Responsiveness Issues

(1/3) > >>

Hi,
I’m having some responsiveness issues with the Linux version (only the Linux version).
I have a rather large music library, Switching tracks during playback by double-clicking on some random track can take a very long time sometimes up to a whole minute to make the actual switch.
This does NOT happen when switching tracks using a remote control like Gizmo.

The top right search box is also very slow to respond – typing itself is delayed quite considerably and even clicking inside the box to make it active usually takes two or more tries.


Running Debian 10 buster (same thing happened on Stretch).
Any idea?


*Still waiting for a Gizmo update. It keeps on crashing after a while.

Yeah, this search behavior is very inconvenient. Devs says that is WM/DE related, especially in KDE.
Though I didn't experienced so long track switching issue.

Yeah, I don't see either issue at all in Gnome on Arch Linux.  Can you provide some more details about your debian setup?

scrutinizer:
Well I am indeed using KDE but what about it can cause such behavior only with JRiver?

I also noticed that after track has been switched it takes an additional 30 seconds to a minute for the cover art on the bottom left to reflect the playing track.

Minimizing JRiver window and reopening it often results in a blank white window which again can take up to a minute to redraw properly.

I'm using Debian (amd64) on a Kaby Lake I7 Desktop with 32gb ram and Nvidia (proprietary) drivers.
The same thing happens on my thinkpad (t470s running debian with intel drivers) to an even worse degree.

Mike Noe:
CAn you try a wayland session instead of X?  Last Plasma update (5.6) enabled Wayland support (EGLStreams) for nVidia proprietary.  You might see different behavior with MC running in XWayland.
