Title: Strange UI delay problem since last couple of builds of MC11
Post by: kwake on February 13, 2005, 03:27:53 pm

Hi all, I'm thinking this is probably just a local PC issue, but I've noticed something strange ever since the install of build 190 or thereabouts (currently running build 193)...

Now and again, MC seems to freeze just before the transition to the next track. It will be silent for about 30 seconds or so, then proceed play the last couple of seconds of the song, and move to the next one.

Also, when changing volume with the mouse, I point and click but it doesn't 'grab' right away. After 2 seconds it will grab and I will move to the right (or left) but it doesn't move right away. After 2 seconds it then moves...you see what I mean.

Has anyone else noticed this kind of behaviour, or otherwise be able to suggest anything to check in my config?

Thanks in advance for any feedback,
Kwake

I think I just found the cause...Cover Art Updater plugin.

Uninstalling it (as well as the Cover Art Finder plugin just before) seems to have resolved my issue.

Note to KingSparta - were you aware of any issues on performance with your plugins? I'm not complaining, just wanted to make sure you're aware of any issues (I believe your latest MC 11 plugins are beta).

Cheers,
Kwake

I've had similar problems, though not as bad, more like 6s delays when gonig from one vis to another. And I do that a lot.

How do you uninstall cover art updater? I didnt see it in the plugin manager, and I never use cover art.
