Hi Folks!
I’m expecting browsing problems with SB M1000 and mt-daapd (e.g. failed to browse data)
regarding to the roku forum this error is because the data cannot be loaded fast enough / the sb is timeout waiting for data..
I “only” have got ~11200 songs in my db, using wired environment.
So I wonder if this might be a CPU issue
mt-daap is running on my debian woody kernel 2.6.2 / Pentium II 350MHz08/02/2005 at 11:28 AM #3130rpeddeParticipantHave you tried the released 0.2.1 version? That has a contributed patch that significantly speeds up transfers.
I would think that a P-II class machine wouldn’t have a problem speed-wise.
Also, make sure you have compression turned off — that may (depending) actually make the transfer speed slower, rather than faster as you might imagine.
That’s where I’d start, anyway.

Yep.. installed it using your debian package.

Hmm, I’ll try that this evening..

So it’s a n! algorithm to return a browse list, which is complicated by the fact that it’s doing strcasecmp along the whole list.
I could make it log(n) by using a red/black tree to store the browse list.
I’ll add that to my “to do shortly” list.

And browsing seems to be more ‘reliable’.Thanks
