Hi All,
I love keeping up-to-date with the latest, but I am having so many issues with V5 and wondering why as V4 was perfect on the same hardware.
I find the Interface much slower than V4 and with regard to the sound, I thinnk V4 was better but why.
Anyway, during playback, the interface is laggy, so I went looking.
I did a TOP command and this came up.... CPU constantly begin used over 200% by Chromium.
Here is the information from the TOP command:
Here are my versions I'm running:
Linux RPi 4.19.34-v7+ #1211 SMP Mon Apr 8 22:56:37 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
Kernel 4.19.34-v7+, Raspbian 9.6, moOde 5.0 2019-04-12
I have a Raspberry Pi 3, with a HiFiBerry Digi+ hat. I have an official Raspberry PI 7" screen attached and connect at the same time via Chrome (tried MS Edge too) on a Windows 10 PC also. I use SDHC Sandisk 16GB SD Card.
Music is streamed from a QNAP NAS (I dont stream internet music), via Ethernet (which is also another issue as I use to stream it over wireless, including hidef Flac files and never had an issue. However, with V5, I cant stream these hidef Flac files at all. The buffer cannot fill fast enough, yes even when changing the buffer size).. Nothing has changed with the wireless either)...
I dont connect to the PI any other way other than through the Web interface.. No BT, UPNP, AIRPLAY, etc.
As mentioned, never had this issue with V4. CPU usage rarely got over 15%.
When I updated to the sub releases (5.2 I think), then the system (web interface) would freeze constantly (would take 10 minutes for the system to be ready to start playing a song), although the sound played eventually and would keep playing, but the interface would not update.
I dont want to go back to V4.
Any ideas of what to try?
Thanks All,
Rob
