Unresolved HD1k issues: aquarium+mp3

[rm ca]

Hi. I have never been able to get the aquarium and sound to both work
simultaneously (my reason for purchasing the product). I have added 128MB
SWAP via COMPACTFLASH drive, per specification on the ROKU website. My roku
is connected to a WinXP pro server (2.0GHz, 2GB RAM) via 100MBPS cat5e
ethernet. The LongAquarium is hosted on the same disk & partition as the
MP3 files. There is only 1 network share. The network share has 6
subdirectories. The subdirectories have between 50-800 files each.

Why can't the unit play the aquarium and music simultaneously without having
hiccups every other second? What can I do to remedy this? The company's
focus on producing the Soundbridge has left this issue unaddressed for 3
months. Any assistance you can offer will be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Reynolds Cameron

Hi Reynolds. I run my aquarium from a CF card in the HD1k and it works
perfectly. I¹ve also run it from a memory stick and it chokes, so I¹ve
stuck with the CF card.

Good luck,
Von

Hi Reynolds,
One quick question that I didn't see answered. What version of HD1000 software
are you running?
