Hi,
I'm running Cacko 1.23 on a C-1000.
It works great.
I decided to install smbmount, and mount my mp3's off my old windows box (yup...thats all windows is good for anyway, but I digress) So smbmount, mounts the samba share nicely and I run the media player in the Cacko rom.
I found that I need to set the mount point in the Documents directory for this to properly work since the media player will only look at my sd card or the documents folder. The program then scan's for directory for all the mp3s and creates some kind of list/database of the artist and albums...not as good as a real mp3 player but not bad either.
So, I'm using a Linksys WCF-11, compact flash wireless card, and it works fine. WEP works etc. So start to play an mp3 over wireless from my samba share and it taks forever to start...well forever is a relative term, but atleast 5 seconds or more(is it buffering?) Even as it starts to play my album, it pauses 5 seconds or more between tracks...That is annoying.
So I am wondering if other people have seen poor performance over wireless. I'm only talking about 4-5 Meg mp3's. Not like 100MB file transfers.
Also I notice that when I update packages through the gui that the wireless card only will take about 50KB/s.
We'll, I'm not sure if this is a Processor Issue, not being able to keep up with the data bandwitch, but 416MHz is pretty fast. I thought it could be an I/O think from the CF card/bus.
Please let me know about your zaurus performance.
If you know of any tweaks, I need to do, that would be great.
FYI, all my tests are with the Wireless router in the same room about 4 feet away.
btanoue.
Keep the Z alive!
