Aha that was it! Yes I was. When I switched to direct streaming CPU utilisation dropped to ~0%, and when I then sent the stream to a synchronised pair (forcing it to proxied streaming) it went back up to ~45% on a single virtual CPU. It still seems odd that proxying an MP3 stream to 2 devices takes more CPU than transcoding it from AAC+ to FLAC and streaming FLAC to 2 devices, but at least I know why it does that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dagadog's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33215 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107301 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
