I'm pretty sure upgrading the server will help. Squeeze Control loads up to 5 images simultaneously, but I have never experienced a similar problem on my own server and I've only ever heard of similar problems on slower servers. Even after the images are cached, the server still has to be able to handle the network requests in a timely manner. Increasing the speed of the hardware will help with this. Ultimately LMS is a web server and not being able handle 5 simultaneous image requests from a single client is pretty poor performance for any web server. There is limit at which point increasing hardware performance wouldn't increase LMS performance, but I think a single core first generation Atom running Windows 7 is well below that limit. -------------- Squeezebox apps for webOS and Android, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96757 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
