Hi John, I have made more tests this evening and here are the successive values of the CPU usage of the perl slimserver.pl process : 1) When using the HDD : 1.1) With a 24/96 file : 32%/46%/43%/45%/52%/30%/42%/51%/47%/44%/32%/51%/36%/35%/57%/31%/37%/48%/24%/54%/38%/31%/56%/32%/37%/50%/27%/48%/38%/30%/... And so on... The server process does never go under 20% and the Touch is constantly rebuffering 1.2) With a 16/44.1 file : 29%/50%/56%/28%/2%/2%/1%/1%/1%/1%/2%/2%/1%/... 2) When using the USB stick : 2.1) With a 24/96 file : 17%/12%/5%/4%/5%/4%/4%/... And no rebuffering problem ... 2.2) With a 16/44.1 file : 23%/4%/2%/1%/2%/1%/... A little precision : for tests 1.1) and 2.1), I was always starting from scratch (Touch unplugged, USB device unplugged), and then I waited until the re-analysis of the files on the USB device was completed. Tests 1.2) and 2.2) were done immediately after tests 1.1) and 2.1), without turning off the Touch. Do you think that the problem could come from the great number of files on the HDD ? If you think it would be useful, I could make a test where I erase the contents of the HDD (I have a complete backup on its HFS formatted twin), and try the HDD with only the same couple of files as on the USB stick. What do you think ? Anyway, thank you very much for your time. -- rotho ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rotho's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33493 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77080 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
