It's a bit lengthy but feel like I have to vent having read through part of this thread. I'm a new Duet owner. I run SC 7.2 of a old PII 700Hz laptop which although old, has been able to do a lot chores for me, running emule, torrent and some other media server app SIMULTANEOUSLY. Now I only run SqueezeCenter on it and connect it to router via ethernet. But the performance is horrible and the Duet is very non-responsive. Is the hardware to week to run SC? Music can play well for half-a-day and then it quit and I have to fiddle with it for hours before it would work again. Turns out it was trying to carry out my command but wasn't able to keep up. SC 7.2 feels so bloated that it runs so slow. Hope I don't have to dedicate my Centrino 1.8 GHz laptop to just run SC. This is a consumer product and it seems that Logitech/SD provided help is lacking. Product info and documentation is really lacking. I cannot imagine other electronics I have that I have to rely on user forum for info. and help. I'm in the end-user application development. I can't image how bad my users would scream if my product has so little official documentation and they have to rely on user forum. Logitech/SD - Please provide a more efficient version of SC that users can simply install relatively low power hardware and even NAS (e.g. Linkstation Live 500 I have always on that is capable of running PCast, supports UPnP and FTP and running other server apps). I already have a media computer connected to my theater. If I have to run a high power PC to run SC responsively, I might as well please my music from the PC directly. I had high hopes before I bought the Duet and I am getting quite frustrated. I just want my entertainment gear to run and don't want to spend time into hacking it. I would do that if I have to with my computers(Windows and Linux alike) but not a piece of consumer electronic with which my wife hopes to just fire up and enjoy music. -- catbb67 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ catbb67's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19759 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43198 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
