Banshee 1.6.1: Lag between songs <Solved>

proxima_centauri · 2010-07-30 13:52:27

EDIT: Banshee now appears to function correctly with the latest upgrade to sqlite3-3.7.1-1.
EDIT: The workaround to fix the lag is to downgrade SQLite from v3.7 to v3.6 - thanks Halfdream

I've been trying to solve a problem I've been having since yesterday with Banshee, it has become extremely laggy. It lags ~25 seconds at start up with a blank frozen window. Then once I can start selecting songs, it lags additionally between each song.

I've tried fully removing Banshee and removing ~/.config/banshee-1 & ~/.gconf/apps/banshee-1. After reinstallation of Banshee, it starts up beautifully with no lag. I imported around 5 Artists, works great. However once I keep adding songs (I was manually importing each Artist folder), the lag began to increase with each additional import. By the time I got to ~ 2000 songs, it was at around the same amount of lag I was encountering before. I've tried disabling all extensions with no luck.

It may be important to note that this lag between songs occurs longer when I am playing an on shuffle. If I turn off shuffle the lag decreases between individual songs - but it's still noticable.

Here's a debug log of Banshee after starting and switching a couple songs.
I'm not sure what this is -> "[1 Debug 10:35:35.796] TrackInfoDisplay RenderAnimation: 4.00 FPS" but the FPS does seems to drop significantly each time a new song is played.

Its a bug from sqlite 3.7, downgrade and it'll fix the problem i had the same problem, all we can do is wait for an update of banshee, or sqlite 3.7 to fix the problem meanwhile you can downgrade sqlite in 3.6.23 it'll work just as nicely as before.
I made a report on bugzilla : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625423

proxima_centauri · 2010-07-30 16:13:18

Thank you for the information Halfdream. Downgrading sqlite to v3.6 solved the lag problem.

Halfdream · 2010-07-30 17:00:28

BurntSushi · 2010-07-31 13:12:32

You have my thanks as well. I can confirm that downgrading SQLite fixed this problem. (I was also having problems with sorting anything in Banshee, that was fixed with the downgrade too.)

sanderdam · 2010-08-01 16:26:03

I too have the problem with banshee and sqlite 3.7.

What is the best way to downgrade sqlite?
Can it be done with pacman?

proxima_centauri · 2010-08-01 19:36:52

Assuming you didn't clear the pkg cache, something like:
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/sqlite-3.3...hit <TAB> for options

thefatprecious · 2010-08-07 21:27:19

Supposedly this was fixed in 3.7.0.1 which is what we have in the repos and what I have installed currently, but I'm not seeing a difference. Are you?

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625783#c19

proxima_centauri · 2010-08-07 22:42:10

No difference here with latest package sqlite3-3.7.0.1-1.
I'm still using sqlite3-3.6.23.1-1.

Hrm this is beyond my knowledge but I wonder if this was fixed in the latest revision of banshee...seems the package in extra is a few behind and there was a commit to fix slow slow query/lockup. It's already flagged out of date too..not sure why it hasn't been updated.

Weegee · 2010-08-13 10:43:21

When using Banshee 1.7.4 and sqlite3-3.7.0.1-1 the bug stilll occurs. sqlite3-3.6.23.1-1 works fine ...

Narren · 2010-08-17 15:09:58

I've cleaned my cache . Could someone provide me with sqlite 3.6 package?

thefatprecious · 2010-08-17 17:36:35

This may help you: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dow … er_Version

However, I don't understand how this can be a solution as it is only a workaround and who knows what it may disrupt down the road. Does anyone know the proper way to report this? Can't file a bug report on arch packages that are not up to date, correct? This has been out of date for months. So how else does one contact the arch developer/maintainer to update and/or look into the issue?

Weegee · 2010-08-26 11:48:35

I still experience this bug with both sqlite 3.7.1 and 3.7.2 - so it looks like I have to stay with 3.6.23.1. Anyway, is there another solution for this? Or why is this issue marked as solved?

proxima_centauri · 2010-08-26 13:31:29

Keeping sqlite at v.1.6 fixes the problem for the time being, so I marked my topic as solved. As far as I know we are waiting for a revision of banshee to hit.

Hrmm, well after updating today which included sqlite 3.7.1-1 for me I am no longer experiencing this particular issue. But now I can't seek in any tracks...... Uggh

Edit: nm, gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins fixed the seeking issue....
