I'm running the Windows version of Softsqueeze (2.7). I had a persistent problem of it stopping playing somewhere around the third song of any given album. When I checked Task Manager it would report 90% or greater CPU utilization attributed to Softsqueeze. I seem to have fuxed the problem by simply increasing the audio buffer size from 128000 to 512000. Sotsqueeze hasn't stopped playing on me for several albums now, and CPU utilization is on average less than 5%. Does this sound like normal behavior? -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Softsqueeze 2.5
This border on the Windows version started at 2.5 iirc. There were Mac related border changes made which also affected Windows. Not just on the excession skin, but also the default skin. There is also a noticable paused at the midway point of a horizontal scroll and a glitch. It seems that during a horizontal scroll, a function call is made that results in a small "diamond" appearing on the screen before the scrolling continues. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I just saw you checked in a possible fix today, but seems to be source - will there be a binary to test? Yes, I managed to recreate the problem on Ubuntu running on vmware. I still don't understand why it works differently for you on XP. It is imho the same issue on all platforms I tested.

Re: [slim] Re: Softsqueeze 2.5
So here's the screenshot from SlimCD. The border problem is the same on Windows (or even worse: it's a lighter grey than on Linux). I still cannot recreate this one. Shouldn't be that hard: download those 100MB from http://www.herger.net/SlimCD and run it on your PC (or in VMWare) :-) Can you double check the version of Softsqueeze that's running. What version of Java are you using (mines 1.5.0_06)? Have you tweaked the settings on your Windows desktop at all? On Windows it's Java 1.5.0_05. Tweaks? Can't think of it (except moving it around and server connection). I'll try to get rid of those settings. SlimCD is on 8278 & 8370, Java 1.5.0-b64 (whatever this is...), today's (07-11) build. There shoulnd't be any settings preset. ...and just to be sure: freshly installed Suse 10.1, Java 1.5.0_07, yesterday's 6.3.1 build - same problem.

Version 2.7 works fine for me on a Mac OS X Powerbook 10.4.6. The scrolling between screens is still a bit jerky (compared to version 2.3) but it is improved from 2.4 and 2.5 and cosmetic only.

On Windows, Softsqueeze 2.6 now has a white 3D border around both the player and on-screen remote windows. The border flashes when you click any key. Looks weird.
