Window refocus hangs
mwillems:
I'm not a log expert, but just browsing through it looks like there might be a problem related to autoimport. Are any of your watched directories on slow/external drives or networked drives? If so, how are you mounting them? Sleep/resume on Linux can cause mischief with auto mounted volumes. Auto-import can sometimes hang JRiver for a bit on other platforms when the drive it's trying to access is non-responsive. The CPU use may be related to analyzing files or thumbnailing as part of auto-import
Can you try disabling auto-import as a diagnostic test and see if that helps? If it does turn out to be auto-import related, that would explain why it only happens at intervals seemingly unpredictably.

Unfortunately I've already disabled running auto-import in the background and the issue persists. It's definitely only a problem during playback, but the issue is not limited to playback on a certain device. My media is on the same drive as the primary system right now anyway.
Jim, I didn't install a specific driver for my DAC. The issue persists through reboots and before and after removal of the DAC so although I have a small feeling it seems related I'm not anywhere near certain it's the cause.
I've moved away from Gnome in hope that it would fix the problem but unfortunately it is unchanged. It's actually more visible as the all the non-updating GUI elements (e.g. all but playerbar and a select few other chunks) don't load when I change to JRiver.
JRiver becomes entirely unusable when this occurs... which is daily. I'm considering changing media applications after many years of loving use :(

I did a completely clean reinstall of JRiver and the problem was 100% resolved for a week or so before returning. It appears to be getting worse as I run the program longer.
What can I try clearing or deleting that would build up over time?
My thoughts are:
- thumbnail caches
- library?
- logs are disabled but.. logs?
Also, my music is being stored on a FAT32 partition that doesn't support unicode yet a lot of the file names attempt to use UTF-8 characters and are broken from my transition to NTFS to FAT32. J River doesn't seem to realize that it can't use UTF-8 for renames on the partition. Possible factor?
Awesome Donkey:
This is likely an Arch issue, I'm thinking. Have you thought about reinstalling Arch?
mikeza:
Installing arch was a huge pain in the ass due to my unsupported FakeRAID. I guess I'd be better at it a second time but I really rather wouldn't do it :D
For those who care, I've resolved this issue by disabled thumbnail building on auto import. I'm 90% sure this is the source of the problem, why and how I don't really know.
