Browser refresh causes AAC cut-offs
Last modified: 2008-08-18 10:54:16 UTC
I get audio cut-offs on AAC files when the browser displaying the SlimServer web interface does a refresh � either the default 30 second browser refresh or a manual refresh. The problem happens with Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer. System is:- G4 iMac OSX 10.3.8, SlimServer 6.0.0 using iTunes 4.7.1, Squeezebox (using wireless) The problem happens when playing an AAC file � it doesn't happen when playing a MP3 file. The problem doesn't appear to be related to the size of playlist � it happens with one file in the playlist. Looking at the Mac activity monitor, when a refresh happens, the browser seems to grab well over 50% of the real time and the CPU maxes out. The cut-offs only appear to happen when the SlimServer web interface is refreshed � I don't get cut-offs when refreshing another web-pages. Problem occurs on 5.4.0, 5.4.1 and 6.0.0. Problem has also been posted on Discuss bulletins see:- http://lists.slimdevices.com/archives/discuss/2005-March/046254.html http://lists.slimdevices.com/archives/discuss/2005-March/046349.html (contains debug info)
I'm going to have another pass at optimizing this further.
Dan thinks that putting the playlists in the database will improve this.
Michael - can you please see if this has been fixed in the 6.1 branch? Thanks.
This bug was marked resolved in Slimserver 6.1, which is several versions ago. If you're still seeing this bug, please re-open it. Thanks!
