Music is interrupted by update message, "Updating DSP..."
Last modified: 2008-12-15 12:39:16 UTC
Periodically while listening to music on PQP2 Boom w/ fw 12, the music stops and when I look at the display it reads, "Updating DSP..." Is this expected? I'm guessing not.
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49034 explains when and why this happens.
You should not see that 'updating DSP' message any more. Delete any 'default.i2c' files in server/Plugin/ABTester/StandardImages, and/or delete any user plugins of ABTester. However, I'll leave this bug open, so to keep track of it. I think the right fix would be to allocate some DRAM, store the image there during download, then push it to the DSP quickly. -Caleb
Jim C. wants this fixed before shipping!!!
I continue to see this message. Using firmware 17.
and are folks who still see this deleting the default.i2c files per comment 2?
Actually no, I'm uninstalling and deleting the entire server install, then doing a clean install of a new nightly... which I imagine has the same effect. Currently running SC 21546 from July 7.
This isn't really a problem with the 'Updating DSP', it's more a problem that there is a drop and then a reconnect, and when there is a reconnect that should not cause a audio dropout, the DSP still reloads. How can we tell the difference between a benign dropout and a severe one? I don't understand why, sometimes when there is a reconnect, the music continues from where it left off, and other times, it goes to the beginning of the song. I don't think this one belongs to me -- perhaps Felix, Sean, or soembody on the server side would know better.
Caleb, this needs to really get resolved this week. Erland, Andy says that we're going to take out ABtester for now. You can still release it as a plugin or post about it on the developer group to talk about its future.
I don't think this one belongs to me. The 'updating DSP' message is just a symptom of some other disconnect-reconnect. Who should take it? The 'updating DSP' won't happen, since we're not releasing a default.i2c image, so this particular symptom isn't a problem. The deeper problem is the disconnect-reconnect that people are seeing.
I'll say it again. :-) This one doesn't belong to me -- it has to do with disconnects. Perhaps felix, or sean.
I suspect that this is related to the congestion/memory problem that felix fixed. We should see if these disconnect-reconnects still happen.
With abtester gone this bug should not exist. Andy to mark this as 'invalid' (or 'fixed') after that work is done.
Removed ABTester in change 22352. It can now become a 3rd party plugin.
