HD300 responds slowly

[Media Quest]

New Windows 10 x64 install, and my HD300s are responding very slowly. I get the swirling donut for 5-10 seconds sometimes when I navigate the menu (SageMC STV) and it can take a second or two to jump forward or back 10 seconds.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Are there media directories full of shows/DVD's that are importing or is this system completely fresh? If SageTV is busy importing it may be causing lots of disk accesses and will slow things down.

Also there is a setting related to photo loading that some have found to help resolve circles (at least where photos or movie posters are loading).

The sage.properties setting is in my post here:

I don't have a solution because I have the exact same issue.

What are the values for JVM Heap (found on the Setup -> System Information screen) ?

Post a copy of the sagetv_*.txt log files (captured within minutes after the spinning donut occurs) to allow inspection and go beyond guessing at the problem/solution. In your posting, tell us the approx. time the issue occurred so we can correlate it to a timestamp in the log.

The txt file was too large to attach so I truncated it to ten minute period but it was still too large to attach so I will paste the ten minute period that includes the spinning circle issue which happened at ~9:56.

Well... even when I cut it down to a two minute period, it is still too large to paste or attach.

How would you suggest I get the file to you? (I have forgotten how to share Dropbox files.)

Oh, let's try it with OneDrive - https://1drv.ms/t/s!And3oqMOSdYIiIJ3Ff7vly3Db0vo2Q

Looks like you've allocated plenty of JVM heap space, so no problem there.

Easiest way to post your logs is to zip them up first.

Looking at the log, the most relevant events are:
@ 9:44 - "Countdown to Kickoff" starts recording from Silicondust HDHomeRun Tuner 1074B30E-3
@ 9:56:36 - recording ends
@ 9:56:37 - Comskip finished processing the recording
@ 9:56:38 - Hang Detected (lasts for about 8 seconds)

When Sage-x64 (and plugins) was installed, was a COMPLETELY clean installation performed (as opposed to installing on top of the existing .properties files and x86 plugins) ?

Do the spinning donuts occur when no Sage plugins are installed?

Yes, it was clean install on a new machine... with no other major programs installed on it.

I don't know, I am unsure about uninstalling all the plugins to find out.

I have the same problem with my new build. Hd 300 very slugish. If I select my old system it works fine, So I know it is not the HD 300. Jvm is, used 330 mb/ Total 434 mb / Max 3729mb
Any info would be appriciated
Thanks
