Hi,
I've recently updated my server to the latest 7.0 build (details below)
and I now have
- blinking/stuttering display on soft squeeze
- slow, almost unresponsive to remote control squeezebox
- both players seem incapable of playing any sound, at least from the
server, although I did get some clicking from the softsqueeze, which
might have been bits of music
- (minor) all Pandora settings lost (maybe normal at update?)

I'd originally thought that this was because the scanner was maxing the
server CPU, but I've waited until the scan was complete (install was
yesterday evening) and I get the same symptoms.

The server is a low power 900Mhz Via C3 with 768M memory. It's running
Win2K Server (all patches, etc.) and is also used as a file server and
email server (not Exchange but a simple SMTP/POP3 "Macallan Mail
Solution", which pipes through SpamAssassin).

I have SqueezeCenter set to run as a service - the server's, well, a
server, and typically nobody's logged into it. I'd created a separate
user, with permissions to the music and cache folders, but have re-set
the service to run as me (admin privs) just to make sure access wasn't
the issue.
I have no additional plugins, and have disabled a good many of those.
I have set server priority to be -3 (slightly above normal) and scanner
priority to 3 (slightly below  normal). My music library is almost all
flac and mp3 (maybe 1% ape)
Total Albums: 2,512
Total Tracks: 33,748
The albums are in several different folders, with shortcuts to those
folders in the main music folder.

I have a remote desktop connection to this server, and have been using
Task Manager to see how loaded the CPU is. It does hit 100% every
minute or so (spamassassin), but otherwise stays in the 1% - 6% range -
but I still get the above symptoms.

I had been using this setup (same server and players) with the current
6.x and a 7.x build from 2008-01-02 with no problems (other than the
web interface being sluggish and the scan taking a long time, due
AFAICT to MySQL being  memory-bound.


Here are some system details, on the off chance that they might help.
Is there anything else I should be including?
SqueezeCenter Version: 7.0 - 16093 - Windows 2000 - EN - cp1252
Server IP address: 172.16.51.14
Perl Version: 5.8.8 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt
Platform Architecture: 586
Total Players Recognized: 2
Model: Squeezebox v3
Firmware: 84
Model: softsqueeze
Firmware: 2

...and Thanks! for any suggestions that might help.
Bob
