All, I'm baffled and don't know what to do. I have an old SB Classic that I've had for years.
Player Model: Squeezebox Classic Player Type: squeezebox2 Firmware: 137 Player IP Address: 192.168.1.66 Player MAC Address: 00:04:20:09:05:4a It's been connecting to LMS without issue for that entire time. It is part of a 2-SB system, there is an SBRadio in the bedroom. The SBRadio connects via WiFi, the SB Classic is wired to my ATTUverse router. The Linux Kubuntu desktop on which the LMS runs is also wired to the ATTUverse router. Recently, in the past four weeks, playback on the wired SB2 is interrupted by re-buffering (as the display shows). This re-buffering is intermittent. Last night, for example, I listened to 2 hours of Sibelius symphonic music without one rebuffer. Today, I loaded a playlist and the SB2 re-buffered multiple times in the first 5 minutes. I have not noticed re-buffering on the SBRadio using WiFi nor on a PiCorePlayer using v2 of their release (currently unused). Today's re-buffering is particularly aggravating as I have spend many hours trouble-shooting what may be awry. This is not a Linux OS Kubuntu system load thing. Top at a zsh shell prompt shows practically no load and many gigabytes of RAM available. Typically I see something like this: top - 12:34:50 up 3 days, 17:39, 1 user, load average: 0.04, 0.05, 0.03 Tasks: 180 total, 1 running, 179 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 0.1 us, 0.0 sy, 0.0 ni, 99.7 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.2 si, 0.0 st KiB Mem : 12215068 total, 244300 free, 539568 used, 11431200 buff/cache KiB Swap: 9765884 total, 9765884 free, 0 used. 11227496 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 9882 squeeze+ 20 0 325280 213600 10416 S 0.7 1.7 0:06.67 squeezeboxserve Also ... it seems relevant though I cannot find anything amiss anywhere on the desktop to account for it ... the Default web UI is VERY slow. Page loads are in the 15-second range. Interestingly UIs for Android (SqueezeCommander) and IOS (iPeng) seems completely unaffected--just as snappy and responsive as they've always been. What I've done? I have removed/purged LMS and all files/folders Installed LMS 7.8, configured, and ... the rebuffering resumed. Updated LMS to latest nightly build, currently 7.9.0 - 1479666929 ... the rebuffering continues. The Kubuntu system in use is always updated with packages as recommended by Kubuntu as is LMS when new builds are released. Though the Kubuntu desktop is a full install I actually rarely sit down and use it, preferring to use an old laptop running LinuxMint (which I'm typing on right now). I don't see any setting that allows me to specify buffering options for the LMS. Agghh - the SB2 just re-buffered again :-/ And again. And again. That's three times in 10 minutes, seven times in 50 minutes total over five separate tracks. Suggestions welcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gstalnaker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63504 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106497 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
