I'm wondering if these are known bugs, and what information I need to look at to determine where the problem is, some help with troubleshooting this.
I love the whole Slim system, but it's not quite working well enough for me to be completely satisfied. The specific problem that most disrupts my enjoyment of the music is that especially in Random Songs mode, at the beginning of many but not all songs, I'll hear a few seconds, then there will be a few seconds of silence then the rest of the song will play fine. Also I note that the display has a delay in updating to the title of the current track of as long as 15 seconds, this on all songs. Some specifics about my sytem: Server is a Mac G4 400 MHz processor with 704 MB of RAM (Whether this 6 year old computer is too under-powered to Slimserve music and do anything else at the same time is one of my concerns) Mac OS 10.3.9 Slimserver v. 6.2.1 Sqeezebox 3, Firmware v. 28 Server has a wired connection to the wireless access point, and the Squeezebox is connecting wirelessly to the access point about 4 meters away. I live next to a large apartment building, so the WiFi environment is pretty congested, but none of them on the same WiFi channel as me. No encryption currently, though that may change soon. I play mostly flac but some mp3, shn, and ape files. My libray currently has about 19,000 songs, in various folders on various external drives with symbolic links in the music folder pointing to them. I don't really understand anything about interpreting the debugging data, or what particular data I should be looking at. I guess I'm mainly wondering if these are known bugs that have maybe been fixed in the beta versions, or how to determine whether the problem is in my CPU or my network or what. Thanks for any help. Folks on this forum have been really helpful in the past. -- bephillips The chaos on this planet is due to the music that musicians are playing that they are forced to play by some who just think of money and don't realize that music is a spiritual language, and it represents the people of Earth. When musicians are compelled to play anything, it goes straight to the throne of the Creator of the universe, and that is how He sees you: according to your music... It's what goes to the Creator as your personal ambassador - and your personal nemesis. -Sun Ra ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bephillips's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22792 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
