Public bug reported:
I have a bunch of songs in the Music directory, some without embedded
art, some with. I leave the music app in the song list and kill it.
Then:
thumbnailer-admin clear
tail -f ~phablet/.cache/upstart/dbus.log
Now I start the music app. I've attached the dbus.log.
Looking through the requests that are issue to the thumbnailer, I would
expect to see only thumbnail and album requests, depending on whether a
song contains embedded cover art or not. However, there are artist
requests interspersed with all the other requests, even though no artist
is shown in the current view.
Doing this is not great because the remote server is slow, and the
useless artist requests just delay the album requests that need to be
shown. In other words, it makes for a worse user experience.
Would it be possible to restrict requests to only what is actually
needed for the current view? Things would move considerably faster that
way.
