I think I was mistaken. Looks like the New Streaming may be the culprit here, after all. I just hooked up the same SB2 to an SC 7.2 server, and using bitrate limiting (again, Flac to Mp3 at 256 kbps) it fills the buffer to 100% in a matter of seconds. I see similar CPU percentages for LAME (under 5%) with this server and it has no problem keeping the buffer filled to 100%.
I also saw similar poor performance at work today using a Squeezeslave client, where I was consistently getting dropouts at 256 kbps when connected to SC 7.3. Attaching that same Squeezeslave client to the SC 7.2 server, it was easily able to stream at 320 kbps. This is the same sort of thing I saw during the Boom beta using the New Streaming branch. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51990 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
