I think I was mistaken. Looks like the New Streaming may be the culprit here, after all. I just hooked up the same SB2 to an SC 7.2 server, and using bitrate limiting (again, Flac to Mp3 at 256 kbps) it fills the buffer to 100% in a matter of seconds. I see similar CPU percentages for LAME (und

I would guess that the CPU difference is because SC is reading data at a slower rate, but it should not be reading slower than necessary to fill the buffer. We will have to get QA to reproduce this I think. -- andyg andyg

Hadn't actually tried that. I see the 50% CPU when I run my flac to mp3 transcoding script. So I got as close as possible to the SC 7.3 conversion command. Code: "C:\Program Files\FLAC\flac.exe" -dcs "E:\flac\Allman Brothers\Eat a Peach\04 Mountain Jam.flac" | "C:\

Err, what I meant to say was FLAC -> LAME :) -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51990 __

Anyone want to take a stab at what's going on? I'd never paid attention to the buffer fullness before, since I almost never experience dropouts, but I figured that the buffer was kept filled to capacity and that with a near 100% wireless signal that it would be quite easy for the server to keep i

I'm playing around with Mp3 transcoding and streaming and I'm displaying buffer fullness on a couple of my player displays. I have an SB2 sitting next to a Boom in my office, both of them connected wirelessly, about four feet from my wireless access point. They each get wireless signals in the 9
