I have tried the latest LMS build. M4a seeking works fine with small m4a audio files (~30MB, seeking just a couple of seconds), ok with medium sized audio files and not at all with larger files.
30 MB - seeking just takes a couple of seconds, playback ok 140 MB - seeking takes longer but playback and server still ok 216 MB - seeking takes more than a minute but playback and server still ok 319 MB - seeking times out and stops track server still ok 414 MB - seeking stops eventually, track is stopped, player looses connection to LMS (LMS uses >90% CPU time), needs to be manually reconnected then recovers 511 MB - seeking does not formally stop, track does not play (but is shown as still playing), player temporarely looses connection to LMS (LMS uses >90% CPU time) but reconnects automatically 612 MB - seeking stops eventually (after ~8min.), track is stopped, player looses connection to LMS (LMS uses >90% CPU time) but reconnects automatically 689 MB - previous track needed to be stopped manually and an internet stream to be selected in order to play this one. seeking stops eventually (after ~8min.), track is not stopped but is shown as still playing (CPU load back to a normal level from >90%), reconnected automatically, 877 MB - previous track needed to be stopped manually and a internet stream to be selected in order to play this one. seeking stops eventually (after ~12min.), track is stopped (CPU load back to a normal level from >92%), reconnected automatically, Seekings issues aside I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised how robust 7.9 turned out to be (ok I would not ordinarily wait 10+ min. but still ...). The ui seems much faster, too. It also cooperates nicely with MacOS X which was still running smoothly. :) Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 - 1399474655 @ Wed May 7 21:01:21 PDT 2014 Hostname: xxxxx Server IP Address: xxxxxxx Server HTTP Port Number: 9000 Operating system: OS X 10.9.x - EN - utf8 Platform Architecture: x86_64 Perl Version: 5.16.2 - darwin-thread-multi-2level Audio::Scan: 0.94 Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1) Total Players Recognized: 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ copperstate's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34756 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101248 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
