Let's brainstorm..Setting up MinimServer to feed a USB DAC

[PeteManchester]

Hi Ciprian,

Great, thanks for providing these log files..

I've just had a quick look at the logs, but unfortunately I am working away from home so can't do any testing.

For the 32 tracks, I can see the start of the tracks being added at 12:23:08

Code:

2013-12-18 12:23:08,923 [Thread-10] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] DeleteAll Adapter: 192.168.1.110 uriPrefix: http://192.168.1.110:52821/device-Lounge-pi1-MediaRenderer/Upnp/resource/ Version:1
2013-12-18 12:23:09,268 [Thread-7] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] Insert After: 0

And then at 12:23:18 the last track seems to be added and BubbleUPnP then reads the list.

Code:

2013-12-18 12:23:16,926 [Thread-10] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] Insert After: 31
2013-12-18 12:23:17,122 [Thread-7] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] ReadList Adapter: 192.168.1.110 uriPrefix: http://192.168.1.110:52821/device-Lounge-pi1-MediaRenderer/Upnp/resource/ Version:1
2013-12-18 12:23:17,126 [Thread-7] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] ReadList Contains : 32
2013-12-18 12:23:18,752 [Thread-8] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] ReadList Adapter: 192.168.1.110 uriPrefix: http://192.168.1.110:52821/device-Lounge-pi1-MediaRenderer/Upnp/resource/ Version:1
2013-12-18 12:23:18,768 [Thread-8] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] ReadList Contains : 32

That would suggest that MediaPlayer completed adding the 32 tracks in about 10 seconds.

For the 55 tracks the first track starts to be added at 12:28:37

Code:

2013-12-18 12:28:37,001 [Thread-7] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] DeleteAll

And the last track is added at 12:28:55 which would suggest MediaPlayer completed adding the 55 tracks in about 18 seconds.

Code:

2013-12-18 12:28:51,244 [Thread-8] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] Insert After: 86
2013-12-18 12:28:51,664 [Thread-7] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] ReadList Adapter: 192.168.1.110 uriPrefix: http://192.168.1.110:52821/device-Lounge-pi1-MediaRenderer/Upnp/resource/ Version:1

2013-12-18 12:28:55,149 [Thread-9] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] ReadList Contains : 55

For the appending tracks, I can see 6 tracks being added

Code:

2013-12-18 16:05:10,650 [Thread-5] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] Insert After: 0

2013-12-18 16:05:11,776 [Thread-3] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] ReadList Contains : 6

Then a delay and more tracks being added

Code:

2013-12-18 16:06:41,918 [Thread-4] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] Insert After: 6

2013-12-18 16:06:47,572 [Thread-3] DEBUG [org.rpi.providers.PrvPlayList] ReadList Contains : 23

In BubbleUPnP there is a setting called 'Use Eventing' in 'Settings/UPnP Tweaks', what do you have that set to? Can you also try testing with it set to the opposite value please.

If you test with Kinsky or Asset Control do you experience the same delays when adding tracks and can you see the playlist being dynamically updated when another Control Point updates the playlist?

The MediaPlayer ReadList method returns an xml result to BubbleUPnP, maybe there is something not quite right with the xml I create, although it seems to work with other Control Points.

I will do some testing when I get home..

Thanks again,

Pete.
