Troubleshoot Network? Pauses/Hangs?

Featured Replies

Not positive of the issue but think it might be network related.

 

Starting to have occassions where the playback of media files just hangs for 1-5 seconds and then when it starts again it looks like it FF to new spot. If I go back, it plays fine until the next pause.

 

Trying to figure out how to troubleshoot & resolve this issue.

 

Playback file is on the unRAID server.

 

It has just recently began past couple days. Sometimes great response, sometimes this pause/FF.

 

WAF is taking a beating

I have to agree with the network idea.

 

I used to get exactly that behaviour when I was streaming HD video content from my unRaid server to my media player over PowerLine Ethernet. Even dvd isos could be a bit picky. Once I switched to Gigabit, all my pauses, stutters, inability to FF or RW went away...

 

What sort of network are you running? Also, if your network is wireless, it could be a neighbour's wifi battling with yours (or a new microwave messing with your signal)...

What did you do to troubleshoot/verify that the issue was network related?

Any logging I can turn on at unRAID or somewhere else to troubleshoot the issue?

 

Also running SABnzbd/Sickbeard on unRAID....could that be causing problems either with network or overworking cpu?

Disk spinup can cause similar issues, even if not on the disk with the movie, but on the same spinup group.

 

Are you seeing network re-transmissions? errors?

 

ifconfig eth0

will show you some statistics.

All disks are in the same spinup group.

Does that command show cummaltive values? or does it reset at particular times?

In other words, is the above info good for when I had the issues last night or do I need to do the command when I'm having the problems?

I think the values are since you last booted.

root@Tower:/mnt/user/SABnzbd/downloads/complete -> uptime

13:23:21 up 24 days, 22:19,  1 user,  load average: 0.57, 0.44, 0.47

 

ok....which value indicates re-transmissions?  from the output of the ifconfig eth0 it looks good as far as I can tell.

Is that correct?

 

I know a little unix but not at this level. Good enough to script some but not SA type work/troubleshooting.

 

Appreciate you insight Joe

These two lines show the statistics:

RX packets:1987244594 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

TX packets:1820859173 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

There have been no errors or dropped packets.
