Hi *<br> <br> As 0.26 seems to be released, I want to share with You my over month of experience with 0.26.<br> My sys is quite standard: headless BE + 3 ION1 diskless FE + 2xOSX FE<br> BE in on AMD880G with E235 CPU (2x2,6G, 35W), 4G RAM, 2TB WD green for OS/DB/Movies, 3TB WD Green for recordings, 4xDVB-S2 tuners on Unicable, 1xDVB-T.<br>
<br> Upgrade:<br> I upgraded from highly stable 0.25.2. Compiling BE was snap. With FE I had glitch related to cross-building zeromq (I'm building 64bit FE image on 32bit host). Adding compiler -fPIC option solves issue.<br>
Upgrade went without any problem - only thing worth to mention that DB upgrade is loooong (mine took 10min or so).<br> Generally - after packages preparation I was up & running within 10min.<br> Polishing took 2-3 evenings (i.e. there was change in xml status date format so I have to adapt my scripts, etc).<br>
<br> First look:<br> Ppl using 0.25 will feel like in home. I haven't time to play with i.e. with HLS, but MythMusic Internet streams playback is HUGE thing for me !.<br> I would say 0.26 is pretty safe for ppl don't liking learning new UI/features.<br>
<br> Daily use:<br> As I want to be sure system is stable, initially I run some stability tests: beside 20-30 daily family records I scheduled 36 test recordings rules triggering up to 16 (8HD+8SD) parallel recordings. <br>
After 2 weeks of tests I can say: 0.26 is far most stable release I had. <br> I'm conservative type of user (preferring stability over functionality) so I must say I'm really impressed with 0.26 stability and performance (i.e. 16 concurrent recordings on single SATA attached WD3TB is absolutely no problem; gives avg 45% load on CPU & 15-25% IOwait). <br>
Some time ago I post on users mailing list about high BE RSS consumption (1-1,3GB when recording 16 parallel streams.). This issue is solved by applying hunk4 from ticket11061. <br> During month of operation I had single segfault on BE (also described on users ML), but absolutely no any other show stoppers - so in my case 0.26 is really best ver. ever.<br>
<br> If anybody is not sure go or not with 0.26 - I strongly encourage You to go.<br> <br> For devs I want to say huge _TTHHAANNKK YYOOUU_ for Your incredible work !<br> <br> -br <br><br></blockquote><div>Thanks for the info and feedback, I didn't even know 0.26 had been released, nothing announced on dev/user list/website, just checked the wiki, that is up-to-date and showing yesterday as release day. SO guess the announcement will be out soon.<br>
<br>Will try and check this out at the weekend!<br><br>Cheers <br></div></div><br>
