Re: JRiver Media Center 29.0.64 for Debian Buster Freezing and buffering
« Reply #1 on: June 24, 2022, 05:59:05 pm »

Hello:
I was planning to report this issue for 29.0.60, then this 29.0.64 was released.
mkvs buffered but no crash.
Flac would suddenly stop in the middle of nowhere.
During this freezing, I will check to make sure network wired was on.
Also made sure wireless was on. My wired show.. 1000 mbps, and wireless 1300 mbps.
So network was not the issue.
Uncharted mkv buffered at the 23.44 mark.
Ambulance 4k buffered about 28. 33 mark in the movie.
Could this freezing or buffering be caused by a hardware accel, or video issue?
Is the gpu not supposed to have full video processing duty ?

Thanks.
George

What are your video settings under options?
Legacy or JRVR?
Is graphics acceleration checked?
What is your video hardware?

What is your video hardware?
Hello:
I have JRVR option.
Hardware acceleration is enabled.
Nvidia rtx 2080 ti with nvlink.
Nvidia driver 510.73.05
NVML version 11.510.73.05
NV-Control Version: 1.29
Mobo.. Asus ROG black Edition.
CPU Intel 6950X
Memory: 128 gig.
Under video setting, what setting should I be looking for ?, it is very broad.

at one point, was there a discussion regarding gpus handling video processing ?

Thanks.
P/s: I was not able to attach a log to this initial writeup, so I have to send you a log  directly.
Did you see any red flag in my log. ?
