A few suggestions: I wonder if some flaky playlists might be the problem. I had serious slowdowns, but when I pointed the playlist folder to an empty directory, everything sped up considerably. I have since rebuilt the playlists which contained invalid pointers.
Also, you might try dropping back to an earlier version of Slimserver. 5.4.1 was a stable release that worked very well for me. It could be that the 6.x code is not optimized yet, especially for a collection that large. One more thing to try would be to point slimserver to a subsection of your collection. Give it a library of 1000 tracks and see what happens. It might be that your collection is so large, it is overwhelming either the hardware or the software. But if the response is still slow with a small library, then the size of the library probably isn't the issue. If all else fails, you might just need a dedicated server with a fast CPU, plenty of RAM, and IDE or SATA drives. 50k FLACs is a large collection. It might be worth the investment to overspec the hardware just to be sure. -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25166 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
