Continuous Buffering
-
I have updated to the latest version of Strawberry, and I am still getting the buffering issue. It will play for hours and stop. At the bottom of the screen, on the status line, it says: Buffering 0%. The number never increases from zero. If I click stop and then play, it will take off and play for a few more hours and stop again.

@rlkeeney Any clues in the system log? Maybe leave 'journalctl -f' running in a terminal, and Alt-Tab to it, when the next lock occurs.
-
@jonhd I just started 'journalctl -f', hopefully this will catch something.
-
@jonhd Nothing in the logs. It ran 49 minutes, then went into continuous buffering.
-
I configured the Strawberry buffering to "0ms," which seems like it would turn buffering off.

@rlkeeney
Is it local files or streams? If local files, do you play them from the local HD, or remotely? And what audio format is it? -

They are played from an internal SATA hard drive.
The audio format is MP3.
I play MP3s using smart playlists 99% of the time. The only time I don't use a playlist is when I am playing something new and unrated.
I have all three scrobblers enabled, along with the cover search, although I really don't need this, as I rarely look at a cover.
Pretty much everything else is disabled, including the analyzer and mood bar, which I see as useless.

@jonas Strawberry stopped playing again with the buffering set to 0ms.

@rlkeeney
Try setting low watermark to 0.10 and buffer duration to 8000 -
@jonas Done.
I have it looping on a long play and running 24/7.
