I have LMS v 7.7.5 - 1416570306 running on Debian - EN - utf8 (Raspberry
Pi). This setup is usually a lot quicker to respond than my old
configuration (same LMS version running on Server 2008 hardware).
However, when trying to access Music Folders (from any device or web
browser) there is a delay in showing them of around 10-20 seconds, then
clicking on one there is a further delay showing the contents. Some
times they display instantly.
This is the result of one of the slowest operations in LMS combined with
the weakest point of the Pi platform: disk I/O. Well, it is so slow in
LMS because it does a lot of I/O operations. The fact that sometimes it
seems to be fast most likely is thanks to some caching somewhere.
What could be wrong or what could I do to troubleshoot the issue?
Nothing's wrong. It's BMF. It's slow. It's on a Pi. It's even slower :-).
There are a few approaches how to ease the pain:
- make sure your cache folder is not on the same file system as your
music collection
- update to LMS 7.9 - it adds more caching
- don't put too many items in one folder. The less, the faster. My Pi2
requires a second or two to show 150 folders on the first level
- don't use BMF
