Description eap 2009-10-02 05:53:53 UTC

Scrolling text (song titles and artist/album) on the Duet Controller slows down after the controller has been used for a while. I do not have a definitive answer as to exactly when this occurs -- but it looks like after 30 minutes or so the scrolls begin to get less smooth (jerky) and eventually become painfully slow -- as slow as 1/2 a letter at a time.

I'm not sure if its tied to any behavior (like switching back and forth between local and Internet; or between different feeds) or if it just time related or perhaps battery power related?

A temporary work-around is to reboot the controller.  However, the issue eventually returns.

Note that this refers to the controller running 7.4

Richard/Tom: have you heard of this? does the beta firmware fix the issue?

Thanks for looking into this, but I don't think bug 14162 is the same.

I do not notice slowness issues with volume or anything else when this occurs.

Just the slow text scrolling.

Have you tried 7.4.1 yet?  Is the issue you are reporting solved in this version?

If not, please reopen the bug and comment based on 7.4.1
