weekend is here, playtime again... ;-) @mherger Just to set the context for my trial: my mission is to use Spotify Connect with my squeezeboxes
I did some more experimenting to see how /tmp is affected, when the /tmp folder fills up on my Qnap-NAS spotty stop playing until its cleared I can't figure out why there is a limit to /tmp since I have a large file system, on the other hand I know just the bare minimum of linux, or less. I play on my Squeezebox Classic or Squeezebox Receiver. "Spotty-app" -------------- When I use the Spotty in LMS, either from the web-GUI or iPeng app Spotty behaves as a beauty! When skipping or before the end of a song (or actually before next songs is starting) a new (1 and only 1) .tmp???? file appear in /tmp, the file is there for a few seconds and disappears. This file seems to me to be the raw-file from Spotify since it's not affect in size depending on what transcoding I use. "Connect" ----------- When I use the Spotify app for Windows, iPhone or iPad and play songs/playlists/"radio station" and direct the stream to my Devices being my Receiver or Classic I experience problem as reported before. >From 1.9.7 starting to play a song mostly add a delay, often followed by skipping one or two songs. My Classic responds by showing Screensaver during these delays, as if the player was stopped/turned off. The Spotify apps (no matter platform) starts to flicker when doing a skip or jumping to the next song in playlist. Without knowing better I would guess there is some sort of interference/confusion between LMS-Spotty and Spotify app. Sometimes In 1.9.6 I didn't experience this, then Connect played solid until stopping as a cause of full /tmp When monitoring /tmp folder I see several .tmp???? files of the exact same size, there can be 1 or even up to 10, some of these are disappearing after a few seconds, sometimes its hard see since some files disappears while other are appearing for the first time. My impression is that this weekend Spotty is more successful to clean out those files than last weekend. In 1.9.6 I always saw 2 identical sized .tmp???? files for every song that was about to play. But only one of the files was removed, leading to that my /tmp was filed up after 20-30 songs resulting in Spotty to stop. I made a few changes in my setup since last weekend: -I have updated to the latest nightly (from one in October) -I was now successful in getting spotty to use the 64-bit version using the the -custom suffix (last weekend spotty wouldn't use those). ...I don't believe any of these changes can be accountable for the different behavior though. I just wanted to share my findings if that can help in the development...
