Thanks a lot for that. How much drain will four instances of firefly put on the server resources and speed?

Chris

I currently have four instances of Firefly running on a Via EPIA ML6000 board (processor around 533MHz when idle). The CPU loading when not streaming is less than 5%. It goes up when streaming and transcoding of course. When two of the instances are simultaneously transcoding and streaming different content to two Soundbridges the CPU load figure stays in the range 35% to 50% (so only equating to 100% of a 250MHz PC). If I speed up the CPU then the loading drops roughly proportionately. Hope this helps
