Depends what data - if it's from your own music collection, it gets pulled off the disc by SlimServer. The disc can be on the SlimServer machine, on an external drive or on your network. If it's Internet radio data, as of SlimServer 6.5, SlimServer merely acts as a helper, the stream is actually sent directly to your Squeezebox. You could even turn your SlimServer off at this point, which would cause your display to go dark as SlimServer can't send anything more to it, and you couldn't change streams as that functionality is contained in SlimServer. But the stream should still play. Jittery Internet radio is often caused by web congestion - your wireless network has way more bandwidth than the pipe used to feed Internet radio to you, so the performance playing local files and Internet radio will be different. However, there have been reports of poor SqueezeNetwork performance for about a week now, so it's best to play Internet radio through SlimServer at the moment. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29700 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
