  IPv6? 100% packet loss out, received audio cutting in and out
Posted by: kvstrong - 05-07-2020, 07:13 PM - Forum: Help with Network Gear - Replies (2)

I've seen others mention that IPv6 should be disabled in Manage->Networking->IP Protocol.  Is that the case?  

Last week our jazz guitar quartet had everything working fine, after both a gateway/router and computer reboot on my side.  In fact the latency was barely noticeable.

This week (last night), the other three were frequently seeing 100% packet loss from me, and I was hearing their audio cut in and out, mostly out.  I was also sometimes getting UDP blocked messages, which I had never seen before in prior weeks, and nothing had changed on my end, other than the two JKZ app updates in the past week.

Tried rebooting computer (MacBook Pro) and power-cycling my gateway/router.

I added UDP port forwarding on 12000-12010 to my gateway/router (AT&T Pace 5268AC) and enabled "Always use the same set of UDP ports" in JKZ.  Still the same, audio cutting in and out and the other guys seeing 100% packet loss from me.  

My Ethernet connection is via a switch, which then has a long run to the gateway/router (via in-wall wiring).  Tried switching to WiFi as a test.  Audio started working, though latency too long to be useable.  The WiFi router is connected to the same Ethernet switch as my computer.  Nothing making any sense.

I wondered if perhaps there was something else on my network causing UDP packets to be dropped.  I found this tool, https://iperf.fr, for running UDP speed tests.  Ran a bunch of different UDP tests to a public iPerf3 server in NorCal (I'm in SoCal), perfect, no dropped packets and easily handled 6 parallel 1Mbps streams in either direction.

The only other thing I can think of is the comments regarding iPv6 vs IPv4.  What difference does that make?


  Installing on Mac OSX 10.7.5
Posted by: Dennis B - 05-07-2020, 06:49 PM - Forum: Help with Mac Client Problems - Replies (2)

It says on the download page that Jamkazam is compatible with OSX 10.7  I have updated the OS to the latest security patch etc … have reinstalled JamKazam app- still no luck.
I'm using OSX 10.7.5

See attachment photo of error

Any ideas?

Thanks - Dennis

Hmmm - I just double checked and now it says 10.8 required .... 2 days ago it was 10.7 ... that really sucks!

  Please don't force execution of JK Win64 client updates...
Posted by: Seisiuneer - 05-07-2020, 05:17 PM - Forum: Help with Windows Client Problems - Replies (2)

Unfortunately, I've had to give up on JamKazam as of this morning because of it's insistence that it update itself on launch when a new client is required, with no way to exit.

There seems to be some kind interaction between JK and Avast Free Anti-virus on Windows 7 64-bit.  I can't prove it, but the behavior I've seen is consistent.

Every time one of these auto-updates launches, it locks up hard for me mid-update and I'm forced to manually power cycle the system. There is no way to kill the update process or even get to the Windows process monitor to kill the update process. 

I've had to do this many times now and it's very stressful knowing that I may destabilize the system every time I have to do one of these forced power cycles. 

I suggest please offering the option of just downloading the .msi file by default and let users manually install the update rather than automatically running it from the client.

If I manually disable the AV then do the update, it seems to be more stable, but the auto-updates don't give me a chance to quit the app, disable the AV and then run the updater.

Additionally, after the updates are installed using the manual .msi installer, please don't run the JK client, let the user run it on their own for the same reasons I list above.

While I appreciate that there have been near daily updates to the client recently to improve the product, the resulting chaos on my system just isn't worth the trouble anymore.

It's a shame because I have a configuration that has been working perfectly for JK, and I've actively worked to bring others on the platform.

It's just too disruptive for me to continue using until the auto-update situation is resolved.

Please consider offering the option to allow users to just download the .msi and install the updates on their own rather than attempting to auto update from the client itself.


Lightbulb White screen solved
Posted by: hunt - 05-07-2020, 02:46 PM - Forum: Help with Video Gear - No Replies

My system is a Windows 10 based engineering workstation. I had working video until about a week ago, but following an update to JK my video feed stopped working. While the light on my camera was on, my video window was white and blank, connected users saw my video as black.

I tried pausing virus protection. This restored video, and confirmed that the problem was in my virus protection settings.

The problem was caused by my virus protection software not recognizing JamKazam as a safe program. This causes the virus protection, in my case Kaspersky, to prohibit access to the computer's camera and audio. (Audio in this case would be the sound card, which i don't use.) Reclassifying JamKazam as trusted in Kaspersky solved the problem. It is possible that i will have to repeat this next time an update installs.

I hope this is helpful.


  Find Session in 1.0.3712
Posted by: RolyB - 05-07-2020, 09:16 AM - Forum: New Feature Requests - No Replies

Separate tabs is a good idea but not having chat language and latency rating will make things rather random.
I will only discover I'm joining a session with unacceptable latency in a language I don't speak when it's too late.
Please put these back into the search results.
Thanks

  Identify your instrument
Posted by: digitalDrummer - 05-07-2020, 02:26 AM - Forum: Help with Live Jamming Sessions - Replies (3)

With more people using Jamkazam each day, I would suggest that it's more important than ever to ensure that your profile includes your instrument. It's annoying finding a jam and then joining only to find there's already someone playing your instrument in the jam - especially if you're a drummer or a bass player. So, please update your profile and make sure people can see what you play.

Never seen this before.

  Record folder - one per session
Posted by: scott@bluegrasspilots.com - 05-06-2020, 08:49 PM - Forum: New Feature Requests - Replies (1)

I am getting a new record folder every time I record a session. This adds more work when I want to edit the videos. The list of folders is a mess.
