Re: [slim] RSS Display Jumpy
I've switched to a hardwire connection. No improvement. In fact, the SB3 wasn't even responsive to the power button. I've just downgraded to 6.5.4 to see if that helps. I've watched the CPU performance and to see if the Anti-virus was kicking off but CPU is idle 90+% an the antivirus isn't doing a scan. The SB3 is completely unresponsive to requests. If I power it down, the it runs through the setup as normal and once connected it slows to a crawl and stops responding. The RSS feed is working but the scrolling is jumpy and excessively slow, but at least it is the correct text. Thoughts? -- spc337 spc337's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14315 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43363 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I've experienced the same symptoms, which were caused by the server clock being too fast. As I understand it, the server disregards events that are older than 3 seconds or so. At first I thought it was a performance issue, but the CPU use was about 5% and when I controlled the SB3 from the web interface, it responded immediately. Have you tried to control the SB3 from the web interface when these lockups occur? I run SC7 on a ubuntu guest in a VMware server running on AMD64, so things are quite different from your setup. /grydholt ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

But if it is within earshot, you should be able to test it anyway :-) How can I control the server clock? The first thing would be to find out if the clock is running too fast. Open a clock window which display seconds and time it with a wrist watch or the like. I would be surprised if it is a clock problem since your setup seems quite common, but as I said, I had the same symptoms. /grydholt ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Please try the performance tests in the wiki page linked above as this gives some concete measurements of what the server is doing. Either start the server from the command line with --perfwarn=0.5 or follow the instructions for enabling performance monitoring and setting warning levels from the Network and Server Health web page. Post any output here which appears in the performance log as it may help explain what is going on. -- Triode Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43363 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] RSS Display Jumpy
The server is running XP with McAfee anti-virus. It has very little other stuff running, unusually clean for a MSFT box. I don't think it is the anti virus. But I can't be 100%. It's strange how the interface on the SB3 becomes unresponsive. Does the SB3 depend on the server for every click of the remote? -- spc337 spc337's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14315 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43363 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] RSS Display Jumpy
McAfee never used to like SS 6.5.x for me; on the ver I was running there was no way to disable scanning for file types or loactions; for example a rescan would take twice as long with McAfee enabled. There's better AV software out there, and most of it cheaper! -- moley6knipe 2 x SqueezeBox 3 | 1 x SqueezeCenter 7 | 1 x Win XP Pro SP2 | 1 x Happy listener :-) moley6knipe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10014 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43363 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Yes everything on the remote goes to the Server which then tells the SB what to do. -- Zaragon Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43363 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Once the SB3 scrolling slows down, so does the overall responsiveness of the SB3.

Given that the overall responsiveness slows down, that implies a server slowdown. This could be caused by a number of things, depending on the OS. Off the top of my head, I'd look at the following: For a Windows-based server, are you running an anti-virus package? When you see the SB3 performance drop, check to see if the AV software is running an active scan... depending on the package, AV apps can bring a system to a crawl. For a Linux-based system, I'd make sure there isn't a cron job running at the time(s) you experience the slowdown. Linux tends to be less CPU-swamped than Windows by most things, but tasks (like backups) that take bandwidth might be able to cause this. Can you provide some additional details? Perhaps someone else in the community can give you some additional areas to check, especially if they have more information. -= Jim -- JimC well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that. -- BKlaas' college buddy JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43363 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

What it indicates is that my wireless network is about to go away. This is usually followed by me checking the macbook to find that it's already gone. Between 10 and 16 networks in the airport list so it's a bit of a tough neighbourhood. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
