Hoping the Slim Devices community can help me track down the reasons why SoftSqueeze is behaving sluggishly.
Everything was working perfectly up until I made some changes last weekend. First, here's the 'working' configuration before I made any changes: - Win XP Pro - SqueezeCenter 7.0 - Drobo/Droboshare - AVG 8.0 Antivirus Last weekend's changes: - Same mother board/CPU - Same HDD - Same Drobo/Droboshare - New case/power supply - Replaced recent model DVD burner with an older CD burner - SqueezeCenter 7.1 - Fresh install of Win XP (home edition this time) - Kespersky 7.0 antivirus replaces AVG Prior to making these changes, SqueezeCenter was incredibly responsive. Even when calling up a huge folder (50+ tracks), SqeezeBox would begin playing immediately. The only exception was my Playlist folder where SqueezeCenter/Drobo would have to 'think' for a brief period before the list would populate. Now that behavior occurs no matter what folder I call up. If a track is playing and I select a different track for another folder, it can take over 15 seconds for the new track to begin playing. When I look directly on the SqueezeCenter UI, 'Loading' appears and the list builds quite slowly. Even jumping down to another track in a populated list results in a delay before the track begins to play. One hint could be my router. With all this rework last weekend, the router locked up. When I recovered it, it's DHCP was handing out weird IP addresses (e.g.: 99.xxx.xxx.xxx). Even the gateway address didn't start with the typical 192.168.x.xxx. It also started with 99. I eventually got the router to serve up a 'proper' IP address, along with giving itself a typical gateway address but I wonder if the router is responsible. Or could Kespersky be causing the problem? Thanks for your indulgence through this long-winded post. -- ShutterShock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ShutterShock's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3602 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48740 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
