I thought I'd bottom out this problem and post my experiences on the forum so that it's there for anyone else. My 30 minute dropout is definitely caused by the "Keep Unswapped Interval" 'feature'.
On my piddly little server the reloading of the main page to keep the server process in main memory causes a 1-3 second dropout on the squeezebox 1 (wired). Setting the value really high for reloading just reduces the frequency of the dropout in music, but it then defeats the purpose (the process gets swapped out anyway). Setting it really low, just causes the dropout in music to happen really often (I was hoping it would just keep everything in main memory). Therefore my solution at the moment is to disable this reloading (set to 0). The only drawback is whenever I've not used the interface for a time, the process has been swapped out and there is a delay in menu response for a second. But I'd rather live with that, than gaps in the music. "Keep Unswapped interval If the server is unused for some time, the operating system puts it into swap space. This setting determines after how many minutes the server reloads its main page to keep the server process in main memory. Set to 0 to disable the reloading" -- sdevans ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sdevans's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17761 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
