Regardless of the merits or popularity of these tweaks - I still think that you should identify the specific issue in the TCP data stream. It is only when the problem is properly understood that a proper fix can be made.
For example, the TCP reset issue I keep mentioning (and it was an mplayer issue with AlienBBC) - after demanding more info from users, I found out it affected overwhelmingly Windows users and then after further enquiries it was users who had tweaked registry or ran utilities which would "improve web browsing/file download" or were on satellite links. Then I was able to test the XP tweaks and their various undos. >From these test I could reproduce the problem and I found that some undo did not work and that only a Windows install would reset TCP back to a working state. So for your problem - getting more data from users is also important. For example, What is the spread of occurrence of the problem by OS - is is mainly Windows ? After which SC/SBS version and firmware versions did the problem start becoming prevalent ? There were a number of version of 7.2.1. - I need to check when when sync was rewritten but I think it was not not 7.3.0. The changes affected players and server so the problem could be in the player. What is the spread of problem by player ? is it mainly Softsqueeze. If it is Softsqueeze - is it mainly running on single core processors or not ? (some of the Softsqueeze changes for 7.3 failed more often on multicore systems) What is the spread of the problem by service ? > > They are two of the most popular TCP/IP mods which many people use... > which didn't affect me when I used squeezecenter 7.2.1 and earlier (with > respective backend). > I don't understand what you are referring to by "respective backend". As I see it Squeezecenter is a single program which uses MySQL as a database backend, various players and browsers are its frontend. I don't know what you consider to be the "backend" which is separate from Squeezecenter. > Maybe just a couple of minutes of your time might be all it takes to see > something that looks very bad.
