Navigating albums in the web interface has always been very slow. Are you sure it's slowER than with an internal drive? On a moderately fast server, expect at least 3-5 seconds to load an album page in the gallery view with artist name display enabled. > But why would there be any activity on the extarnel HDD at all, when I'm > just browsing through albums (inkl. coverart) in the web interface and > nothing is playing?

SqueezeCenter is hitting the hard drive to see if any of the files have changed and is checking file timestamps against the timestamps in the database to see whether any of the files have changed. In the album view it's probably doing this for every track in every album displayed on the page. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55016 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
