MC26 on Ubuntu 18.04 Freezes

<< < (2/3) > >>

Awesome Donkey:
Definitely not seeing this in Ubuntu 20.04, Debian, Arch Linux, Fedora or Linux Mint.

ilektranik:
Gnome 3.28.2 and I like it.

2020.4.1 out on 08/06/2020. I'll upgrade then and see.

However the plot thickens. I have determined it only happens when DSP Studio Analyzer is running. I don't yet know about other DSP Studio applications. Or is DSP Studio all the same application?

Frankly, the thumbnail display and the Analyzer are the only reasons I pay for JRiver. It is literally the only non-open source software I run -  which says something about the developers I believe.

The Analyzer lets you see how the recording was mastered. Look at 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' and then 'Suzie Q'. Revealing. Remarkable.

Thanks for the interest and input. Will keep thread posted.

ilektranik:
And I just got a 19 MB MC26 update.

bob:
DSP Studio is part of MC.
It's interesting that you get the issue when the analyzer is running.
The windowing while that's up is pretty complex and I don't normally leave it running myself.
I'll do some testing and perhaps some other people using different desktops can give it a try as well.
I generally run XFCE for it's simplicity and lightweight footprint.
What's your video card?

ilektranik:
As stated above Analyzer is a main reason I pay for Media Center as opposed to say perfectly functional open source Clementine. I not only always want it running but find fault with the lack of integration with the main MC pane.

I don’t see any way to open or minimize them in unison. Analyzer also does not remember its screen position. Analyzer displayed audio levels could use some work. None of these were issues under Windows (I’ve had a complete break with Win at version 10 as it has arguably become malware.)

I realize the Linux implementation  is relatively immature. I was running the Windows version under Wine until MC was actually in a trustworthy Linux repository. I only accept software from well vetted repositories; those being a main reason you don’t hear about 17 year old Linux critical vulnerabilities.

I have no video cards anymore but use the on processor video. I find it power and heat saving and quite wonderful that except for gamers the money, space and resources need no longer be expended. With super thin SATA cables, NVMe on the motherboard and no video card the case is marvelously spare and uncluttered.

I can run my network HDTV card, an mkv movie in VLC, MC26 and Firefox simultaneously while carrying on routine uses such as LibreOffice at 1080P with plenty of headroom. Nothing stutters or hesitates except MC26s slight unresponsiveness (Which does not improve with everything else closed).

Watchin’ TV with the radio on. Over-provisioning rules.

All this in one box. That I have lived to see the day ...

I’m sure the developers are hard at work and all will be well by and by. Meanwhile we troubleshoot.
