Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS crashing frequently
I enabled INFO logging for Spotty. This morning I was woken by the annoying default alarm on my Radio and sure enough the network indicator was red. The alarm was set for 6.00am and in the past if the internet was down for any reason the alarm would always sound at the correct time but this time unless I slept through it the alarm did not fire until around 6.11am. At around 6.18am the network indicator turned white again. (Unfortunately) this log shows something I feared it might show: sometimes the spotty helper is locking up LMS while trying to get a token. I thought I had implemented an async routine for this. Alas it seems not to be working. I'll have to review that and find some other solution :-(. Why this is only a problem on some systems, I don't know. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

As the AnyEvent scheduler shares time among LMS core tasks - it can requested to broadly monitor time spent by tasks - if one task take a long time it becomes very obvious. It is enabled using the command line option ""--perfwarn=0.5" where the 0.5 is the time threshold in seconds and output is in the log file perfmon.log with an etry for each time the threshold is exceeded.

However, as your system seems to lock up and it doesn't happen to many others - we have to look for the "edge" conditions and "What is different about your system". I see likely cause of the long hangup either being a plugin getting stuck in a loop and not releasing back to the AnyEvent scheduler - or a network related issue which is locking the system. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110912 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS crashing frequently
This is still happening. This morning playback stopped for 8 minutes then recovered. Nothing in server log. Are you using Spotty? If so, could you please enable INFO logging for Spotty and see whether there's been activity around when LMS is locking up? Also make sure (and I'm sure I've mentioned this already...) you run the very latest LMS 7.9. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

> MichaelOK after it crashed again this morning I looked further down the list
in top and found some squeeze items. Now while writing this after around
5 minutes music has started to play again so how can I find the cause.
Maybe a plugin is playing up.[image:

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS crashing frequently
Your issue may or may not be related to mine as reported here: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?110767-Disappearing-Re-appearing-LMS After my final post in that thread LMS vanished again so I reinstalled Windows 10 and set everything up again. LMS runs fine on my Windows 10 PC with Material Skin but crashes soon after I add the Music and Artist Information plugin. I may have an issue in how my system is configured, but if you are running the M plugin, I would take a look at that.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS crashing frequently
LMS crashed again this morning and there was no sign of LMS as a running
process in top as shown in the first screenshot. The second screenshot
shows the situation after restarting LMS. LMS is now at the top of the
list but the number of running processes is still one for some
reason.
Those screenshots only show about 1/3 of all processes. LMS could be far
down the list... ordering the list by memory consumption ("M") would
usually bring it high up. Or us "ps" rather than "top".
What about the system log files?

Recently I have found I need to restart LMS after playback stops on all players. When this happens LMS is unreachable. LMS is on a Raspberry Pi using Max2Play and the latest 7.9.2. There is nothing in the server log related to the crash. What can I log to investigate this.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS crashing frequently
Recently I have found I need to restart LMS after playback stops on all players. When this happens LMS is unreachable. LMS is on a Raspberry Pi using Max2Play and the latest 7.9.2. There is nothing in the server log related to the crash. What can I log to investigate this. I did report this in another thread but that seems to have been missed. If this happened once a month I wouldn't be too bothered but every day or two is doing my head in. The Raspberry Pi itself does not crash as I am able to restart LMS from the Max2Play web page. RAM usage is not high either.
