# Threshold the output buffer for high sample-rate flac.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24bits/96hz is stuttering like crazy
The problem is not memory but CPU usage. There is no swap space, so if you run out of memory things would be killed and you'd more than likely have a forced reboot.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NTFS Support Needed for Touch
The spec for TinySC is basically must be able to play music from an attached USB/SD device. Beyond that we're making it up as we go along. Normally we wouldn't even be discussing this in public but this is a special case due to the advance announcement. In the old Slim days we worked more closely with tech support but under Logitech it's become quite different. So I have no idea who that support person is and he probably has almost no info about the Touch yet, I don't think they have started training yet, certainly not on an unfinished feature like TinySC. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70142 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NTFS Support Needed for Touch
Sigh, HFS is out, I just disabled it a few minutes ago. OSX is my primary development system so there's no hatred for Mac here (although HFS is a somewhat boneheaded filesystem, case-insensitive, and does stupid things with Unicode). As I said before, there is no good Linux driver. In other news, as of r8091 NTFS should now auto-mount properly. :) -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70142 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NTFS Support Needed for Touch
JJZolx;484334 Wrote: Any chance of seeing the return of fully incremental scanning? You'd have to do some kind of wrapup at the end of scanning each folder (operating on the assumption that folders are roughly equivalent to albums). After each folder, do an album wrapup, including finding artwork and compilation determination. It would make the library much more usable as each album is scanned. With a minimal amount of logic, this could also be optimized. For instance, if you've just found and cataloged a new album, there's no need to run the cleanups of stale data. Overall, scanning would take a little longer because you're executing some extra queries at the end of each folder (or even track, if you want to get that incremental), so maybe it would need to be a scanning option. You just described basically how the new scanner operates. :) In fact, each *track* is handled individually, under the assumption that you can change just a single track and everything should just work, i.e. the album-level attributes can be updated, artwork changed, etc. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70142 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

TinySC is configured to scan the entire drive, you can edit /etc/squeezecenter/prefs/server.prefs and change the audiodir pref if you want. I would recommend running the scanner like this to see how it's doing and what kind of scan performance you're getting. /usr/squeezecenter/scanner.pl --wipe --rescan --progress --nostatistics -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70142 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NTFS Support Needed for Touch
r8028 of the firmware has ntfs-3g added. Until we work out how to add this to udev for automount, you will have to manually mount your devices like this: # mkdir /media/sda1 # ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 Let me know how it works out. I was able to scan a test directory of 4 albums on an NTFS USB stick and write the SBS database to it just fine. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70142 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
