It sounds like the buffer simply emptied while the server was busy updating the artwork, but that is just a guess. If I were writing a producer/ consumer application, I would suspend updating the artwork when a "buffer=half empty flag" was set, and resume updating only after the buffer refilled. This presumes the SC folks aren't just talking to the box in an open loop fashion, which would be pretty sloppy. 15 seconds worth of song ~ buffer size for uncompressed material, so if it takes >15 seconds to update 50 artwork thumbnails and you are running at a high bit rate...
>From the spec. Buffer size = 25Mb (approx. 200 seconds at 128Kbps) compresessed, plus 28Mb (10 seconds at 44.1 samples/sec) uncompressed http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?HardwareComparison -- icdsgnr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ icdsgnr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14283 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41058 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
