Beware a bit here, all transcoding uses a lot of processing power, not something that is abundant in a NAS ?
Does one of these qnap's have a real x86 processor especially important is FPU unit. I'm doing this transcoding on Linux server built around an 1.2ghz Mini itx board (epia ) and i can do this transcoding to one player not two. I run the OS on an SSD drive ( wonder what the IO speed is such a thing ? ) one transcoded stream eat s approx 70% of my cpu (SOX process) and SC works good controller is responsive and web ui works. I think some of higher end Thecus NAS has similar spec as my server. A key element in a good NAS/low power server implementation is to use only SB native formats and avoid unnecessary processing. -- Mnyb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57429 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
