elmuziko Posted May 22, 2014 #1 Posted May 22, 2014 Folks, friends, I've been using Xpenology on ESXi since gnoboot's release, now i'm on nanoboot. I'm using an N54L with ESXi installed on a USB dongle. My datastore is an SSD then several WD drives for storage. I have a Intel NUC with an m-sata SSD and 4gb of RAM and win 8.1. I use XBMC 13 (now on 13.1 beta 2). Ever since moving to ESXi I've found movies occasionally stutter. Not entirely sure why, since coming across the problem xpenology has been upgraded to nanoboot, xbmc has been upgraded to 13.1 and the datastore has been upgraded from a crappy 5400rpm drive to an SSD. Any ideas why it's stuttering? I've just added a second NIC to my Xpenology machine incase the one is pants. Like I say I'm pretty sure it's ESXi at fault but everything I've read says ESXi has so little impact on the performance of the machine that it could be considered to not even exist as such. Thoughts and advice from fellow ESXi users would be greatly appreciated.
elmuziko Posted May 23, 2014 Author #3 Posted May 23, 2014 Sods law it's been ok today with XBMC debugging switched on. Are are you suggesting logs from else where? Thanks for advice so far
elmuziko Posted May 26, 2014 Author #4 Posted May 26, 2014 Happened again today three times whilst trying to watch 24 so switched on the debug log of xbmc (see below). I've posted the same thing on XBMC here (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=196211) Thanks 14:31:24 T:2780 DEBUG: Previous line repeats 268 times. 14:31:24 T:2780 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuity2 - was:2167033713.512924, should be:2167044231.475101, error:10517.962176 14:31:26 T:604 DEBUG: PERIPHERALS::CPeripherals::GetMappingForDevice - device (2548:1002) mapped to Pulse-Eight CEC Adapter (type = cec) 14:36:03 T:2780 DEBUG: Previous line repeats 55 times. 14:36:03 T:2780 WARNING: CDVDMessageQueue(audio)::Get - asked for new data packet, with nothing available 14:36:03 T:2916 WARNING: CDVDMessageQueue(video)::Get - asked for new data packet, with nothing available 14:36:04 T:2916 INFO: CDVDPlayerVideo - Stillframe detected, switching to forced 23.976024 fps 14:36:04 T:2916 DEBUG: CPullupCorrection: pattern lost on diff 208541.666667 14:36:07 T:604 DEBUG: PERIPHERALS::CPeripherals::GetMappingForDevice - device (2548:1002) mapped to Pulse-Eight CEC Adapter (type = cec) 14:36:09 T:2916 DEBUG: CPullupCorrection: detected pattern of length 1: 41708.33, frameduration: 41708.333333 14:36:12 T:604 DEBUG: PERIPHERALS::CPeripherals::GetMappingForDevice - device (2548:1002) mapped to Pulse-Eight CEC Adapter (type = cec) 14:36:46 T:1220 DEBUG: Previous line repeats 6 times. 14:36:46 T:1220 DEBUG: CDVDPlayer::SetCaching - caching state 1 14:36:46 T:1220 DEBUG: CDVDPlayer::HandleMessages - player started 1 14:36:46 T:1220 DEBUG: CDVDPlayer::HandleMessages - player started 2 14:36:46 T:3452 DEBUG: ------ Window Init (DialogSeekBar.xml) ------ 14:36:46 T:1220 DEBUG: CDVDPlayer::SetCaching - caching state 4 14:36:46 T:2780 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuity1 - was:2489494496.149154, should be:2446597710.199391, error:-42896785.949762 14:36:46 T:2916 INFO: CDVDPlayerVideo - Stillframe left, switching to normal playback 14:36:46 T:2916 DEBUG: CPullupCorrection: pattern lost on diff -42959291.666830 14:36:46 T:1220 DEBUG: CDVDPlayer::SetCaching - caching state 0 14:36:47 T:604 DEBUG: PERIPHERALS::CPeripherals::GetMappingForDevice - device (2548:1002) mapped to Pulse-Eight CEC Adapter (type = cec) 14:36:47 T:3452 DEBUG: ------ Window Deinit (DialogSeekBar.xml) ------ 14:36:50 T:2780 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuity2 - was:2450612933.501521, should be:2450590263.907123, error:-22669.594398 14:36:51 T:2916 DEBUG: CPullupCorrection: detected pattern of length 1: 41708.33, frameduration: 41708.333333 14:36:52 T:604 DEBUG: PERIPHERALS::CPeripherals::GetMappingForDevice - device (2548:1002) mapped to Pulse-Eight CEC Adapter (type = cec) 14:40:05 T:2780 DEBUG: Previous line repeats 38 times. 14:40:05 T:2780 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio - CDVDMsg::GENERAL_EOF 14:40:05 T:2780 WARNING: CDVDMessageQueue(audio)::Get - asked for new data packet, with nothing available 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: CDVDPlayer::OnExit() 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: eof, waiting for queues to empty 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: closing audio stream 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: Closing audio stream 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: CDVDMessageQueue(audio)::WaitUntilEmpty 14:40:05 T:2780 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio - CDVDMsg::GENERAL_SYNCHRONIZE 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: Waiting for audio thread to exit 14:40:05 T:2780 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio::Process - Abort received, exiting thread 14:40:05 T:2780 NOTICE: thread end: CDVDPlayerAudio::OnExit() 14:40:05 T:2780 DEBUG: Thread DVDPlayerAudio 2780 terminating 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: Closing audio device 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: Deleting audio codec 14:40:05 T:3440 DEBUG: CActiveAE::DiscardStream - audio stream deleted 14:40:05 T:3440 DEBUG: CActiveAE::ClearDiscardedBuffers - buffer pool deleted 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: closing video stream 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: Closing video stream 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: CDVDMessageQueue(video)::WaitUntilEmpty 14:40:05 T:2916 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerVideo - CDVDMsg::GENERAL_SYNCHRONIZE 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: waiting for video thread to exit 14:40:05 T:2916 WARNING: CDVDMessageQueue(video)::Get - asked for new data packet, with nothing available 14:40:05 T:2916 ERROR: Got MSGQ_ABORT or MSGO_IS_ERROR return true 14:40:05 T:2916 NOTICE: thread end: video_thread 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: deleting video codec 14:40:05 T:2916 DEBUG: Thread DVDPlayerVideo 2916 terminating 14:40:05 T:1220 NOTICE: CDVDPlayer::OnExit() deleting demuxer
