One observation maybe not relevant, since the sqlite versions my servers taken a performance hit it hovers 100% cpu for almost a minute everytime Sqeezebox server starts ? every action that includes the dB seems to use a lot of cpu but not using much memory ? this was not the case with MySQL version

Please enable the following logs for Debug, then attach the log file to this bug:

player.source
player.alarmclock

Which version of Red Hat are you running?
What type of server do you have SC 7.4 installed on? (system specs please)
Where is the music stored? Same HDD as SC, 2nd HDD in the same system, Remote location?
Comment 2 Mikael Nyberg 2009-07-07 12:57:38 UTC
it is only based on red hat its a ClarkConect 4.2 server but the dropdown list does not have that, so i choosed the closest one.

The server has two drives one "Samsung Solid State Disc (SSD) 8GB 2.5" IDE
SAMSSD25-8" where the OS is installed and one" Western Digital Caviar GreenPower WD1000FYPS 1TB RaidEdition 16MB SATA2" where the music is so it is a local drive.

It's an mini ITX based around a "VIA EPIA-EN12000EG,EDEN V4/1200Mhz,SATA,"
with this RAM "1GB DDR2 533 DIMM for VIA CN/EN/EX & Jetway C7 & M72G"

Swap size is 1.87 GB

Will enable the suggested logging options.

Did not get any good logs for you yet, my server thought it was time for disc check this morning. so the experiment was a bit spoiled, I'll set up a test when i find the time.

One interesting fact, when i woke up my boom was indicating that it was using its backup sound for the alarm ? but it was dead quiet even when i pressed my ear against it ? probably the one minute bug.

Meanwhile my SB3 was perfectly happy and connected to my server.

partial log

Partial log all i could get for now, observe that i later in the log turned on the boom and listened to some tunes.
Comment 5 Mikael Nyberg 2009-07-09 08:17:45 UTC
I observed that between version 27423 - 27438 Random mix was actually broken ?
It worked in 27417 but with that version i got the bug described here.

So i upgraded to 27455 and now it works  !? as it should, for the firs time since i got my boom.

I'll do another check when i ( maybe :) ) wake up tomorrow.

Comment 7 James Richardson 2009-07-10 08:02:24 UTC
Thank you for verifying the latest SC build, looking at the log it appears that the alarm triggered properly and steaming events did occur to the player in question.

I'll mark this a fixed for now, if the error happens again, please reopen and attach another log.
