Spinning wheel of death - 6.5
Hey guys,
So, since upgrading to SageTV 6.5 (Windows), randomly I'm getting the Spinning Wheel of death from my HD100 or my client PC when watching video. The interesting thing about this is, it locks up the sagetvservice.exe process on the server. When this happens, I canot kill the server process (End task refuses to ever end the task). has anyone else experienced this? I end up having to reboot the serverto fix the issue. It seems to happen every couple of days with normal client usage. My configured tuners are: HD-PVR (C2 with the first release of drivers supporting optical output) HDR-1600

You may just need to increase your server's (and possibly your clients) java heap size.
Here's a discussion: http://forums.freytechnologies.com/f...6&postcount=14 read through the next 3 or 4 post as well. Start, run, regedit <ok> starts the registry editor. EDIT: Most here set java heap to 200hex (256k) minimum. Quite a few use 300hex (512k). And one or two use 400hex (1m). should have been 200hex (512k) minimum. Quite a few use 300hex (768k). And one or two use 400hex (1m). The HD100 uses resources from the server's java heap.

hex math correction
Quote:
200hex = 512 decimal (2*16*16) (reports as 533 in SageTV) 300hex = 768 decimal (3*16*16) 400hex = 1024 decimal (4*16*16)

Thanks for catching this. 100hex is 256k, had everything shifted.

200hex = 2*16*16 = 512 decimal 512k = 512 * 1024 = 524288 How do we get from 524288 to 533k? I'm probably missing something obvious, but...

It has been discussed why it shows 533, but I don't think we have a definitive answer and most of us just really don't care (maybe Java has its own heap of say 21MB and therefore you take 512 + 21 to get 533 or maybe Sage adds an additional 4% to the overall storage as the true max?). I am not even sure what my 768MB heap states in Sage. I have never paid that close of attention (just looked to see it was over 750).

What might also be helpful is to list your RAM, OS along with your Jave Heap settings so people can know how far they can reliably go.
I am now sitting at 768M of jave Heap on XP Pro with 3.5 GB of RAM. I may go to 1024 if others are successful. |

Are you running XP 32 bit or 64bit? XP 32bit is limited to recognizing 3G.

![]() I didn't know that. I thought system info reported 3.5 GB's? |

But here says it's limited to 3G. And then there is this: Overall memory is 4, so if you have video and other type of memory that and your memory add up to 4G. + talks about PAE to get back your memory, don't know if this works. So, I guess we are both right and wrong at the same time??? ![]() ![]()
