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.
