Re: [slim] Various Artists: Is this the intended behavior?
This is it! not sure when I changed this setting, or whether an update to Squeezecenter came with this set as default, but now I know. Thanks a lot for helping!

[slim] Various Artists: Is this the intended behavior?
When I navigate on my SB3 to a specific genre, and within that to Various Artists, it brings up all the Various Artists albums I have, not just the ones in the genre I selected. On the screen it displays: 'selected genre'/Various Artists 1 of 139 'Title of my first Various Artists album' but the first Various Artist album I have has nothing to do with the genre I picked and the 139 is the total of albums I have in the Various Artists, of which only one is in the selected genre. Is this the intended behavior? I am fairly sure that is wasn't always like this. I use SqueezeCenter from Slimserver 5.x versions. Details: SqueezeCenter 7.3.2 on Ubuntu 7.10 and feeds my SB3 over wireless connection. Everything works fine except this quirk. -- Lleo_ Lleo_'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3271 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61025 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] dual-core CPU usage
I guess this clarifies it. Thanks all for your answers. Happy listening!

[slim] dual-core CPU usage
Hi All, After using slimserver on a number of low-power devices, like nslu and others, I built a server to host both the music and run slimserver among other functions. The specs of the server are: Core Duo 2 E6300, 2GB of memory, ~1TB of RAID5 storage. The server is also used as NAS. I have Ubuntu 7.04 Server as OS and everything works just fine. I use the webinterface a lot, and I like how snappy now is. What I noticed and my question relates to this: when slimserver scans for music or the webinterface is used extensively, it only uses one of the two CPU cores. Even if one of the cores is loaded to 100%, the other one is 99.9% idle for most of the time. Is this by design or something is wrong with my intallation? Thanks, Lleo_ -- Lleo_ Lleo_'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3271 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36030 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] dual-core CPU usage
Thanks Mark, this helps! I have had the forking enabled and also raised the process priority to the highest available to see if that makes a difference. Now, that I gave some thinking, actually I am realizing that I need to start two copies of prime95 or cpu-burn to load both cores when testing, so maybe it is by system-design that a single process can not use two cores, even when multi-threaded. (not sure if prime95 or cpu-burn are multithreaded though) but, in slimserver properties, perl and mysqld (I think) are listed wih multi-threading supported, which in turn makes me to expect that they could use two cores if available. -- Lleo_ Lleo_'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3271 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36030 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] dual-core CPU usage
I am not very good at quoting previous posts :-) and no, I definiately do not want slimserver to load 99.9% of both cores and then the OS struggle to get some processing power. I just asked this from the perspective if it was by design to always use ~50% of the available precessing capacity. Multithreading in the scanning process is most likely is used, i.e. scanning more than one audio file at the same time. The scanning itself is indeed only one process but I think the number of threads are not directly adjustable, unless one digs deep in the code maybe... but I am no expert... overall, I certainly like the responsiveness and speed of SS on a C2D processor, this is by far exceeds the experience compared to NSLU2, AMD K5 450Mhz, Celeron 900 Mhz I previously used. -- Lleo_ Lleo_'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3271 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36030 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I will do it for you, just send me your music collection.
