Re: [slim] Make my system load the LMS faster please!
I'm aware of that. I ran LMS on a super slow Dual Pentium just fine, but even that had 8GB. I can't imagine what that PC would have been like on 4. If the OP wants a faster LMS, I think a faster PC would be the first approach. Just for the records: I'm running my LMS on a 4 years old Atom based system with 4GB of memory. But using Linux. And that's running perfectly fine. Takes 5-10 seconds to start. Double digit minute numbers are wrong, no matter what the hardware or OS. But only some analysis of where it's stalling will tell us what it is. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

You can check for CPU and I/O issues with perfmon.exe, for example. Fizbin wrote: > I suggest saving your pennies for an Intel i7...or at least an i5. And > make sure it has a minimum 8GB Ram. You can barely run Windows on 4GB. Running Windows on 4GB is not a problem per se. Depends on the tasks you want to perform with it. For LMS or typical home office tasks you don't need an i5 or even an i7. I'm running Win10 on an old first-generation i3 without any issues. reinholdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36070 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106262 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Force a Squeezebox to play a sound file immediately?
Hi, is it possible to have a Squeezebox play a sound file right away, regardless of its current state? I would like to use my Squeezeboxes (Radio, Duet) to notify me if an error condition occurs on my home server. I'm running a local LMS if that helps.

The foobar2000 Mobile app works, but it's also limited to stereo. If you select a surround (5.1) track, it briefly puts up a message box complaining about 6 channel audio.

What kind of plugins ? Even dinosaur hardware runs in a couple of minutes IME ? But maybe not with some versions of Erlands plugins , they do some database stuff that takes time . Some of,his plugins are known to drag out startup . Run the server without plugins and then add them one at the time and make observations Why win10 on that kind of machine ? it would probably speed up considerably on some Linux distributions ?
