[GreenKeys] Arvada ITTY Feed

[Paul Heller]

I believe there are no existing problems with the feed. And as I said, the one I just fixed was always there since the dawn of ITTY. 

But it is helpful to know that this software exists to identify latency.

For example if the computer gets busy reading or writing a file while it’s also trying to play the audio stream, there could be brief gaps in the stream being played to the TU.

The utility displays bar graphs of measured latency over time.  If consistently green, then all is well.  But if occasionally there is a red bar, then that means the latency could cause a gap in audio playback. That means some other applications or processes are stealing time on the processor, and you would have to experiment with shutting down unnecessary apps. Unfortunately it doesn’t tell you which app, but the task manager could give a clue.
