Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LSM 7.9.1 Nightly on RPi3--LMS server unresponsive to connections
Putting the scanning process, which has been "building the index" for 95 minutes now, on 50% CPU and renicing it back to 0, and putting the main LMS to 80% CPU has not made connecting to LMS possible :-) gstalnaker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63504 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108720 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LSM 7.9.1 Nightly on RPi3--LMS server unresponsive to connections
https://www.tecmint.com/limit-cpu-usage-of-a-process-in-linux-with-cpulimit-tool/ Can be used to modify CPU usage of a *running* process. Can only be used from a terminal session. Is not permanent. But if you encounter a situation like mine where LMS is basically useless, you can affect how LSM and the scanner process use CPU, memory (using ulimit) and priority (using renice). I may never using the LMS web ui Scan/Recan options again and just run scanning from a terminal session so I can use these tools. gstalnaker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63504 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108720 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LSM 7.9.1 Nightly on RPi3--LMS server unresponsive to connections
While renice does modify the priority it does not modify CPU use. And though I was able to connect to the LMS web UI after its CPU use fell, the minute I clicked on anything in the UI to "show" content, its CPU shot back up to 100% and now I cannot connect again. So it's not just priority. On a RPi3 running the latest Raspbian and the latest LMS nightly with Perl 5.24.x etc. The scanning "build index" process effectively renders LSM unusable. Back to my original question -- how can this be fixed? Or can it? gstalnaker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63504 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108720 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

One can use at the CLI: #> ps -ef | grep squee to see list of the processes that include "squee" which will show the primary LMS processes and the Scanning process if running.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Media server doesn't save any of my new settings
Hello all, I can't seem to get the media server to save my more recent settings. Example: as my iTunes library has grown, I have had to increase the "Maximum Playlist Length" in "Advanced Settings-->Advanced-->Performance-->Maximum Playlist Length". The setting works in the short term but the next day after I boot up my Mac, the Maximum Playlist Length setting has reverted to its previous number. A second example happens when I add a new radio station to my Web Remote Control. Again, it remembers the setting for the short term, but the next day, it's gone. figure2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63898 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108719 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Buffering and DNF update failure
If everything is hard wired and the buffering is from local FLAC files then there are really only 3 areas to look at 1. uPNP players on your network. Certain devices are known to flood the network with discovery packets to the server. 2. Networking. You say you are happy everything is working but clearly it isn't. The problem could be as simple as a faulty cable or port on your router/switch. Try a simplified network involving only router/switch, Vortexbox and one player. If the problem persists swap all cables one by one and try each port of the router/switch systematically. 3. The hardware (motherboard) of your Vortexbox machine is failing.
