Sadly this is not a "Tiny" Server only problem. It really is a problem for every one of us.
Try to shuffle a large playlist when you have an Squeezeplay device Touch or Radio as player. It's very very inefficient, my little via 1.2gHz based fanless server. can juggle 2000 - 4000 track playlist for my ip3k based players like boom or SB3. Just toggle the different shuffle modes. And tag along on my bug here: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16089 I'm on 7.6 which is beta, I would appreciate if someone with the official build could confirm. But still go into 100% cpu meltdown with 1/10 of it when playing on a Touch. Note that I have the web-UI open so it still relocates bunches of Thumb images for the browser interface. This goes back to. http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10889 which was filed in January 2009 So the Devs don't really see the problem for what it is. This has been known for 15 months now. If would also like to get some senior members interest in this topic, maybe it could get patched somehow if you have programming skills and can read the code (it is open source after all). I don't have programming skills at all so I can only report my findings. I can not give any constructive help to the developers, I think that would be greatly appreciated. I think my little cowon mp3 player handles shuffle without a problem ? So something is not thoroughly designed as it should. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe'Primare and Dynadio speakers (including a pair of Contour 4 ) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: SB3 + powered Fostex PM0.4 Miscellaneous use: Radio (with battery) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77386 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
