The same thing that SQLite did in prior versions.. provides the database that SlimServer directly uses. > > What are the advantages of the MySQL orgainzation over previous methods > used in Slimserver? The biggest is that it is a genuine client-server relationship between Slimserver and the database. This helps things like the scanning process -- since one process is scanning and one is doing the userinterface and playing (and a third, MySQL, is running the database the two need to share), the operating system can "schedule" those three tasks all by itself. ie, MacOS is quite capable of running more than one program and can make sure that everything gets "fair" use of the processor... so 6.5's big benefit with MySQL is that a whole bunch of "let's make sure that everything is getting execution time" is passed onto the operating system. It's still using iTunes in exactly the same way. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31824 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
