Re: [slim] 7.4.1 rebuffering woes
My problem is more unusual. I have not seen any reference to it on the forums. I get rebuffering also (SB3, wireless), but only when the SB is first turned on. If I try to play music straight away, I get really poor performance, stuttering display and slow response, then rebuffering, then SB3 reboots. I get this with BOTH my Squeezeboxes. But after they have been connected to the server for 5 minutes or so I have no more issues. NOW - If the Squeezebox(es) are turned on and I turn the server on then I have instant connectivity, no problem. It is only if the actual SBs are off. -- amey01 amey01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72300 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

DigitalMitch;493043 Wrote: server performance (upgarded memory in HP Mediasnart to 2G) Mitch Is it just me, or shouldn't we be able to expect that the server software is able to run on pretty low powered hardware. A mediasmart with 2G sounds far higher than what ought to be acceptable minimum spec to me, and the OPs machine surely ought to have been powerful enough. Given that for convenience, the server typically needs to be running for considerably more time than the Squeezebox is being actively used (and may even be left running 24/7), and given the trends towards trying to minimise power consumption as well as low power options such as the Sheevaplug starting to become widely available, I feel that the server software ought to be respecting these sort of trends and minimising hardware resource requirements. i.e. going in the opposite direction to that which software has traditionally gone. I have to admit I have a vested interest in this as my server is based around a Via 500MHz chip with 0.5G RAM and I'm looking to reduce my power consumption further by moving to a Sheevaplug. (Despite its apparently low power, my current server works fine BTW - I'd just like to be sure that it or something similarly low powered will continue to do so.) I would also expect that it would be in Logitech's interests given that the new Touch will incorporate a slimmed down server.

Re: [slim] 7.4.1 rebuffering woes
there are many threads on this and some details of your set-up would help the community provide some specific suggestions. Rebuffering of radio may be down to your ISP. For local files I've seen rebuffering caused by:- unstable router firmware (Belkin N1 Vision) general wifi issues (moved to homeplug, ethernet over power) server performance (upgarded memory in HP Mediasnart to 2G) specifically for local FLAC, rebuffering did not occur until 7.4 (i think) instead the above probably caused a slight stutter and loss of sync. The error handling got improved and this exposed my underlying problems. this does not rule out something in the newer release of software as well, but no-one has really nailed that and several that have tried have come up with similar issues to mine.
