slowness when using multiple universes through one plugin

David Kuder · Mon Apr 15, 2013 2:36 am

I'm running into this issue when using ArtNet or OLA plugins, the first universe associated with a particular plugin is transmitting 50 packets / second, but adding a second universe on the same plugin drops to between 7-10 pps. If I have both ArtNet and OLA plugins active and setup with 1 universe each I'm getting 50pps on both. switch to two ArtNet or two OLA universes and back to the 50 / 10. Am I alone or is this affecting more than just me? Running 3 universes I get 50 / 10 / 10, and with 4 its 50/7/7/7.

Which OS are you using ?
What is your network configuration ?

Just tried on Linux Unbuntu 12.04 32bit using ArtNet.
Universe 1 on 13.0.0.x
Universe 2 on 192.168.0.x

Same output bitrate. No issue at all

Getting this on my low powered linux laptop, and my mac pro

Arch Linux on my Intel Pentium M Laptop
2.0.16.5/255.0.0.0

Mountain Lion on my Mac Pro (Dual Xeon Quad)
2.0.16.3/255.0.0.0

with Artnetominator http://www.lightjams.com/artnetominator/
running on Windows 7 x64 host
2.0.16.7/255.0.0.0

Eventually I'll be hooking to two AL-NET8PROs 2.43.2.5 & 2.43.2.7

Since you're getting full bitrate on two universes of artnet i'll have to dig deeper on my side and see whats going on.
