Ok all of these are currently using quite high bandwidth on your wireless
network.
If you install lame and enable bitrate limiting [Player Settings - Audio - Bitrate Limiting] then the server compresses the stream
into mp3 so it needs less bandwidth from the network connection. This does
Have you tried flac encoded files ? Could I suggest you rip a CD to flac and try this. The reason is that the server computer does
much less work sending a stream to the client than converting it and then sending it. The data we looked at before with the
performance monitoring plugin is for
looking at the buffer fill chart) We really need to know if this
works without dropouts.

This suggests the server response time is fine. Just to confirm what you are
looking at,
This says that during the period it was monitoring, the server response time (time between trying to service each player) only
exceeded 5 seconds twice. Normally it is less than 5 milliseconds [65+27% of

Adrian,
The first set of data I posted was just after I
Are you running any plugins?
I would check the performance at the server end while the dropouts occur
- it could be a burst of CPU usage from SlimServer itself rather than
any other process.
Not being a mac user I have no idea how you do this though...

Are you using 6.2? If so can I suggest you look at the Network and Server Health web page - accessed from the Help section of the
main page.
Once performance monitoring is turned on, it monitors the performance of the server and network connection in the background. Play
some music to allow
