Hello TBBETA Members!
A while ago, when listing more than a few bugs/problems TB
brings with it, freezing TB was one of them. That was already
quite annoying.
Over the past couple of days I found out that this freeze has
effects on other programs, namely media players. When TB is
open and I try to watch a video or listen to music with VLC,
Groove, 5KPlayer etc. the media freeze, skip, and pixelate.
First I thought it was something in my network - it isn't,
internally I have a fully functional Gigabit Ethernet, outside
connection is 500 Mbit down, 50 Mbit up, even with a VPN I
don't get under 300/30. It isn't my soundcard, not my processor
nor RAM [see https://www.screencast.com/t/elvx9PtMeJ6 ].
For testing I let first Groove* run with a long playlist. It
skipped while TB was running; System Monitor showed that every
time Groove skipped the main TB process got red and was
'unresponsive'. Same when I checked with VLC. Closing TB**,
then running Groove for an hour without any skipping, then the
same with VLC.
This makes TB unusable to me.
*as part of the OS it should have the least interaction
problems
**curiously a TB process ran on after closing the program; I
mentioned that previously

Buss's Third Law of Human Mating: For every mating adaptation in one
sex, there exists at least one co-evolved adaptation in the other sex
designed to manipulate and exploit it. Buss's Fourth Law of Human
Mating: For every co-evolved exploitative mating adaptation, there
exists at least one co-co-evolved defensive adaptation designed to
circumvent being manipulated and exploited. Buss's Seventh Law of
Human Mating: Never reveal your first two laws of mating, lest they be
used to manipulate and exploit you. [David Buss]
