Hi,
I've noticed something slightly strange with my setup.

I run LMS8 on a win10 server, I also have Squeezelite-X on the same
machine for occasional control/config etc, although essentially the
server runs as headless with minimal intervention.

I noticed that the performance of the server was slower than normal and,
upon investigation, I found that Squeezelite-X was running as a
background task and was hogging ~65% of the CPU time, meaning LMS was
slow to respond and often timed out on commands.

I found that if I run Squeezelite-X on the server, and then close it (by
closing the window with the X in the top RH corner), it doesn't properly
close but instead runs as a background process hogging resource. New
instances of of squeezelite-X fail to run until I use task-manager to
end the background process.

This only seems to happen when running SLX on the same machine and LMS,
ie. if I run SLX on a different PC and connect to my LMS server, SLX can
be stopped/started  etc with no problem. Has anyone else seen this?

The work around is to set SLX to run as a background task in the
settings, closing then sends it to the background properly and it
consumes next to no resource. This works really well as SLX is instantly
available.

So, not an important issue as the workaround works fine, but I thought
I'd raise it here for visibility in case other users have a similar
set-up and may un knowingly have SLX running as a "hogging" background
process.

Meanwhile, thanks for all the efforts on producing SLX, when combined
with Material, it's a very versatile and slick user interface.
