Frequent freezes
mkolmar:
As I outlined, the freezes sometimes escalate to a crash. By crash, I mean MC terminates immediately.
Windows Defender is configured as described a long time ago.
Should be able to test using a USB drive. I strongly suspect network storage contributes to the problem. For example, you should be able to make Windows Explorer itself do the blue circle and go grey by trying to access a network path that is not available. MC may be at the mercy of whatever nonsense Windows OS is doing in this kind of situation.
Does MC read the audio files at all if one is only browsing the library? Assuming thumbnails were already created, not doing import.
JimH:
If you have auto import set up to watch a network drive and, for any reason, it's unavailable, bad things can happen. MC asks the OS to do its job, and if the OS can't, you could definitely see what you're seeing.
Try a local drive, not a USB drive, with a small test library, to see if you can reproduce the problem.
JimH:
Did you try the Weird and Wonderful thread?
Here's an example of a similar NAS problem: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=104047.0
mkolmar:
I was able to crash MC after the fresh library, during single-folder import, had grown to about 50,000 FLAC files on a USB drive. Most users wouldn't click around as aggressively as I did for the test, but I did crash the app by doing that on purpose.
JimH:
Crash or freeze?
Local test?
