23.0.21 (7/17/2017)

1. NEW: Implemented thread priorities. When running as a normal user requires system configuration to work. Falls back to non-prioritized threads if the system is not configured to allow prioritization.
2. FIXED: Memory leak in Linux thread parallelizer.

bob:
Note that these builds all require Jessie at a minimum.
The AMD64 build will eventually require Stretch when we can get some issues with the GCC 6 compiler ironed out.

This build (23.0.21) implements thread priorities on linux.

The linux box must be configured to allow non-root users to do this. The easiest way is to add the following line to /etc/security/limits.conf


--- Code: ---@audio - rtprio 100
--- End code ---

This assumes the user is the audio group which on debian is allowed access to the raw audio devices (and which your user ought to be a member of).

A different method (if you didn't want to allow the whole audio group to be able to set priorities) would be to specify the existing MC user like this:


--- Code: ---bob - rtprio 100
--- End code ---

You need to log out and back in for the change to take effect.

Interesting, how do we know thread priorities is working (after making the changes to allow it)?

There are a couple of ways:
ps -T -eo pid,tid,class,rtprio,ni,pri,comm | grep mediacenter23

Or run install and run htop
