I'm using MediaBox to stream images over WAN and sending the data with FUPPES, (which has worked well so far because it's the only client I have found that will stream FLAC audio).

However, I'm having trouble sending my (not so teribly large) jpeg images over the network. I have a rapidly aging Canon S80 with which takes pics at 8 megapixels, and the average filesize of every image is about 5 MB.

So far I haven't found a consistent solution to stream these pics to the N900. I can get one pic on the unit, and the second pic never shows up. I've tried messing with FUPPES' cfg file, many different configs, but no success.

Does anyone have a working solution for such a problem? Maybe an optimal setting for FUPPES (the wiki is rather spare in terms of support) or perhaps an altogether different and better solution?

Thanks so much, I really would like to be able to get my archived images on demand over the network.

Yet another of my many requests tht no one else seems to have the answer too (or any interest it).

Anyway, nevermind, because I figured it out. The problem was the files take a bit of time to stream onto the N900, so by slowing down the slideshow to about 10 or 12 seconds per picture, that takes care of the lag and the ensuing lock-up/crash.

As well, there is no need to reencode, a la FUPPES server or Knots' abilities. Just allowing the little bit more time for the pics to arrive makes everything run smoothly.

One minor annoyance - Media Box defaults its slideshow to 3 seconds and resets it every time - there is no way to set and save at a different time interval, that I can find.
