The Media Center Menu list in MacOS Media Center always refresh moretimes

liu_xp2003:
When I opening the Media Center in MacOS, The application menu list will be auto refreshed frequently. This is a bad experience.

Could it be resolved in this release?

I may face the same issue on High Sierra. Please see attached screenshot.

I don't know what the OP was reporting.

I looked at your screenshot tyler.  I think I see 4 or 5 MC icons.  If these are all bouncing, these are MC helper threads that are importing your files.  This means that auto import is still running and adding/analyzing files in the background.  This probably explains some of the unusual behavior you've been reporting.  Generally speaking, I only see these bouncing icons when Video files are being imported.  That's not a guarantee; just my experience.

Now, if you don't have several bouncing icons, I'm not sure what your screenshot is showing us.  Maybe you can give some more details.

I'm not sure either if my issue is similar to the OP's, hence I wrote "I may" and included a screenshot. This way he can also comment if it's the same issue or not. If it's another issue an admin can split the topic.

Yes, you're right I suppose. They're bouncing for a split second or so (probably only during import). So I guess that's intended. What's the reason? Does MC open up instances when importing? Could those icons be hidden?

Yes.  MC opens extra processes in order to read the contents of the files and determine their file type, compression, etc.  For video files, it's also generating a thumbnail to display, which requires it "rendering" the video into a still image (thumbnail).  I think they probably do this so that the main MC process isn't totally frozen during the import procedure.

I have no idea, but it's actually helpful to have them there.  It tells you that importing is still happening.  You should NOT see this after all of your files are imported.

I think you probably have one or more bad files that are hanging up MC on import.  Disabling auto import is one way to test this:  Tools > Options > Library & Folders > auto import > run auto import in background > (unchecked)

Good luck.

Brian.
