We may ( reluctantly ) forgive them for not being 100% slimp3 compatible 12 years later ;) or what , and I do think sync even if it's mostly working could be even better with more work especially if play continuously AND gapless, Ime it gyrates towards correctness if you let it be in most cases it gets unstable while fiddling with the playlist and stop and skip and stuff . More things that can break sync CPU intensive plugins like Sugarcube/MusicIP or one of erlands or some interaction between them. Sugarcube can easilly block the whole server 10-20 seconds when it's adding another track depending on setting this does not empty the buffer so playback is unharmed but sync will drift . Unstable hardware clocks on the machine running a soft player , this is not at all uncommon then it will drift all over the place (this can even cause alarm problems ). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96213 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
