I'm using slimserver 6.3 and have also performance problems. My scan is
also very slow. It needs more than an hour to scan nearly 600 Albums

An extract of my logfile for 1 Album is shown at the end of this

You can see there, that it need 10 seconds for 12 somgs.
The log looks pretty standard to me, other than the time taken to

and rescans in about 12-15 minutes.

If its for squeezebox use, have you thought of the qnap ts101? Goes up

If you go for one make sure the version you get has slimserver
installed as you won't be able to add it yourself.

If you buy from certain sites such as the cooltopia one (which is the

There is no way that AlienBBC could be ported to SqueezeNetwork. The

AlienBBC is included by default with the TS-101. Other plugins need to
