Also in the BETA repo.

24.0.32-4 (6/5/2018)

1. Fixed: On some systems we couldn't open the ALSA hardware devices.

24.0.32-2 (6/3/2018)

1. Fixed: Covert art thumbnails were not working on some platforms.

24.0.32 (6/1/2018)

1. Changed: Licensing on Intel platforms. Will require re-entering license key again.
2. Fixed: ALSA, the audio device descriptions would not line up with the device name when there was a default device in the list (no description).
3. Changed: ALSA change the order of hardware parameter settings when opening the device.

24.0.31 (5/29/2018)

1. NEW: Implemented the startup options for linux. Works with any desktop manager.
2. Fixed: A memory leak in the ALSA driver.
3. NEW: Implemented the internal browser. Needs testing.

24.0.28 ( 5/14/2018)

1. NEW: Added info to the Reporter Advanced Information showing the system memory and free memory.
2. Changed: For Linux ARM, disable multithreaded drawfast code (used in resizing) until neon is fully implemented.
3. Changed: For Linux ARM, cap maximum threads and weight for thumbnailing until neon is fully implemented.
4. Fixed: Linux ALSA output device, wasn't configuring local zones other than the default zone properly.
5. Changed: Updated the gtk dependencies from libgtk2.0 to libgtk-3-0

24.0.26-2 (5/10/2018)

Note this build will NOT resolve cover art thumbnail issues on non-debian distros.

This build stop to work with my Gina 3G and with build-in-audio soundcard :

Error: Playback could not be started on the output 'ALSA' using the format '44,1 kHz 2ch'.

This output format may not be supported by your hardware. You can use DSP Studio to change the output to a compatible format.

Also, make sure that your system has a valid sound playback device and that it is properly configured in playback options.

But still works with usb device.

Since the device names are offset now you should recheck your selected audio device.
Post what you are using here.

What about debian distos? I'm having the issue on Mythbuntu 16.04.4 LTS. Using 24.0.28 until its fixed.

Failing playback on my alsa direct devices (HDMI and DP) for this version. I checked the device selection and it appears to be using the correct dev (I tried all of the HDMI connections). Alsa default thru Pulse works.

Try HDMI 1, the descriptions were off by one place for devices when there was a default ALSA without a description.

No joy. I tried selecting every single HDMI input listed. Now, this is actually a DP with an active DP->HDMI converter to my amp HDMI input. When I hit play, it gives the buffering.... msg, then back to idle (no playback)

What's "DP"?
Turn on logging, look for ALSA in the log and note the failure here.

I'm starting to wonder if this has something to do with the webkit stuff and gstreamer.
I assume 24.0.28 worked on your box Mike?

What gstreamer packages do you have installed ?

Hendrik · « **Reply #20 on:** June 04, 2018, 12:36:23 pm »

All audio/video dependencies through the browser are entirely optional and on-demand, which means if you didn't actually play any audio through the browser, those gstreamer audio plugins would never have loaded.

Mike Noe · « **Reply #21 on:** June 04, 2018, 12:39:36 pm »

Hmm, yeah. So, yeah, 28 worked fine. This box does get updated frequently, but that's just QT/Plasma5 git. There is also the obligatory tumbleweed updates.

The about box for audio backend (phonon) shows gstreamer 4.9.0, fwiw.

The gstreamer package shows 1.14.1

The gstreamer runtime is libgstreamer-1_0-0, version 1.14.1

I'm having a hard time figuring out what else could be the issue.
It's failing on some totally generic calls to setup the device.
I wonder if we are running into some more private symbol issues with the libraries linked into mediacenter24?

Alsa playback and thumbnail display are working fine for me on the latest beta

Bob - Doing some more testing with that memory leak related to "auto sync with server" from a while back. I found a way to trigger an increase in memory on demand: when I press the refresh button at the top of the album view on a client with auto-sync enabled, MC reliably increases its memory usage and does not relinquish it. It is repeatable if you wait five or ten seconds between presses. So that (I think) confirms its something in the client server stack, i.e. something in the clients' interactions with my windows MC server instance, but I'm not sure what. This is repeatable on Debian and Arch. I managed to get a fairly minimal log of me hitting the refresh button and watching the memory increase, not sure if it will help:

Let me know if you can think of anything else that would be useful to log.

Alsa playback and thumbnail display are working fine for me on the latest beta

Bob - Doing some more testing with that memory leak related to "auto sync with server" from a while back. I found a way to trigger an increase in memory on demand: when I press the refresh button at the top of the album view on a client with auto-sync enabled, MC reliably increases its memory usage and does not relinquish it. It is repeatable if you wait five or ten seconds between presses. So that (I think) confirms its something in the client server stack, i.e. something in the clients' interactions with my windows MC server instance, but I'm not sure what. This is repeatable on Debian and Arch. I managed to get a fairly minimal log of me hitting the refresh button and watching the memory increase, not sure if it will help:

Let me know if you can think of anything else that would be useful to log.

Looking at this now.
One thing I see in your log that looks odd is the monitors description. Can you explain how they are setup?
For example I have this:
0011967: 120699392: General: JRMonitor::UpdateInfo: Screen width = 1920 height = 1080 x = 0, y = 0, rrmode = 72
0011967: 120699392: General: JRMonitor::UpdateInfo: Screen width = 1920 height = 1080 x = 1920, y = 0, rrmode = 72
You have two 4k monitors and one is turned on end?

Also, do you see a registration check in the log for each refresh?

I have one 4k monitor and one 1080p monitor which is rotated; Gnome doesn't support mixed scaling with NVidia graphics cards, so I use xrandr to either upscale the 1080p monitor or downscale the 4k monitor depending on the application/situation. It's a pain, but I don't have a second 4k monitor yet

I'm pretty sure that the monitor issue is unrelated as I see the same "memory leak on refresh" issue on an intel compute stick plugged into a plain vanilla 720p monitor, and also on a raspberry pi with no actual monitor.

Yes, I do

Yes, I do

I checked in there and it seems good but can you try without sync turned on and see if it still does the registration checks please?

Ok, I still see the registration checks without auto-sync on, but strangely, I also see some memory growth with auto-sync disabled but only when clicking refresh. I previously hadn't seen any memory growth with auto-sync disabled, and I still don't see any passive memory growth with auto-sync disabled. Refresh seems to cause memory growth regardless of the auto-sync setting.

So to summarize what I'm seeing on multiple clients:

With auto-sync with server enabled: Gradual increase in memory used just leaving Mediacenter open. Playback leads to faster memory increases.
With auto-sync with server disabled: Increase in memory used on clicking refresh, no passive memory leak with mediacenter sitting idle.

So far what I'm seeing:

In the log, minimal use of the registration helper, 8 invocations total.

During playback of 20k very short files as a media server client with memory playback off:

No increase in the number of file handles and sockets used.
Refreshing with sync on does no network activity with the MC server.

Running gapless track transitions, I see only a few calls to the ALSA driver setup code in the log.

Under top it DOES seem to slowly increase memory usage with each track played. I plan on trying the null device which should bypass the ALSA code in a while...

Edit: The null device does the same thing so it's not ALSA.

Edit2: but if I turn off sync I have no memory growth.

That sounds a lot like what I'm seeing, so you've mostly reproduced it, which is exciting! Thanks for hanging with this.
