UI Framerate Issues

(1/5) > >>

LilyAarseth:
I still have major UI framerate issues even on .50 on Mac Mini M1. The only time I can get stable 60 fps scrolling is when I shrink the window to the smallest allowed, but when it is nearly fullscreen (2160p w/1440 scaling display) it becomes very choppy and is closer to 5 FPS. Like mentioned before I've noticed that it doesn't seem to use any GPU/HW accel and might be only using a single CPU thread to renderer? I would love any help to try to solve this because it's very uncomfortable to navigate like this.

Edit: Also since I came to the mac client album art gets reset back to small in the album/artist view no matter how much I scale it to the size I want, it reverts back if I press F5 or restart the client. This didn't happen on windows and the client's customization was synced to that of the libary server it was connected to.

Can you explain what you mean when you are comparing scrolling to video frame rates?
You aren't going to get video frame rates when scrolling. There are dozens to hundreds of windows within the view you see while scrolling a bunch of albums, etc not one window like a video playback.

LilyAarseth:
Compared to scrolling in a browser or other apps that syncs to the refresh rate of the monitor, jriver stutters/lags significantly. Sorry I'm not good at explaining.

bob:
It will never be as fast as an app with a single window.
The main standard view window in MC is a window containing many windows including every line of text.
When one is using a retina monitor with scaling, all of those windows are being scaled by MacOS in realtime simultaneously.
You can see that if you turn off retina scaling and use native mode or run on a non retina monitor.
Scrolling even tons of items (say album covers) there is very very fast.

LilyAarseth:
I did try on non retina resolutions and it still was laggy. So the M1's hardware simply isn't powerful enough to render and there is no way to optimize it?
