1) If this (7.9.x?) is worthwhile, why?
Because it's the latest and greatest! :-P
Synology's software showed LMS 7.7.6 as available. Installation was as easy as clicking that button. But I glanced at something that claimed library scanning was faster with 7.9, and that would certainly be worthwhile even though it seem scanning speed is mostly limited by the hard disk and NAS hardware processing speed?
Because the harddisk is slow, there are optimizations in LMS to use the disk less ;-). It all depends on your system, of course. How much memory, what CPU etc.
2) I have a SB Touch running 7.8.0 but with Triode's EDO. Nearly all other plugins/applets are disabled. The only thing this thing does is stream music from LMS and I don't want to break that (including what EDO does.)
In 7.9.1 there are even more plugins you can disable if you want.
3) If #1 = "yes," (worthwhile) how to update?
Synology offers 7.9.1 in the beta channel. -- Michael _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
