difference in performance between the two file formats.) I don't understand the server/processor question. What is the server (I thought it was the SB3)? How do I determine the processor load? I'm running on an AirPort wireless network. Thanks for helping out the neophyte.

You can observe the CPU used by vartious processes from Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder). There are some issues, I think, with refreshing the Web browser. It sometimes takes over the system for just long enough to cause hiccups. You don't, after all, have to use the browser at all, you can do most things from the Squeezebox using the remote. Even if this doesn't suit your normal way of using the SB, I think you should try it to see if there are still hiccups or not, as that will help in diagnosis. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22648 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The Mac is the server, the SB3 is the client. I was just looking for hardware details, which you provided. Stuttering on web page load is an indication of insufficient resources, but your server definitely doesn't seem underpowered to me. Then again, I know nothing about Macs. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22648 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Certainly the server is not underpowered. But you did say you were running on an Airport network. If you mean Airport and not Airport Extreme, that is only 892.11b which is a little slow for aiff files. However, as you said it works the second time you try, I think my earlier suggestion is likely to be more relevant. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22648 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Today I haven't had any troubles with it. I will try to use the remote. I'll have to get accustomed to the remote after all this time controlling music via keyboard. Thanks for suggestions, I'll let you know how things go.
