To place demand on the server you could set it up to transode from something like OGG (takes slightly more CPU to decode than MP3) and then send it out as MP3 with some insane quality presets. That should stretch your server.
What is your server hardware? Are you using all this wired or wire less? How many SBs are we talking here? a completely wired network with hardware less than three years old and a single SB is going to cope with anything you can throw at it. Increase the number of SBs significantly, use old hardware and switch to wireless and you will very easily start to come across problems. Some of with will be easy enough to get round, others not so (wireless especially when you have a noisy signal area) -- funkstar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20825 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
