Thanks to you both for your thoughts - I didn't know how to view debug logs when running via the systray - that was a great help.
I'm running AVG anti-virus and behind a hardware firewall - all files are on local disk. But it looks like the gaps are being caused by the iTunesUpdate plugin... When viewing the debug log I noticed entries saying that iTunesUpdate couldn't connect to iTunes - these occurred between songs at the time of the long pauses in playback. Disabling the iTunesUpdate plugin caused the gaps to go away and playback to revert to normal. So that got me thinking... And, as usual, it's a case of operator error - I THOUGHT I was running SlimServer at login but I noticed that it was set to run at system start. I'm not sure when this changed - maybe at my last SlimServer upgrade. Switching the systray to run at login (with iTunesUpdate re-enabled) resolved the issues and playback is normal again. The iTunesUpdate plugin can't communicate directly with iTunes when running as a service at system start - that's a documented limitation. It might be nice if it stopped running if it's in an invalid configuration but if I'd followed the instructions I would have avoided the issue in the first place. Thanks again for your inputs. -- barcar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ barcar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36122 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
