Thought I'd add another 6.5 nightly success story to the pile..
I was fixin' to whine about some 6.3.1 performance issues and instead decided to see how much things have improved with 6.5.. So I tried a 6.5 nightly this week on my gentoo sytem. Initially I had a heck of a time getting the YAML::Syck stuff to work. I merged new versions of those packages but it didn't really help. It kept barfing when parsing config files. I finally found this thread (for the second time - first time got me interested) and using Bin/build-perl-modules.pl made all the difference.. So far things are running smooth with no real new issues. It kinda looks like a number of nagging performance issues seem better (woot!). CPU consumption while playing flacs seems much improved (not that it was ever an issue at only about 2% in the past). Time will tell but looking pretty good!

I tried a 6.5 nightly out last night on my SuSE 10 box. The last time I had attempted to run with the local modules and had some problems with YAML::Syck -- this time, I just ran the Bin/build-perl-modules.pl and renamed my /etc/slimserver.conf. I didn't upgrade firmware on any of my real players or install any plugins, but I did use Softsqueeze and do a little stress testing. The system load is lower and the performance is markedly better than 6.3.1. Fishbone works great and has lots of little usability improvements; I like the gallery mode quite a lot. Nice work, folks! I'll probably switch my main installation over and try the plugins when the next semi-official comes out. -- "I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin, So across the Western ocean I must wander" -- traditional _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
