soundtrackgeek Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Seems like Music Box is very taxing when it populates the music. I have had it running for around 10 minutes and well, you can see the numbers below: The CPU is a bit troubling because it shouldn't use all of it. Sometimes I noticed my computer froze, but luckily it recovered. The memory usage is also very high, but I'm sure it will be optimized soon enough. Love the look of it and I'm excited to be a part of it. Keep up the good work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Thank you @soundtrackgeek, I will be looking into the performance of the music scanner. I assume once the music is done scanning it goes back down near zero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrackgeek Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Could be Never got that far. Crashes in mid-air, but I assume so too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrackgeek Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Just as a sidenote, I've noticed that it takes a while before it uses close to 100% CPU. The first 5 minutes it's between 10-20% then it goes further and further until it gets close to 100%, maybe 10 minutes into the scanning.

soundtrackgeek Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 I have 4 cores, 8 logical processors. When I turn off a couple of them in Affinity settings, I can get it down around 10% for each logical core I disable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Alright, so FYI, I've reduced the memory footprint significantly for version 0.5 that I just put out. However I haven't done anything to decrease CPU usage while the app is scanning files when files are added. Obviously doing that is likely to slow down the scanning process. It should go back down to near zero once the scanning process completes (which I realize was not completing for you previously, but hopefully it does now).

lordmonkus Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Does Music Box scan for added music every time it starts up ? Because it seems to take a while to show my music and if it does scan can we get a way to turn that off and have a button to scan for added content ?

Jason Carr Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 @lordmonkus Yes it does, though the scan goes very quickly once the initial scan is completed. We will add more options regarding that soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmonkus Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Ok as long as I know. Hopefully you implement the button to scan and have the auto scan on load up turned off after the initial install and setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
