Mostly it waits on its socket for an incomming command, and when you are not sending it commands, its doing nothing. We are talking Linux/Unix here, not some other OS that is popular but has idiotic memory management. I run my SqeezeCenter/Slimserver/SqueezeBoxServer on an ancient PC that is in my basement. It doesn't get touched for weeks at a time. My daughter gave up on it as being "too slow" something like five years ago. I run backup versions of DHCP and DNS for my house, and samba to share files with the Windows machines in the house. But mostly I ignore it. For me, the hassle of doing anything to the box overwhelms my desire to forget that its there. I had an earlier one, that I forgot so long that the CPU fans filled with fur balls and stopped, which burning out the CPUs. Otherwise, I'd probably still be running on that last century P3-700 or maybe it was a P3-500. Who can remember. I think the current SqueezeBoxServer was some sort of mid-one-plus GHZ AMD, whatever was fairly cheap six years ago There are folks running SqueezeBoxServer on shiva plugs, and fan-less VIA cpus that are under a gigahertz. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

If there is nothing calling the MySql daemon, it doesn't do anything, and as soon as its doing that, it can be swapped out. It ends up not doing anything, not taking memory, no real CPU cycles. Just let it run and you can play music anytime you want, no waiting. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Squeezeboxserver Stop Start
Thanks for the tips.. That worked.. sudo /etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver stop sudo /etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver start Now I will write a shell script to Stop and Start Squeezeboxserver, mysql and any other servers that it may have installed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] spawned mplayer process running as root
The root issue doesn't happen with Ubuntu or SuSe installations so I
think it may be specific to your system, your distribution or how
mplayer has been installed.
My system is slackware 12, stock kernel; mplayer has no set uid/gid
flags.
If it works on other Linux distros then I guess it must be down to
different compilation options the distros use for the kernels.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to look through the slimserver code
in detail, but on slackware setting the real uid & gid solves the
problem, as per the patch below.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 7.4 and non-ascii id3v2.3 tags
In case anyone else is affected by this, basically you need to stop using the id3v2 tool and switch to eyeD3 with these options if you want to keep using id3v2.3 tags: --to-v2.3 --set-encoding=utf16-LE This seems to give good compatibility with all the various software players and hardware gadgets that I was able to test. -- jth jth's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69473 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 7.4 SqueezeSlave and Linux
I just tried it with squeezeboxserver-7.4.1-0.1.28825. Exactly the same thing happens SBS becomes unresponsive when I switch from streaming to playing a FLAC.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 7.4 SqueezeSlave and Linux
Yes, but it's SBS that is crashing not SqueezeSalve. The web user interface becomes completely unresponsive until the SBS service is restarted.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 7.4 SqueezeSlave and Linux
So, If I am understanding the situation. SqueezeboxServer 7.4 is causing issues with a recently compiled SqueezeSlave 9.84 for Fedora kernel 2.6. - SqueezeSlave can't switch streams (Flac to Internet radio etc) without hangs or crashes. Running SqueezeSlave 9.84 on the same machine against the old 7.3 SqueezeCenter does not demonstrate the same hangs or crashes of SqueezeSlave. To reiterate, SqueezeSlave 9.84 has problems with 7.4, that did not exist with 7.3. Perhaps 7.41 will ameliorate this?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 7.4 on FreeBSD 7.2
The audio/squeezeboxserver port currently in the ports tree is ( at the moment ) just a copy of the audio/squeezecenter port. It will be updated to version 7.4.0 soon. I will post a message when it is. You don't need to uninstall the squeezecenter port ( both squeezecenter and squeezeboxserver can be installed at the same time ) but you have to stop squeezecenter before installing squeezeboxserver. All your preferences ( for the server and your plugins ) wiil be copied from the squeezecenter installation. After installation of squeezeboxserver you must change the line squeezecenter_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf to squeezeboxserver_enable="YES" and start squeezeboxserver When you are feel you don't need the fallback option to squeezecenter anymore you can uninstall squeezecenter. -- HansS HansS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22792 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68968 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
