RE: streaming videos from home network to raspberry - Banyailaci - 2013-06-06

I have a Realtek PCI GBE Familly Controller and indeed it seem to be the source of the networking problem. I thought previously about Norton 360, bu now I can exclude it. I have installed on the same PC (same HD) also a Linux (Ubuntu 12) and it smlilarly refuses the connection to the Laptop, while other ssh connections work well.
It maybe, that the same defekt causes my bufferings to the pi!?
Thanks for your comment!

If I read you right the Realtek driver above is for a wired connection, not wireless?
If so (and if driver update doesn't work), I would also try disabling Auto negotiate link speed (set it to 100MB/Full duplex). This has worked for me with Realtek adapters in the past.
RE: streaming videos from home network to raspberry - dandnsmith - 2013-06-06
There are some Realtek chipsets used for networking, both wired and wireless, which have given problems to a whole lot of people.
I first came up against one of these for a wired ethernet controller used with Win7, and then discovered that it was also giving trouble with Mint/Ubuntu. Having found the 'fix' for that chipset, I checked with my other PCs and found another, rather older which was being troublesome in a minor way, which I also fixed.
The sort of thing which happens is that the network stops communicating (for no apparent reason), and cannot then be woken, or takes some non-obvious stimulus to start it again.
It's rather pointless for me to go into detail - better to google using the proper chipset number, as the effects and cures vary quite a bit, and drivers have, in some cases, been updated.

a) I have just copied the term to a file, however I am aware, that line-end and other errors might have occured. Please give me detailed instructions how to do it better. I know neither Code: tag nor pastebin.

You can copy the terminal output to the Clipboard in PuTTY by simply selecting with the mouse, then paste into this post surrounded by [code] and [/code ] tags so that it doesn't lose its formatting.
OR
go to a site like pastebin.com, paste the details there and post the URL here, that way the thread doesn't become cluttered with huge amounts of data that few people will want to read.

b) The video run to his end.
[/quote]
The CPU is still pegged at 100% all the way through, along with HUGE iowait figures, even after the network activity ends (which presumably signifies the end of the video?), so what else is using all your CPU and causing all the heavy IO? If I didn't know better I'd say your system is busy doing something SD card related (reading and/or writing), your system is certainly not "idle" at the end.

I include here a new run of [code] ./bcmstat.sh -x | tee capture.log [\code]
The video starfted approximately at 12:18:36 and ended at 12:19:36 . The programm run further an I had to stop it.
I run afterwards a top, but could not see anything strange.

RE: streaming videos from home network to raspberry - Milhouse - 2013-06-06
Fix your code tags! Change [\code] to [/code] although uploading to pastebin would be the better choice in future.

Unfortunately those times you quote bear no relation to your capture. All I can see is a CPU that is pegged at 100% load ALL of the time, with a huge amount of IOWAIT ALL of the time which suggests SD card activity (most probably writing). On my system, LAN steaming causes little if any IOWAIT.
There is either a problem with your installation, your SD card, or something else is causing all the CPU/SD card activity and impairing your ability to play back video. As I suggested before, have a look at "top" and see what is using all your CPU, it may not be xbmc.bin.
RE: streaming videos from home network to raspberry - Banyailaci - 2013-06-06
I will look top again and for a longer time.
On the other hand, I dont know if you saw the comment of OnyaBike related to not being able to do ssh from the PC to the laptop. He had similar problems due to the defect network controller. I supposed initially that the problem is caused by Norton360. However after the installation of Ubuntu 12 on the same computer, I had the same problem under Linux.
Can communicate with any adress, but not with the laptop.
As you say, that there is a lot of IOWAIT activity, may be the defect controller causes it!?

I suppose the IOWAIT on the Pi could be due to the Pi LAN controller having to re-send or wait for packets due to faults in the PC NIC or its driver. Certainly, the behaviour of your Pi looks abnormal, but until you sort your PC network problem out there's probably not much point continuing to investigate the Pi, which is most probably not the guilty party anyway.
What's also interesting, and this could be a bug in the script but I don't know why that should be the case, is that your Pi is SENDING (Tx) a lot more data than it receives (Rx) which might suggest that the network is behaving horribly, with the Pi having to retransmit vast numbers of packets. At the command line on the Pi, type "sudo ifconfig" and paste the results here (use the correct [code] tags please!)
RE: streaming videos from home network to raspberry - nickr - 2013-06-06
iotop may assist too.
RE: streaming videos from home network to raspberry - Banyailaci - 2013-06-07
I think I have misunderstood the way to put code tags. As You may have seen, I preceded the code with "[code]" and ended with "[\code]".
It did not affect the output!
By the way, it is funny, that from the laptop I can do ssh to the Ubuntu on the PC, but not the other way.
RE: streaming videos from home network to raspberry - nickr - 2013-06-07
you end with [/code] not [\code]
RE: streaming videos from home network to raspberry - dandnsmith - 2013-06-07
Ah! The Windows confusion between / and \ strikes again!

Updating it solved my particular issue. Worth a look?
I have a Realtek PCI GBE Familly Controller and indeed it seem to be the source of the networking problem. I thought previously about Norton 360, bu now I can exclude it. I have installed on the same PC (same HD) also a Linux (Ubuntu 12) and it smlilarly refuses the connection to the Laptop, while other ssh connections work well.
It maybe, that the same defekt causes my bufferings to the pi!?
Thanks for your comment!
I think you need to investigate your PC NIC further, can you stream from this PC to other devices without issue? If not there are a few things to check, firstly update your driver!
Also from a quick google search on problems with that NIC:
Disable 'Interrupt Moderation', deactivate 'Large Send Offload', disable 'Energy Efficient Ethernet' and 'Green Ethernet'

Hope you get it working, can be quite frustrating!
RE: streaming videos from home network to raspberry - Banyailaci - 2013-06-08
Fortunately, this problem was solved. As I learned it from the Ubuntu Forum, Xubuntu 11 does not install the full ssh server on laptops.
One has to install it from the software repository. After I have done this, it works without problem. I have now still to configure a firewall.
Therefore, this had nothing to do with my streaming problem to the pi!
