SC7 sync *is* vastly improved over SlimServer. Long tracks stay in sync now, poor network conditions don't throw off sync anymore. Stuff that didn't work well at all now works perfectly--I think it's fair to call that a vast improvement.
That's not to say all sync bugs were fixed. For example, gapless sync was broken before SC7, and it continues to be broken after SC7. No significant change as far as I'm concerned. You've expressed that you don't mind the degree to which this feature is broken in SlimServer, but many people, including myself, consider SlimServer's gapless sync so badly broken that it's unusable. Half a second or five years, a gap is a gap. I can't see how SlimServer's behavior was even remotely tolerable, so SC7 is no worse. I don't know where you've read that the developers have no plans to fix this but that is not true. There is already a bug filed on this topic and the developers involved have expressed an interest in fixing it. It is an extremely difficult problem to fix, however, and the fix is unlikely to be done anytime soon. I don't think, however, that there are any plans to revert from Broken Gapless Sync Method #2 back to Broken Gapless Sync Method #1, because it wouldn't actually fix anything and it would break the sync improvements that were actually delivered with SC7. -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46722 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
