Re: [slim] Running SC on $100 Linux Wall Wart
I hear you. But the server doesn't have to be on 24/7 as long as (a) it supports WOL and (b) it supports ACPI suspend or hibernate. The SrvrPowerCtrl plugin is great for automatically suspending the server when all SBs are inactive for a user-specified period of time. If you like it will even switch them over to SqueezeNetwork before suspending the server. Given the interest in the Sheevaplug you could probably resell it without taking too big a hit. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60617 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Yep - the initial scan took about 24 hours which wasn't bad at all compared to my previous efforts on Windows and CentOS platforms. Those scans took roughly the same time. It's not a small collection. I started playing with it an hour after the scan completed (cleanly).

Re: [slim] Running SC on $100 Linux Wall Wart
My SheevaPlug just doesn't have the horsepower. I have a 8GB kingston USB stick attached (512MB was not enough BTW). Partitioned the stick 7GB OS + 1GB swap. Installed Debian per directions and then installed SheevaPlug version of SqueezeCenter. The system comes up cleanly but it is not particularly responsive. I do have a large music collection but even some radio stations can no longer play. Running top against the SheevaPlug it is pretty apparent that the poor beast is maxed out. I can't believe how much MySQL activity is occuring, even at idle - what is all that for? I confirmed the MySQL continually spikes against my existing CentOS SqueezeServer installation as well. All-in-all, a great effort on Squeeze's behalf but it falls just short of usable (iPeng makes it usable because it caches the artist DB - your webapp is far from usable here).

In short, I don't know. I think the 7.4 or 7.5 release is supposed to replace MySql with something less resource intensive. Back when the then slimserver moved to MySql it was because the lighter package couldn't do some of the cool things that were needed. But all active software gets better, so these days, its believed that the lighter package (I think SqLite) can handle the needs and not take so much memory, CPU, etc. I don't know when it is scheduled to be released. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Yeah - it's great to see the active development for platforms like the SheevaPlug and I'm going to persevere because I'd dearly like to retire my CentOS server but I right now it doesn't look promising. I'll be keen to update with the next release(s). BTW, if any SlimServer developers are watching this thread, the radio station that has become unresponsive is KUOW Seattle - I verified that the streams are still available on my CentOS-based SlimServer so it's either a lack of horsepower on the plug or SlimServer 7.3.3 has a bug. -- benmac benmac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60617 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I've been interested in a NAS for my Transporter and Squeezebox/Duet environment for quite awhile (two different audio systems) to reduce the footprint and complexity of managing files and making things a bit simpler. However it appears that previous NAS boxes were simply too slow and costly. The Shivaplug appears to fit the bill on both performance and cost. Do you feel that this platform will do the job? And, for a Linux newbie, will it be reasonably simple to install Squeezecenter and get it running properly? I'm game but concerned at this point.

All one needs is a laptop and SB3, inverter, and an In-Dash Head Unit that takes a pre-amp or Aux In. Or try the other solution I am using in our Thunderbird, which is a Mac Mini with a Duet. Don't need the sound card, softsqueeze, or all the other hardware parts. Of course most of this depends on what ones starting point is and if one has a Head Unit what can accept a line level input. I was trying to avoid using a laptop since I wanted a small controller. I looked at the duet, but then I would still need a separate receiver and storage; I thought I could combine the two and also have more functionality with the ipod vs the duet controller. I previously was using a dell axim along with an asus WL-HDD, but the software on the axim was lacking, and I was getting interference. I like having all my music available in the car (used to use an empeg) and I was looking at better alternatives.

On ARM, Slimserver 6.3 was first ported to Linksys NSLU2 with 133Mhz (later 266Mhz) and 32MB RAM. Most latest generation NAS use a Marvell ARM chipset typically around 400-500MHz but RAM is usually 128 or 256 Mbytes. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60617 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Running SC on $100 Linux Wall Wart
There are a lot of variation in ARM processors. For audio decoding/encoding the ones with a FPU (floating point unit) are the best. The core in the Wall Wart doesn't look like it has a FPU so transcoding may not be realistic. Without an FPU, if the decoding/encoding apps does not have a fixed point implementation, realtime encoding/decoding is not possible. As an example, to get AlienBBC to work (i.e. mplayer decode RealAudio) on NAS such as DS-106, it was necessary to patch in a fixed point implementation of RealAudio decode. FlipFlip's SSODS includes mplayer but core and library differences make it necessary to have 4 versions of mplayer all for ARM processors -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60617 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Running SC on $100 Linux Wall Wart
For PCH / NMT it might worth checking out optware - a sort of compatibility layer which has been ported to many different NASs ( http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Platforms ) - unlike a distro it doesn't change base firmware. Once ported then it will be able to install and run many different packages. Optware has many apps packaged in the ipkg format including SqueezeCenter. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60617 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
