Hi,
For the past few months I have noticed that theater view is unusually slow when backing out of views and that cover art, especially for movies, gets stuck when viewing other movies in the file info panel.
Since it only happens occasionally this has been hard to pin down. I believe it only happens when the 4 3tb USB hard drives I have need to spin up either after waking from sleep or after long periods of inactivity such as after playing music from my internal SSD. It seems they only start to hum when these issues in theater view pop up.
I can totally understand if it takes MC 3-5 sec to open and play an mkv movie from one of the external HDs since I don't want them in 'active' mode all the time, but is there a reason why MC needs to access those HDs when navigating in theater view? Aren't all of the thumbs and other view data stored on the same drive that MC is running on which would be my SSD?
If there are any settings in MC or windows 7 that could affect this, please let me know.
Thanks
