The SB is connected via a wired connection. I was looking at the server activity and I noticed that on the Mac Mini (the Slim Server), I'm not receiving a sustained stream of incoming data from the file server.
When I look at the graph on the file server, I can see that it's transmitting data out not at a sustained bitrate but in pulses. The graph for the transmission data line peaks at 200KB/s or so and then plummets to 0KB/s for a second or so and then peaks back up. So if I stop the SB playing and I stream the exact same file from the server into iTunes on the Mac Mini, I get a sustained transfer speed from the server of 130KB/s - 145KB/s with no plummets below that. So it seems that when SlimServer (on the Mac Mini) requests a file, there are periodic dropouts from the server's transmission line but when iTunes (on the Mac Mini) requests the same file, there's a consistent data stream with no dropouts. So... is the problem the buffer in the SB1? That's very frustrating if that's the case since it's *supposed* to be capable of playing lossless files. I've had this problem since day 1 when I bought the SB1 new and nobody ever suggested that the SB could be the problem since there are so many other variables in the system. -- hualon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hualon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19087 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
