If you access the map directly can it be zoomed? From your post I don't see anything at the Great Salt Lake. Salt Lake City is just east of what shows as the white salt flats in the western USA. Main system - Rock Solid with LMS 7.9 on WHS 2011 - 2 Duets and Squeeseslave Portable system - Rock

You've worked it out, but it's a sample based on instances that are openly visable to the web at the moment (so assuming a guesstimate that 1% are open, then each dot would represent 100 players?). What service have you been using? Shodan's maps look less detailed (at least those I've seen).

I was doing some basic checking on the security of my own system and I was completely shocked to see how many people have opened their squeezebox web front end to the internet. Oh... I see where your map is coming from :-). See my related posting:

I stumbled on a nice little map that shows the relative distribution of people using squeezebox. Interesting. Would you know how old this is and where it comes from? What data it is based on? -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list

As a network drive it makes zero difference to performance during operation only during scan. Whether that scan is fast enough for you is something only you can answer.. it won't change much as likely the drive itself and the IOPs it supports is the limiting factor. -Transcoded from Matt's

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Why Flash in LMS?
