Do you get any errors on the terminal? (Specifically GL error 505)? I will try and reproduce your issue. Thanks for reporting the problem.

So it runs normally, then gets slower and slower and usually the colors on the title strips change. Then it crashes and throughs those errors.
The errors just stop after some time and it goes back to prompt.
Will be doing a fresh install today to test.

2 years ago That error means the GPU has run out of memory. You can increase it by running sudo raspi-config, then changing the memory split in the advanced options. I recommend at least 256, but you may need to increase it further.

2 years ago Okay great thanks.
I did have it on 256mb, have increased it now.
But what I find weird is that it works fine for a few hours. Then gradually goes slower until the crash. When i first start, the memory usage and everything looks great.
Will advise, have just increased and leaving it to run again.

2 years ago Ok thanks. Maybe I have a memory leak. I'm on holiday next week, but will try and reproduce the issue when I get back.

2 years ago Hi there,
I took the attached screenshot yesterday and was going to post. I would say there is a memory leak. The old version I could leave my jukebox running for weeks, but this version I find it crashed easily within a day. I also have 256 set for memory. I could start timing it, but will wait for you to check..

Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely focus on assuming a memory leak then. I won't be able to work on it for another week or so, but please if you have any more information I'd gladly take it on board.

Difficult to pin an exact timeline down, but I'm looking at the issue now and it's my top fruitbox priority.

2 years ago i only put in 100 songs and didn't play anything. I then just let it sit on the indiglo theme for about 4 hours and it froze up. not sure if its related to the software or not. it did not do the glgeterror I think it could be related to the number of pages it has to generate for the number of songs. Would be interested in knowing if there is a limit to the number of songs to add to the music. the first guy had 2000 songs. maybe if you put in 500 or less it won't crash.

2 years ago Happy to test as my new installation with v2 crashes each day if just left unused, so it certainly appears to be a memory leak... I can give more details on the screen and number of songs, but at this time it's nothing unreasonable.
MickeyKnox
commented
2 years ago but are you using indieglo? I'm wondering if its the skin. I haven't used any other.
the install with only 100 song lasted 18 hours on a loop of 6 songs. so its not the number of songs.
Things I am going to try.
Current setup.
Raspberry Pi 3b+ (there is a shortage going on) 32mb MicroSD card.
using your recomenations here "For Raspberry Pi versions Zero through 3"

2 years ago I'll submit some un-released skins once you fix it Mike. LOL
I'm curious what part of the skin is contributing the most to the slow down and crash. Is it the sequence of jpgs for the record spin, the multiple different colored title strips or a combination of the two? For what it's worth, my pi 400 will run for days and days with one of these skins selected with no issues. Have we hit a memory ceiling with the pi3s?

2 years ago Hi Jay
Sorry I've been a bit slow the last couple of months...recently changed my job and house still being renovated so have been a bit distracted. I've put some Debug into my code now so will begin looking into the possible memory leak. If it is a particularly skin causing the issue then it still is the fault of fruitbox not the skin, as fruitbox should be able to handle (or gracefully moan at) any skin config. I'll keep you posted. On a different note, I have a nice video clip of a jukebox record loading (like Wurly but a different machine), if you fancy working your magic on that?

1 year ago Hi Mike.. been waiting for this memory leak a while, so very excited to try as my installation has been crashing daily..
Went through the menu right now with Tab and can get the v2.04 to download, but there is no restart menu and if I power off and then power on or do sudo reboot then it still load v2.03. Is there another recommended method to do this or is it a bug as I don't want to ruin my installation.
Thanks for this.

1 year ago That's weird, it should download the new fruitbox executable into rpi/fruitbox or rpi4/fruitbox (depending on which pi you have), and then in the fruitbox directory there should be a soft link called fruitbox to it. Try going into the rpi or rpi4 directory itself and typing. /fruitbox --version, to see if it's 2.04. If so, then the softlink in the fruitbox directory is wrong

1 year ago That's downloaded it OK. Have you manually changed the softlink?
Go into the fruitbox directory and type
ls -al
...the fruitbox entry should point to rpi/fruitbox. If it doesn't, do the following...
cd /home/pi/fruitbox rm ./fruitbox ln -s rpi/fruitbox ./fruitbox
Then run fruitbox in the current directory (by typing ./fruitbox --version) it should be 2.04

1 year ago Can confirm your instructions worked mike.. not sure how it got this way, but will test again if 2.05 is necessary... for now it is running 2.04 and will keep an eye on things.. Thanks
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the amazing piece of software you have provided us.
I have a raspberry pi 3 b and running version v2.03
I'm using the indieglo skin
Have about 2000 odd songs on it.
I noticed that the titles trip auto turn time gets slower after a while. Then the titles will get a weird color change and the. Just errors. After that it crashes.
When I load it up it runs smoothly again until about 3 or 4 hours later when it crashes.
Anything I can check out for?
The cpu and memory are at about 20% range. This happens when nothing is playing.
