[GiGaBlue QUAD+ PLUS] Frequent 'pauses' during playback.

[leshay]

Try doing a couch flash/usb flash of Vix 5.3.002 followed by a settings restore. Some GigaBlue-specific data in /etc/sysctl.conf seems to have been dropped in previous releases and has now been reinstated (thanks @twol). It provides for some extra memory headroom, similar to what cacheflush was doing. I've been testing the amended settings for a couple of weeks now (without cacheflush) and have had no issues with playback.

Hi
Decided to give it another try in light of your post suggesting a fix may be included.
So far, I haven't seen the initial issue of 'stuttering/freezes etc' again. Early days yet,but seems to be OK now.

Do you mean use Menu > System > Software Update ? That tells me that I'm on the final 5.2.x release

Is there no 5.3.x for the Gigablue Quad HD ?

Not talking about software update - menu/setup/Vix ------>>> settings backup and ImageManager

5.2.045 is the last image for your receiver. ViX no longer supports the Gigablue Quad HD.

@steveharman - It seems that the GB Quad image (not Quad Plus) is not being built for 5.3
I'm not sure what the memory specs are for the Quad, but you could try editing the /etc/sysctl.conf to set vm.min_free_kbytes=8192 (or maybe a lower figure like 6144 or 4096).
