I don't say it's a big problem, but the lack for FF/RWD, the transcoding is a more complicated process and therefore more likely to fail/have bugs. It also uses resources on the SS machine which is really not needed. Many people would probably like to use a very low spec "server" or NAS device which maybe cannot handle the transcoding at all properly. I myself has a few minor issues which may or may not be related to the complex transcoding issue done at SS. Tracks are a bit slow to start playing, for the first NN seconds there are skips and when I sync two boxes they are never completely synced. Not to say that this happends all the time and the transcoding is the problem, but the problems starting tracks from time to time would probably be better if the server was not required to start wmadec and flac to start streaming. -- Terje -- Terje ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Terje's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6773 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28267 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
