Especially iPad 3 always gets pretty warm is you actually use it. Apart from that: Did you enable "Settings->iPeng Settings->preserve connection"? That would keep iPeng active in the background. It allows you to use the volume buttons but costs battery life. If that option is off, then so is iPeng as soon as the screen turns off or iPeng goes to the background. While the screen is on, iPeng permanently communicates with the server. That doesn't draw a lot of power, but it's more than just looking at a static image or something.
Other than that the initial caching will take a bit more load but that shouldn't last too long and playing audio on the iPad itself obviously does so, too, depending on the format (ogg/vorbis being worst followed by FLAC, then mp3, aac and ALAC; although ALAC will be sent as FLAC with the default server configuration). There's one thing that does cost more power while also slowing down the server and that is if the server is scanning while you use iPeng, then iPeng's caches might be reloaded several times but that's not a "normal" use case. iPeng's browser also can be a bit CPU intensive, depending on the web site you are visiting, because iPeng checks all the links for playable stuff. Other than in the very last case (using iPeng's browser) iPeng should never draw more power than Safari while browsing a web site (not just looking at the already rendered web site). Facebook or the Logitech App should draw more power under normal operation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
