There are 2 issues here: 1. I have spent countless hours trying to get this setup to perform as promised. WAY beyond any 30 day guarantee. This is mostly because any technical support offered (for any IT product) automatically makes you assume it is YOUR fault! I have tried every new version of Slimserver, SqueezeCentre and RAIDiator issued and they have ALL performed like dogs. My library is well ordered and I spent a long time converting all tracks to the same format (AAC). I put 1gB of RAM in the ReadyNAS and that DID lift the performance from appalling to just dreadful. Since the ReadyNAS, Squeezeboxes and Slimserver were sold as a package, I would have expected them (naively) to work out of the box. Which part of this statement is unreasonable?
2. I would expect the vendors (Netgear and Logitech) to work TOGETHER to solve this problem, not in seeming isolation and denial of responsibility for a product combination which obviously is not fit for purpose. If you are selling a 1Tb server with a promise of music streaming to a specifically named product, it should be capable of working as well with 1Tb of stored music as with 1Gb. Size should not be an issue. Is there anything wrong with that assumption? What you are suggesting is that the adverts recommending this combination were misleading and, although I can store music on the ReadyNAS and use the Squeezeboxes to stream it, I need to use an interim computer to do the work that SlimServer/SqueezeCenter reckons it should be able to do on the original combination. -- larrettp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ larrettp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10191 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45261 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
