Slight video pause on server
I am noticing a slight video pause on my server that happens at regular intervals. Looking at the task manager the pauses (maybe 1/2 sec) happen when there is a temporary spike in CPU usage(nearly 100 %). Most of the time I use about 30-40% for all of the server including playing video but this spike seems to occour at regular intervals and would seem to be related to the video pause. Does anyone know what sage may be doing at these intervals and how I might minimize the CPU inpact.
Lain (PS - I am using 64K block size for the HD and I am using Mlbdude's STV) |

Is it happening on the hour or half hour? If so it's probably the file changing.

No. This is way more frequent than that (every 2 to 5 minutes). I am aware of what you are talking about. The screen wil go blank for a second. You really see this with sports that go longer than the guide says. I think that the solution (only time will tell) is to manualy up the process priority to high in the task manager. I tried this and will watch some baseball tonight to see if it is corrected. It would be good if we could set the priority within Sage (feature request).

One thing you might want to try is Reclock. In a nutshell, it adjusts the audio/video playback speed to match your monitor and avoid dropped frames.

I'm bringing this back to the front because I finally had time to really look at it more. The actual period was 10 minutes like clock work. It appeared to correspond to the screen saver timeout. I changed that setting and the period follow it. Doesn't make sense. Could anyone please explain how the screen saver timeout could effect the CPU so much.

It should not, I have never seen that. This did exist in a beta though - you running the latest release?

Mlbdude,
I am running the latest release Edit: I tested this again and the period changed right along. Do you remember what beta had the problem and if there is something in the properties file related to it. Maybe Narflex could chime in if he sees this. Last edited by ldavis; 08-22-2004 at 04:05 PM. |
