I have posted this on the linux forum, but no luck, so thought I'd try here.
I may be trying the impossible, but I really want it to work. I have installed linux/squeezecenter on a pendrive and am running it on a thin client hpt5720. Well almost! It works fine for radio etc but if i tried to play music - verrrrry weird things happen. Skips, jumps, plays other bits of songs in the middle of the one I am listening to - very disconcerting to have Bob Dylan burst into the middle of Aimee Mann even if only for a split second! 1. I have 2 of the original Slimp3s (which I love and are hard-wired into my LAN and built into the walls of a purpose build construction 2. Installed Linux Mint 6 because it had all the codecs - good I thought - and it was very easy - onto a 4GB pen drive following instructions from pendrivelinux.com 3. Installed squeezecenter 7.3.2 - 24612 4. Installed lame v 3.98 via apt-get 5. Set to DHCP 6. Music mounted from NAS drive via mount -t cifs ..... and it all seems to be fine. music scans in. I get the right number of albums etc. 7. HPT5720 is only for squeezecenter. It's an AMD Geode DX1500, 1.0GHz w 512 SDRAM and 512 Flas Ram with winXP embedded and is wired into the network 8. All the music (700+tracks) is MP3 - mixed bag of speeds/rates. Then I go to play it - and yuck! Again - and it's with every song. Not just one or two. Always. Except Internet radio which works just fine so at least I can get Radio Paradise ;) I set the player->audio->bitrate to 320 (with LAME noted as installed correctly) and Lame quality=9 I can't diagnose network or performance issues with the plugin because it doesn't work with SLIMP3s. So - any ideas? This is such a perfect set up I want it to work badddd.
