Thanks for that, reckon i can tackle that, my only difficulty is learning to copy and past etc. within linux, but thats really not your problem!

Cheers for the software pal.

If I am running my own compiled version on OS X, how do I start a second instance?

Same way… make a new config that properly expresses what you want to do, including making a new db directory. You can use the same web_root though.

Then, to start it, I’d set it up as a launchd item. Check out “lingon”, the launchd editor. You can set it up as a task that runs whenever you logon, or when the machine boots. That’s the way to go, imho. Basically, just run it with “-c /path/to/new/config”

I’m currently streaming flac (transcoding to wav) to both of them, watching the NSLU2 with atop. Both are streaming flawlessly. On the NSLU2, total cpu utilization is 15% sys and 23% usr.

I upgraded my NSLU2 to flac-1.1.4. Since then I experienced
a much higher cpu load (at around 50% for one transcoded file).
Unfortunately it is not possible to downgrade to 1.1.3 because it
has been removed from the repository!

Is there an explanation for this unexpected behaviour and
how can the high load be avoided?

If I try to compile 1.1.3 on my Slug I get a bunch of error messages
regarding dedendencies to other packages (ogg, …) 😥

That doesn’t sound right. FLAC 1.1.4 is supposed to be significantly more efficient than the prior versions…

See http://flac.sourceforge.net/changelog.html#flac_1_1_4

Sorry, I don’t have an answer for you regarding the downgrade…

One question though – how does one measure CPU loading on the NSLU2?

Thanks,

Les.

Yes, I know the statements at sourceforge,
but for the Slug that doesn’t appear to be correct 🙁

I am using htop to measure the cpu load.
You get a nice ASCII display of memory, swap and cpu load…

Just for your information:
The current flac version out of the repository (1.2.1) is back to a cpu load
of 10 to 12% per file 😆
So it is possible to stream 2 or more files simultanously again…
