Transcoding to FLAC is a good thing. This means that the SB3 is always playing files that used the same encoder, and any decoding bugs are less likely due to so many users sharing the same encoder. I was thinking your bug could be caused by the SB3 not knowing how to decode for an oddball MP3 encoder--that sort of thing. Clearly that's not it. I also use transcoded-to-FLAC (with 6.5.1), so that's kinda convenient.
So it's definitely not the encoding, and it's likely not wireless (it would help to do a wired test just to put that possibility more solidly to rest though). So you're basically syncing with the exact same setup as me, but something's happening for you that isn't for me. So let's get more details on the wireless, to get a handle on transient, non-repeatable problems: - 802.11B or G? - How many simultaneous clients total? - Cordless phones using the 2.4 GHz range? - What channel is your wireless network using? What channels are your neighbors using? Then there's the SlimServer itself: - What's the O/S and SlimServer version? - Hardware specs? Is it attached via ethernet or wireless? - Have you checked your slimserver.log for strange events around the time your sync cuts out? I'm thinking if it truly isn't the wireless in general, then it's something inconsistent and harder to test, such as your neighbor's access point operating on an overlapping channel, or even your SlimServer doing some sort of powersaving thing when it shouldn't. -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35479 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
