VB now raping my processor
« on: August 22, 2015, 04:50:32 PM »
Its literally wiping it clean. Its making the jukebox go deathly slow. Any ideas?

I only have VB and the touch screen software running. Its becoming almost unusable.

Just to add, it WAS scanning my music folders very quickly but all of a sudden it takes about half an hour. Nothing changed, all the same. The drives in use are now within the PC and not networked. I have set the hard drives to not sleep.

Hi Shakes

What OS is it, whats the spec of the PC... ?
ram, cpu speed, graphics card memory.

Had a bit of a check lastnight at work and although vb is stalling, cpu isn't crawling. Infact it's maxing at 25% so I was assuming the cpu was laggy and we all know what happened to the guy who assumed?

I can't pinpoint what's going on, the only other thing I can think of is the size of the video files. Averaging 80mb each.

The system is a dual core processor wwith 4g of ram. W7 2 drives. Music being on the second internal drive.

The size of the video files should not affect playback, not sure what you mean by 'stalling'.
Videobox has been tested for cpu usage so that shouldn't be a concern, your PC config looks ok but you didn't mention the graphics card which is important and does affect performance.

You should keep in mind also that the problem may be caused by another program or background/hidden service on the target PC (we have found this before with antivirus programs etc).

Im unsure, Im here now so can mess bout for a couple hours.

I have no anti-virus installed. Ill get the mouse on it and message you from the jukebox and provide screenshots. But in the meantime I will do a video of it stalling.

Thanks for your help

Decided it was easier photographing the screen.

Here is a couple of pics of bits and bobs. There is a video uploading to youtube about the stalling.

The example of this is, I hit any button and it freezes. Like its stuck and don't know what to do. I got as far as filming it freeze for 2 minutes before I gave up. The video would have been too long. No matter what i do VB won't work. I press the service button and nothing.

I hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and everything else is working fine?

Its bizarre that its only been doing it since I've uploaded the videos to it. Like I said before, if I scan music it takes about an hour just for the 500 songs on there, before with about 400 it did it in about 10 seconds. Its probably something simple, it always is.. just stumping me this one.

You might be onto something with the videos, I didn't realize you were scanning only 400, this should not take an hour...

What sort of videos are they, can you zip one up for me to try ?.

email sent.

I did realise though that it has slowed since I removed all of the track art? Would that do it? Should I add art to it all again?

Ok Matt, i downloaded a video (cool website, we should tell everyone), and it plays perfectly without hesitation.
I realized that it cant be the video because your pc seems to lock up before showing the track confirmation slider :-?, what did you mean with 'since I removed all of the track art' ?.

Try setting title cards to traditional, does that help ?.

Does the PC have an internet connection ?.
