Can't open playlist editor after running for a few hours

[Scott Doorey]

HI All,

Firstly thanks to Denny and all contributors for a  great program!

I've been having issues with alpha 6 where after a few hours i'm unable to open the playlist editor. clicking on it just results in a blank window opening. 

if i start fresh it works fine but it seems after a few hours this occurs. .

I've also found that sometimes channels seem to "stick" to the left or right channel and the talkgroup name will stay locked in the GUI. This seems to sometimes prevent that talkgroup from streaming to my icecast server. A restart of program usually fixes all issues. 

Running on Win 10 fully patched machine with 8GB RAM.

any ideas?

thanks

Scott

Guessing that you are running out of java heap space. What does your log show ? You can also try lowering the sampling rate of your tuners.

the log doesn't show anything obvious. is there a more verbose logging mode? 

i increased the RAM allocation from 1 GB to 4GB but this actually seemed to make it more unstable. channels started locking on in display and other strange behaviour.

I also noticed that.
Of course a restart of the program helps.
Another thing that helps me is not to keep the Playlist running all the time. I open it only when needed, and close it right away.

I have a laptop with an Intel i3-4005U running at 1.7GHz (Win10) and I have to be very judicious about clicking that Playlist Editor button, because it means 15-20 seconds of cardiac arrest for that poor machine while it loads everything. Sometimes talkgroups get stuck in “Teardown” mode on this busy P25 Phase 2 system during that time.

 

As soon as I save all my edits I stop SDRtrunk and restart it to give everything a new lease on life.

 

This is on SDRtrunk 0.5.0 Alpha 6 FWIW.

I have alpha6 running 24/7 on a Linux box, but I have not run into this issue (although I rarely use the playlist editor.)  The machine is restarted when updates require it, but other than than it is more or less untouched except to look at the data produced by the dongle (airspy in this case) or to tweak the ppm.  I recently upped the ram to 16GB, and with nothing other than the desktop and htop running, the machine is using over 7GB.  I'm pretty sure there is a memory leak somewhere....

thanks, i've thought about giving it a try on linux. maybe this is the reason to have a go!

i'm using alpha6. i didn't have this issue in 4/5. 

i changed the sampling rate as suggested above and it seems to have stopped the channels locking on but still can't open playlist editor or any settings windows after running for a few hours. 

no change in program logs when opening windows during the problem condition.

In Windows Task Manager, go to the Details tab.

 

Add “Commit size” to the displayed columns (and get rid of those other useless columns while you’re at it), then click on that header to sort by Commit size. See what the memory hogs are. That’s one of many diagnostics that can lend insight.
