If that is your experience, then Greg's suggestion is curious! :)  Good
to know though, thanks :)  We'll see if my mate can help with that bit.

It's deffo not the remote (well, I'm pretty sure) - I have tried hiding
it after a key-press, and the same thing sometimes happens (though I
can't predict when it will happen).  Also, having "hidden" the remote, I
also only see a single event recorded by IRW.  I've also tried 1 x
original Squeezebox 2 (classic) remote, 1 x Squeezebox 3 remote and also
my Harmony (which I usually actually use), and it happens with all
three.

I can understand having held a button down for a long time, Jivelite (or
all the layers together) struggle to keep up, but the worse problem is
when you tap volume up or down once and it just keeps going (and other
button presses don't stop it).

Also, I have noticed that occasionally, it doesn't respond to the remote
at all, so you end up pushing lots of buttons, and then at some point,
it springs back to life, and all hell breaks loose as it seems to
process all the "missed" button events all at once (I'll see if I can
"trap" that with irw)

I don't pretend to understand it very well, but would using the
real-time kernel make any difference, or raising the priority of lirc
(or other process) with nice, have any effect?  (to be honest though,
irw seems to show the button press events themselves, to be fast and
reliable, so perhaps it's the later layers causing the delays?).

Overall, the CPU of the Pi seems to be almost completely idling,
regardless of what Squeezelite/Jive and pcp are doing.  When it's
behaving itself, it's perfectly snappy enough and responsive, but when
it's not happy, it takes a good few seconds to sort itself out and you
have to be patient and wait for it to settle back down.  It's not ready
in this state to pass the WAF just yet... ;)

Thanks for the great work regardless, it's a great thing and just the
collection of components I've been waiting for since Logitech killed off
the range in 2012, and also since I helped test the early beta's of
Squeezelite... :)  v4 really does seem to have everything you could
want, covered and provided in a very easy and convenient GUI package to
control and setup everything!

Cheers,

Matt.
