[SlimDevices: Touch] Possible solution for stuttering FLAC 24/96
Hi! I started encountering more and more dropouts (rebuffering every minute or so) during FLAC playback, while FLAC playback used to be perfect. Ejecting my HD, connecting it to a PC and defragmenting and 'deep optimising' using Auslogics Disk Defragmenter completely fixed my problem. Perhaps it also works for you if this problem is nagging you?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Blanking display.

I'm just in a couple of days use of my new Touch and I'm kinda missing a
great feature the SB3 had. Actually this great feature was provided by a
plugin called Auto Dim Display. This plugin obviously doesn't work for
the Touch and Radio due to their different OS.
I like to darken the display completely between a certain time period
(night time). In the morning the display comes to live again. Is there
any similar applet or patch for the Touch?
Do you just want it to be black or do you want it to be darker ?
There is at least:
- Screen Switcher applet which allows to you configure different screen
savers for different time of the day
- Custom Clock which allows you to design your own clock screen saver,
for example one with a darker color of the text.
Both are commercial, so you will also need License Manager applet and a
license for them, but you can apply for a free 30 day license through
License Manager plugin in SBS to evaluate if it works as you like.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch with USB drive : mastering TinySB
Mnyb;676538 Wrote: Are they using the most effective programming methods to utilize this hardware ? It's a tradeoff, over-optimising the software is not always the best strategy. I actually think they are using the most effective programming methods for the SqueezeBox product line. If you have enough engineering resources and time, sure, you can code everything in assembly language on the bare metal and be able to fit everything into ridiculously low CPU and memory footprint. However, in the real world, you want to ship in a short amount of time (time to market) with limited software resources (development team, testing team). So, you use a lot of existing software packages (Linux, Samba...) and program in a high level language (Perl, Python), both using more hardware resources (CPU, memory, network). Depending on the expected volume and price point, you will put the cursor at a different point. If your volume is very high, you can afford more engineering (large software development team) and therefore reduce the hardware cost. If your volume is lower, you want to contain the engineering cost and have to accept a higher hardware cost. At the end of the day, your widget cost depend on the hardware cost (BOM), engineering cost and support/return cost. And your sale price depend on the perceived customer value (supported features). You need to strike the right balance between all those parameters, and can't optimise a single parameter without understanding the impact on the other parameters. And you also have to remember that the cost of many hardware components goes down over the lifetime of the product (CPU, memory for example), and you have to take that into your calculations. This is the reason why Logitech has been able to reduce the price point from $300 at launch to around $230 today. Actually, I believe that Logitech is taking some risks in the long term in letting the price point on the Touch erodes. Another example of this tradeoff : for 7.6.0, it looks like Logitech optimised a bit too much the release/testing engineering ;-) Jean -- jean2 jean2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33946 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82070 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

And the final hardware beta testing was finished a bit before that
since the mass production had to start so the units were ready to be
shipped mid-2009.
And on top of this, the work to make the built-in server run on the
Touch had barely been started at that time, so I'm not sure Logitech
really knew how much memory it would require after the optimization.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Software updates
nickinthelakes;676834 Wrote: But when I switch (on the Touch screen) to mySqueezebox.com it goes straight to 'a new update is available' screen. How can I stop this please? You can't, because the player firmware version must match the server software version. So if you are running an old SBS and switch to MySB it will prompt you to update, and if you switch back to your local server it will probably prompt you again to revert to the old firmware. I don't know what happens if you reject the update, the player may or may not work with a mismatched firmware depending on the changes that have been made. Just as an idea, would it be possible to use the Touch's built-in server instead of connecting to MySB even if there is no USB drive attached? -- usch usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92296 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

New features aren't important, but better stable existing user experience is more important!!!
