i posted a message in the general discussion section about having sync problems between my slimp3 and my sb2 after upgrading to sc7 and I received a response from autopilot saying that it could be the last.fm plugin that is problematic. I removed the last.fm plugin and i did get improved sync but the real culprit seems to be the current beta version of dynamic playlists in conjunction with sql playlist.
Here's my previous posting: so with the encouragement of another thread here recently talking about the improvements in synching players I decided to take the plunge and upgrade from 6.5.4 to sc7. All went well in upgrading the software and all of my plugins. But now I have introduced a whole new can of worms into my system. my system: Mac G4 running osx 10.4.10. comcast cable modem Buffalo whr-hp-g54 router sb2- wired slimp3 - wired into a netgear xe102 homeplug. (works consistently) with 6.5.4 my sb2 worked flawlessly. my slimp3 worked almost flawlessly with the occasional hiccup due to it's lacking a buffer. I could synch the two players but often times the sync would drift. now with 7.0.1 i have almost continuous sync problems between the two players as well as a new problem- recurring rebuffering in both players even when they are playing in a solo situation-although it seems to occur more on the slimp3 which i would expect. When the players are synched, I push play and there's a 5-10 second delay until music starts. It then plays for a second or two and then stops for another 5-10 secs and then continues uninterrupted until it hits the end of a song. then the players go through a process of rebuffering, pausing and then usually playing the next song. this process of rebuffering, pausing and then finally playing seems to lesson as i move through a playlist but it doesn't go away. here's what the log shows: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: SqueezeCenter (7.0.1 - 17957) Connection: keep-alive Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 03:49:28 GMT Content-Length: 289 Content-Type: text/plain frame 6: (eval) (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Utils/Timers.pm line 198) frame 7: Slim::Utils::Timers::checkTimers (./slimserver.pl line 506) frame 8: main::idle (./slimserver.pl line 453) frame 9: main::main (./slimserver.pl line 1005) when playing from just one player, I also have rebuffering problems. this is something I have almost never experienced with my sb2 before. This is the log from one of the rebuffering hiccups: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: SqueezeCenter (7.0.1 - 17957) Connection: keep-alive Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 03:45:51 GMT Content-Length: 298 Content-Type: text/plain frame 14: (eval) (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Networking/Select.pm line 243) frame 15: Slim::Networking::Select::select (./slimserver.pl line 503) frame 16: main::idle (./slimserver.pl line 453) frame 17: main::main (./slimserver.pl line 1005) so that's a basic lay of the land. any ideas on how to move forward on troubleshooting? thanks in advance. I want to fall in love with the new and improved squeezecenter but at the moment it's driving me crazy. here's more log results for the single player rebuffering problem: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: SqueezeCenter (7.0.1 - 17957) Connection: keep-alive Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 03:55:52 GMT Content-Length: 290 Content-Type: text/plain frame 7: (eval) (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Utils/Timers.pm line 198) frame 8: Slim::Utils::Timers::checkTimers (./slimserver.pl line 506) frame 9: main::idle (./slimserver.pl line 453) frame 10: main::main (./slimserver.pl line 1005) [08-03-23 20:56:45.8103] Slim::Display::Display::parseLines (506) Error: lines function not using display hash, please update to display hash as this will be depreciated [08-03-23 20:56:45.8118] Slim::Display::Display::parseLines (506) Backtrace: frame 0: Slim::Utils::Log::logBacktrace (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Display/Display.pm line 506) frame 1: Slim::Display::Display::parseLines (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Display/Display.pm line 472) frame 2: (eval) (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Display/Display.pm line 472) frame 3: Slim::Display::Display::curLines (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Display/Display.pm line 186) frame 4: Slim::Display::Display::update (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Buttons/ScreenSaver.pm line 156) frame 5: Slim::Buttons::ScreenSaver::screenSaver (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Utils/Timers.pm line 198) frame 6: (eval) (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Utils/Timers.pm line 198) frame 7: Slim::Utils::Timers::checkTimers (./slimserver.pl line 506) frame 8: main::idle (./slimserver.pl line 453) frame 9: main::main (./slimserver.pl line 1005) [08-03-23 20:57:23.9828] Plugins::SQLPlayList::Plugin::executeSQLForPlaylis t (853) Executing and collecting: SELECT * from randomweightedratingscombined ORDER BY rand() limit 10; [08-03-23 20:57:26.5509] Slim::Display::Display::parseLines (506) Error: lines function not using display hash, please update to display hash as this will be depreciated [08-03-23 20:57:26.5553] Slim::Display::Display::parseLines (506) Backtrace: frame 0: Slim::Utils::Log::logBacktrace (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Display/Display.pm line 506) frame 1: Slim::Display::Display::parseLines (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Display/Display.pm line 472) frame 2: (eval) (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Display/Display.pm line 472) frame 3: Slim::Display::Display::curLines (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Display/Display.pm line 186) frame 4: Slim::Display::Display::update (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Buttons/ScreenSaver.pm line 156) frame 5: Slim::Buttons::ScreenSaver::screenSaver (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Utils/Timers.pm line 198) frame 6: (eval) (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Utils/Timers.pm line 198) frame 7: Slim::Utils::Timers::checkTimers (./slimserver.pl line 531) frame 8: main::idleStreams (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Web/Pages/Playlist.pm line 221) frame 9: Slim::Web::Pages::Playlist::playlist (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Web/Pages/Status.pm line 160) frame 10: Slim::Web::Pages::Status::status (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 1066) frame 11: Slim::Web::HTTP::generateHTTPResponse (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 939) frame 12: Slim::Web::HTTP::processURL (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 746) frame 13: Slim::Web::HTTP::processHTTP (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Networking/Select.pm line 243) frame 14: (eval) (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Networking/Select.pm line 243) frame 15: Slim::Networking::Select::select (./slimserver.pl line 503) frame 16: main::idle (./slimserver.pl line 453) frame 17: main::main (./slimserver.pl line 1005) -- exile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ exile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45348 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
