JRiver Media Center 21.0.90 for Debian (Wheezy) ARM

<< < (3/12) > >>

mwillems:
I'm getting a lot of crashes with MC for ARM.  This is on two separate vanilla Raspbian Wheezy installs on raspberry pi 2's.  It seems to be related to thumbnail building. 

1) Opening a view with a lot of unbuilt thumbnails will crash to desktop about half the time.  This seems to happen both when done in the GUI or through a remote (JRemote and Webgizmo both exhibit the behavior when the view would show a lot of unbuilt thumbs).   The "remote" case seems more likely to provoke the crash, though.

2) Running auto-import with build thumbnails enabled will also sometimes crash during the thumbnail building, but only after building for a little while. 

After several attempts I managed to get all my thumbs built, and it doesn't crash anymore, so my money is on something goofy in the thumbnailing.

What's going on here?  :D

Smashing my poor little Pi at 100% CPU for 20mins and still going??

Mega disk writes and threads running?

Had it crash once before it finished doing whatever its doing and its still going second time around.

Is it building thumbs or analyzing audio? Importing a library doesn't bring the thumbs over usually, so I typically have to rebuild when I update major versions.  Check reporter and see what MC might be doing, but my bet is on thumbs or audio analysis.

FWIW I've had lots of instability with MC 21 and my Pi's when MC was building thumbnails or doing any kind of importing activity, including quite a few crashes.  It gets better once all thumbs are built, but adding new media results in thrashing and crashes. 

I reported it upthread, and I've rolled back to MC20 on my more "mission critical" Pi's until this is sorted.
