Thanks for your response pippin. Here is what I've done: 1. Re-started the LMS - tried both stop/start the service (without reboot), and then also rebooted the RPi 2. Installed the latest nightly build for 7.8.1 (1423565104) and rebooted the RPi
Unfortunately they have not made any difference to the startup time. I can also confirm that the server is not scanning - I have that scheduled to run overnight, other than occasional manual rebuilds which I initiate myself. And our router/broadband should not be a problem (24ms pings to MySqueezebox.com, and typically 75Mbps d/l and 17Mbps u/l). I can't speak for performance on the other end, but don't suspect any problems. Just to be clear, the app itself is displayed immediately - it's just building the content that takes time. The media list is displayed straightaway, but I believe that is cached on the device anyway so I'm not surprised. Next it determines the current playlist and displays that, also a "placeholder" for the current track artwork (but with a default graphic shown). Then it gets the correct artwork. And then some time later it works out the correct menu list to display. By comparison, I don't see the same issues with other controllers, but I am seeing the same problem on my wife's iPad (v2, also 8.1.3). Your comments about the less aggressive approach in iPeng 8.0.4 seem to be the more likely the explanation for what is happening. A couple of thoughts: - is it possible that we could have settings control over how aggressive the startup process is? The decision on whether we want to hit the server hard or not is then our choice to trade off one versus the other. - alternatively, would it be possible to cache the player details and refresh in the background, similar to the library media content?
