In the mean time, and to shortcut other eventualities, here's that version that won't address non-existing cores. As how I see it now, I don't think it matters. So, just to be sure.

Paste the Engine3.exe in there over your current 0.9y-4 folder (not over older versions !).

Hi Peter,

These are some logs from the same CD with the advised settings.(post3091)
I'll try now with the sended core app. app.
Btw, I do have the feeling that changing prioritysettings makes a difference!

Gr,
Ed

Interesting ...

If you look between the ---- lines in the X3 log file :

12:01:29.2875534 Track ready to play ---------------------
12:03:22.3567901 Trackload started
12:03:22.3580401 Get file for track
~~
~~
12:03:24.1230672 Track ready to play ---------------------

you see that now the time needed to prepare a track "in that other process" I talked about, is 1.5 seconds or so, sometimes shorter.
This is to be compared wit your previous X3 log files, where this was 16 seconds. No, I don't say that this eliminates your drop outs, but I do say there was no other way than to have them with those 16 seconds.

All is tricky for judgement, because your elimination of Double/Arc also eliminates the processing needed for that, which is quite a bit. Also the file parts are relative short now (but the "quiet time" between loads is 2 minutes while it was 1 minute before nevertheless).

Yes, the priorities WILL differ, but I can't tell how when things workout wrongly in the first place. My hunch would be that nothing/nothing worksout better in your case, but don't forget to reboot AFTER setting that.

As said, this all may not eliminate your dropouts (yet), BUT I hope it is so much clear now to you how things work with the log files, that you at least can try to look yourself what actually changes what for the better. From there we may be able to see where the real culprit is.

Allright, now this is clear, just go back to the Arc Prediction and other settings from before, but keep in mind those priorites you may want to play with (and notice that only at setting to nothing from a "not notthing" requires a reboot; all the other settings can just be done without).

So, starting off at the 120 Split size (which is nicely preserved in your earlier post and attachments), you may now decrease the 120 to 60 (half hehe), and look for the results in the X3 log file. Does the 16 seconds from before (in between the dashed lines) decrease ? if yes that is good (and it should decrease more or less linearly), but if well under 14 seconds, you can't receive dropouts from *that* (and before you observed that nothing changed at decreasing the Split size, which I now use for a base). Does it NOT change and the 16 seconds remain, there is a "priority" problem, or task devision problem between the cores otherwise.

Hey, you said you liked tweaking ... here you go ...
hahaha

Hi Peter,

Though I tickeld my computer deader and leaner than I ever did , most gain was found on the settings page of XXHEND itselves!
Playback suffers sporadicly from attemps to halt, trying to give up, but doesn't do so afterall. So the longer stops are about gone!
I could not lay a finger on the real cause of the stops, it has no relationship with processorspeed I am affraid. It takes 0 to1% of the proc. energy while playing from memory unattended or attended.. Maybe it has more to do with the amount of calculations the Atom 330/945 can do in a timespan. I don,t know really.
Think Í'll have to try a core 2 duo with a different chipset. But I hope you will find a way to get XX lighter in such a way that more computers can deal with all its merits.
Here are the settings I work with rather satisfying right now:

Double-Arc Prediction
Volume -6
Playerprio. :LOW
Treadprio. :NOTHING
Dac is :24/192
At 16 bits Dac needs 32bits
Stop services
Split File size: 120
Start engine during conversion
Q1,2 3 4 5  :  4,0,0,0,0

Cheers,

Ed

but I don't understand anything of it !


Then, I miss the OSD stuff in your list. Is it On now ? (while the time does not display, as I understand from the other topic ?)

Hi Peter,

Stop laughing you plague and timethief!!! Hahahahahahaha(this is me laughing)
The sentence meant: sometimes you can hear the difficulties in the playback proces, but not resulting in a dropout. Stays a little cryptic maybe but it is how I feel it. I do not have stops anymore. At least with doubling/arc pred. With quad, stops are back...
Coverart is shown as walpaper, height:470, thumbnail cachesize 470
At attended (but does not show up)

that's all......

Hi Peter,

I have been quiet for a while. But it does not mean I could solve my (music)stutter problem computer-wise.
So my solution for the time beeing is playing double/arc instead of quad.
It runs smootly on double.

However, following one of your early comments, trying Q1/8(or higher) in stead of Q1/4 has influence indeed on the occurrance of the hickups with quad/arc
Raising to 12 or higher, the pauses stop beeing there! So there is a relationship.
Resuming here are the solutions:

1) Playing with the priority settings and
2) Changeing the Q1 setings to a higher level.

Looking forward to y5?
Cheers for now, and thanks for your help,

Ed

Hi Peter,

Still another addition to my last post...
Since I raised split filesize from 100 to 120, I had no pauses anymore, but.... a lot of times music stops in the last part of the last track of a totally played disc. (settings:quad/arcpred.,attended)
Raising the filesize to a higher figure such as f.i. 125, cures the premature stopping, but brings the pauses back!
Just a litlle more brainfood...

Best,

Ed
