Brain Freeze - multiple chromecasts when displaying slideshow #682

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Casting a webpage with a built in slide show for extended periods of time. 
(approx 4 hour time to failure)
2. Casting using an app that cycles through multiple different webpages. 
(approx less than 1 hour time to failure)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the webpage with a slide show of several JPEG files to display non 
stop.  Brain freeze message followed by what appears to be a device restart.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
H2G2-42 running 1.16.44433 on a mac mini running 10.11.1

Please provide any additional information below.

I have 6 chromecasts that all experience the same issues.  After casting for a 
few hours they all go to the brain freeze screen and restart.  This issue 
appears to occur both when app and tab casting.  I primarily use greenscreen 
(https://github.com/groupon/greenscreen) to cast to multiple chromecasts at a 
time loading an HTML page similar to the one pasted below.  This has only 
started to occur recently (since approximately the launch of the new 
chromecast) and was working without incident prior' casting non stop for days 
on end.  When app casting I am using a custom receiver to accomplish my goal.  
To lessen the likelihood of an app related issue I also tried casting directly 
from multiple tabs.  I created multiple users in Chrome and then cast 
individually from each one without the use of my app and the issues reoccur 
there as well.  Other users under similar circumstances are reporting the same 
problems.  To troubleshoot the possibility it was script related I used the 
greenscreen app to load different webpages in succession cycling every 15 
seconds and the issues occurred under these circumstances as well.

<html>
<head>
 <title> Office </title>
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300">

<script src="getimages.php"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

var curimg=0
function rotateimages(){
    document.getElementById("slideshow").setAttribute("src", "images/"+galleryarray[curimg])
    curimg=(curimg<galleryarray.length-1)? curimg+1 : 0
}

window.onload=function(){
    setInterval("rotateimages()", 5000)
}
</script>

<div style="max-width: 1260px; max-height: 700px;overflow:hidden;">
    <center> <img id="slideshow" src="images/image.jpg" width="auto" height="700"/> </center>
</div>
</body>
