Morning Pippin,

Another recent observation - and possibly an idiosyncrasy of my iPhone
and/or Network/LMS Environment - but I have noticed a strange lag many
of the times I open iPeng that affects the quick access bar along the
bottom. I have this customised, so mine reads: *New Music | Artists |
Albums | Genre | ...* (and my '...' more list is also sorted into a
custom sequence). The issue happens about 75% of the time when I first
open the app (e.g in the evening after work and its the first time I've
used the app that day):

What happens is it opens with what I am assuming is the default sequence
showing (although I haven't recorded it each time to verify its the same
4 options every time, and on a couple of occasions I have had a very
abbreviated list showing in the '...' more section) - and not my
sequence above - and then after a delay of anything from 10 to say 90
seconds it updates and adopts my custom sequence. On the odd occasion it
hasn't updated after about 90 seconds so I close the iPeng app and
reopen it and it has my correct sequence on opening. Everything works
fine from then on and its only the first time each 'session' - I can
close and reopen the app as often as desired after that and it will
immediately have my config showing.

I have only observed this since implementing my new QNAP HS-453DX NAS
with QLMS and building a new library on that. Because it's fanless and
relies solely on the heat sink for cooling I have it do maximum power
saving (hibernation/sleep) to keep the activity low when not actively
listening to music (to minimise the processor temperature). So I am
guessing it's caused by the lag from the 'wake on LAN' or similar being
initiated by iPeng, when its trying to connect to the library on the
NAS? But, should this cause the effect on the iPeng UI (i.e. is it
reliant on the library connection first before it adopts the user's
custom config) - or is it unrelated and might be a minor issue with my
iPeng App (e.g. needs a fresh reinstall)?

Many TIA.
