Yes, 6.5 uses MySQL and not SQLite. MySQL 5.x isn't strictly required -- I think 4.1 will do. It's my understanding that 6.5 ships with MySQL, but for "unsupported" platforms (like PPC based NASs) you have to build your own. At a minimum I'm pretty sure you need to install some MySQL libraries, as per the post I referenced earlier.
I'll leave the "why" part to someone who knows better. It's supposed to improve performance, but I couldn't say specifically what. The scanning is split as a separate process from the streaming, so it's now possible for low-powered devices like HGs to play music without hiccups while scanning the music library. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27538 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
