[SlimDevices: Plugins] piCorePlayer, bt stutters when players synchronized

2022-10-24 Thread gian

Hello All,

I have a single piCorePlayer that drives two BT speakers.
It worked fairly well, but now they stutter if synchronized.

piCorePlayer v6.1.0 | linux 4.19.122-rt52-pcpAudioCore_v7 | piCore
v10.3pCP | Squeezelite v1.9.9-1386-pCP

I think that the stuttering comes from trying to keep the players in
sync.

Issuing top, I see CPU running at 24% with python3
/usr/local/bin/pcp-btspeaker-daemon.py debug.

Could it be a CPU problem?

Pi3 & 4 have 4 cores. If one core is running at 100% then CPU loading
overall is 25%.

LMS is single threaded so it runs on a single core but transcoding
applications will run on other cores and may in fact be mulithreaded
(i.e use more than one core)

You should use a tool which shows individual core loading to see if any
core is 100% loaded and to be sure what process is taking up time.

This shows one core CPU2 has 100% loading but strangely 75% is in "sys"
What process is running on this core ?
if it is bluealsa - then could there be a problem with driver ?

I would bet this is just a buffering issue.  Or standard sync problems
between different devices.  I'll see if I can find the time to test a
couple of devices.   When I originally set it up, I never tried sync.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] piCorePlayer, bt stutters when players synchronized

2022-11-29 Thread paul-


Just tested tonight using a RPI3B  using the rpi built in BT.  Wired
network.

I have two different earbuds in right now sync'd   (Surprised its not
that far out of sync) only a millisecond or so between the two ears,
which is fully expected in different capabilities of the two devices.

No stuttering, no processor ever above 35%.

squeezelite, bluealsa are both multi-threaded software.  So the
different threads are all scheduled on various processors.  For example
for the two devices playing there are 8 squeezelite threads and 12 or 13
bluealsa threads (only 3 are really using CPU)

I would install htop(extension) then add processor to the column view. 
That should allow you to sort your view a bit better to see what might
be causing problems.

Probably I had tried, but if I moved to an USB dongle must have been for
insufficient range.
The speakers are distant about 8m from the Raspi, one is in a bathroom.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] piCorePlayer, bt stutters when players synchronized

In the same room I have another Raspi (Raspbian Buster), connected to my
main stereo system with a Hifi Berry DAC, connected with eth0, works
also as bridged AP.
I have just fixed a problem where the DAC would kill the wifi, moving
the channel from 1 to 3.
I found the solution here:
https://www.hifiberry.com/blog/wlan-driver-bug-in-raspberry-pi-kernel/
As a side effect, it looks like the stuttering has reduced a lot (I
would almost say vanished, but I am wary to say it is solved).
Interference between the two?
Maybe I should find a way to turn down just the BT on the AP.

I still think you should find out what process is taking 100%
As Paul has pointed out - except for LMS - most processes are
multithreaded and so should not show this issue.
The fact that 75% is in kernel is very odd.
I don't know pcp and its BT stuff - is LMS still a source - if so what
version of LMS. 
What is the source of the audio stream you are playing ?
There was an LMS bug recently with some internet radio stream where LMS
process would load CPU to 100% (I can't remember the usr/sys split)

I will try to go deeper.
The two bt speakers wake me up with BBC Radio3 every morning, and are
synchronized so I can follow "Bach before 7" from bed to shower.

LMS is up to date so no chance of old bug and anyway BBC streams (DASH)
didn't trigger it. 

It's not clear which system is running LMS. Is LMS running on the PCP
system that you showed 
Code:

CPU2: 24.3% usr 75.6% sys 0.0% nic 0.0% idle 0.0% io 0.0% irq 0.0% sirq

Sorry, maybe I had not understood the question.
No, LMS is running on another host, this a player dedicated to the two
BT speakers.
I wasn't able to run reliably all the functions I needed in a single
player: AP, DAC, two BT speakers, one USB relais to switch on the main
HIFI system: so I split in two.
Both Raspi connected on eth0.

OK, so the process with the high processing has nothing to do with LMS
or LMS provision of audio stream.

I think it would still be interesting to know which process is loading a
CPU core - if it is BT related process then BT signal quality may be the
issue.

With htop the CPU which a process is using can be shown using Setup /
Columns and adding "PROCESSOR". The loading of each CPU can be shown
using Setup / Meters and adding one of the "CPUs" options . To avoid
showing child processes and just totals - turn off "tree view" in Setup
/ Display options.

pcp-btspeaker-daemon.py uses threads so I'm guessing one thread is
having a problem.

Since you have enabled bt daemon logging,  can you attach a zipped copy
of the file /var/log/pcp_bt.log

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] piCorePlayer, bt stutters when players synchronized

2022-12-02 Thread paul-


The daemon is mostly dbus callbacks, so the only way for it to generate
CPU usage is for bluetooth to generate events.. and the events are
logged.   There is nothing abnormal in your log.

Please take a screenshot with htop running showing what each process is
using.

I missed this on he first scan of the log, but your not using the latest
version.  Can you update the Bluetooth extensions.

Sounds like you have a many times upgraded system that somehow broke, 
or too much tweaking in the wrong spots

Check your mirror selection bottom right of most of the pages

Thanks, Paul,
I rebuilt the SD from scratch, with v8.2.
Now the situation looks better.
