| Summary | 0013897: Prioritize what to load from database when viewing a Playlist in Browser View | ||||
| Description | Select a complex multi-level AutoPlaylist that also contains Child Playlists using Browser View. This was done after just starting MediaMonkey. What seems to be happening is that MediaMonkey is loading the Child Playlists (they start showing Artworks one-by-one) before it loads the selected AutoPlaylist (their Parent) even if child Playlists are not part of the Parent AutoPlaylist. It would seem better that as-soon-as-possible the Filelist belonging to the selected Playlist is shown, then continue with loading additional Child Playlists. (the test AutoPlaylist took 3.15 to show files, a full 2 minutes longer than MM4) | ||||

Loading of child playlist is a very fast task (no complex SQL) so this shouldn't be the issue. Could you please wrote me which auto-playlist in your database takes 3:15 (2 minutes longer than MM4) so that I can analyze what is the real reason for the slowness? |
|
|
Ah, I've probably got it. By testing on your database I noticed that the auto-playlist query SQL is really executed even without opening the auto-playlist. Once debugged I found that it is called because of getting thumbnails (so that MM5 knows based on which tracks to created the 3x3 image collage grid). Assigned to me to somehow optimize it in the browser view as it really significantly slows things down for complex auto-playlists. |

As discussed over IM with others: Because the 3x3 image collage probably isn't useful for auto-playlists and can degrade battery, tracks loading and the first time user experience (in case of such a complex auto-playlists like ~38888) then the conclusion is that collage will be shown only for simple playlists and for Auto-playlists there will be the "Find Image" approach. i.e. for auto-playlists "5 Starts" it will show 5 star image, for auto-playlists "Car" it will show image of a car. We can add the collage back as an addon (if we find it as missing by users) |

Implemented in 2062 I left the 'Find image' also for ordinary playlists just in case user wants to replace the default collage. Michal will implement 0013988 so that user can select the image from HDD also. Now the "Car" auto-playlist in LowLander's database loads in 4 seconds (2x faster than in MM4). |
