Idolse - great to hear your plan for 0.9.4 which sounds like a good one. Mostly 'my script' is Dynobot's. Where are you Dynobot?! It made significant improvement to my system and I am sure that there is more to come. But as always YMMV. That's the trouble with OS like Windows and Linux too - however...

Hi Walter It is partly true that I have defected to Windows! I have been testing (actively) an optimised C++ 'hair shirt' player for a keen coder SBGK over on AA. He has come up with a render loop coding that is of magnificent sound quality and to my surprise overcoming the enormous bloat and overhe...

Looking back at various postings on WaveIO issues: =============================================== Sounds like you're running into the same unmute issue. It's not WaveIO specific actually, it could affect a number of different components, it's just most common with the WaveIO. The root cause is that...

Re SSD - I may be completely wrong technically, but surely: Once the Linux OS has loaded (into RAM) and if you use 100% load into memory setting in mpd.config both mpdPup and your Playlist are fully loaded into RAM and so the SSD will not be accessed at all whilst music is actually playing? That is ...

[quote="Mark van de Pas"]@luisb * I run mpd-pup with 2Gb Ram (2 x 1Gb) * I don´t use HD music files (can´t see why 192 files would be better) @ Jean-Louis Too my knowlegde MPD-pup is designed (default configuration) too run from USB-stick with music-files on a NAS. So, in my setup there is...

Hi Mark Thank, I'll look in old thread to try understanding why mpdpup is not running on ARM platforms as it is so resources savvy BR I think that I can definitively say that the only reason that lodlse has not released an ARM version of mpdPup is that it is a lot of work to port the code and that ...

Hi Jean Louis From what i read it runs Pulse audio instead of Alsa and it has 1.5 Gb size. Never tried Pulse Audio, but there is alot of criticism about. There is not much information about network server use. 1.5 Gb size and a minimum of 2 Gb ram demands systems with more musle and i believe you c...

willemoes I do it headless. I take control with putty in the windows server notebook. Only linux command line control, but i got used to it. Its easy with ncmpc or ncmpcpp. Regards Same here except I use use the Gnome MPD client on the laptop connected directly to the headless mpdPupPC via ethernet...

Idolse I use buff size=51200 and buff before play 100%. Maybe my cable wifi router doesn't have enough bandwith to transmit HD files. But, even in cd quality, the sound is not cristal clear and causes discomfort in a long run listening. jrling I believe we agree but great capacity SSD are still exp...

Option 1! I have that with SSD storing the music and WaveIO and it is fantastic. I cannot comment on your other options, but I think they would be less good as network activity interference to the core process of outputting a consistent noise-free music stream, cannot be better? I set mpdPup to load...

Dynobot - I have just downloaded it and viewed in text editor. Have to say that I found many or most of Soundcheck's code to be very Touch specific. Hardly surprising there. But so much so, that I was finding difficulty in finding any code that would transfer safely or effectively for mpdPup, but ha...

Excellent suggestion Dynobot. Put me down as a willing tester.

I would welcome the inclusion of some of the Linux utils that are required for Soundchck's Toolbox tweaks in the mpdPup build, even if ldolse has not got the time to include the actual tweaks himself in the set-up wizard.

Thanks ldolse

I found this command to renice by name rather than PID No. -

renice XX -p $(pidof <name>)

and it seems to work!

ldolse - I am happy to do some experimental on my system. Of course, we are getting into system-specific territory and the preferable solution no doubt for those with dual-core processors like me is to have MPD running on its own separate core - as suggested by Dynobot but requiring some utilities t...

I also note that MPD's process is running at Nice setting 0 (Zero). Would it benefit from moving to say -19 or -20?

Regarding processes renicing - the extra info on discovering which processes to renice is perfect - better setting of nice values is something I've wanted to get working properly for a long time. ldolse I wondered if you had any suggestions for other processes that directly contribute to audio outp...

Open question. From what I understand 64bit operating systems are more efficient and able to process more data per CPU cycle or something like that.... Is it possible or even worth the effort to build a 64bit version of MPDPup? Even though MPD itself is not 64bit there is a 64bit version of alsa [w...

I think if you feel the numbers in mpdPup are fine, I will leave well alone.

Excellent. Those are the only two I renice'd. Good result too.

Please could I trouble you for the correct values for this line from SBGK for PC with 4GB of RAM - rather than plugging in random values!
echo "1000 1024000 512 2048" > /proc/sys/kernel/sem

Many thanks
