My server is more or less dedicated, as is basically just a fileserver. Having said that, there is one other app which is constantly running - "Folding At Home". (Kind of similar to "Seti At Home" or whatever). As a result, my CPU is permanently at 100% usage. Even then though, I can't think of any problem I've ever had with SS running as a service. Any problems I've encountered have, as far as I can tell, always been related to interference.
The server is not a particularly high spec - it's a Celeron 1.4GHz with 512MB RAM. Most of the hardware was cobbled together out of spares, in fact. I've never had any concerns about SS - I've never found it to be flaky... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of keithleng Sent: 21 September 2005 12:36 To: [email protected] Subject: [slim] Re: Okay, maybe it's time to call it a day... The truth of the matter is that the squeezebox software is, and always has been, very flakey. It is largely written by enthusiastic amateurs, and it shows. I bought my first one a couple of years ago, ran into all sorts of problems and stopped using it. I recently decided to give it another try and bought a Squeezebox 2. I'm in a different city, using a different ISP, computer, router, and operating system from when I had the first SB. And I'm still getting lots of problems. If you can give it a dedicated system, with nothing else running, and no competition for bandwidth, it now seems mostly okay. If you can't give it that level of resource, then, in my experience, you're going to have constant, recurrent hassle. -- keithleng _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
