ReadySalted 7 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 What can I do to help UI performance? In the browser, scrolling is fast and smooth. There's a noticeable sludge with Theatre, even in the settings menu. I disabled as many of the plugins as I could (most were stock) and tried looking elsewhere but I don't know what to do. Any ideas? It also doesn't open full screen sometimes which is a bit annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hi, what device are you running Theater on? It should be just as fast as the web app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadySalted 7 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Yeah, it's strange, isn't it? Windows 10, i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 12B RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 What screen exactly is slow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadySalted 7 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Everywhere. Moving from tile to tile for example. It's not as smooth or as fast as the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadySalted 7 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 I'm not even sure how fast the difference is, but you see and feel it. Maybe a quarter of a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36991 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 do you have the CoverArt plugin installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadySalted 7 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 It was but I installed it after finding an old post here somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReadySalted 7 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Yeah, well it happens all the time. I dunno what you'll be able to find in there, really. Sometimes it's probably worse but I couldn't tell you why. Mouse scrolling is also much slower in theatre. Each push doesn't go nearly as far. It flies in the browser. Not sure if that's any indication or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 As a test, if you run the app windowed at 1080p, how does that compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadySalted 7 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 It's honestly just as bad. I snake around the movie covers as a test. 5 key presses to the right with the keyboard. Down 1. 5 to the left. Down 1. I think when I open the app it's fine for a short while, and then after navigating around so much it starts to lag.

Carlo 4329 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hi, what version of Theater do you have installed? Is it the desktop or store version? Have you tried the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadySalted 7 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 It's the latest desktop version, I presume since auto updates have been on. I haven't tried the store but could now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadySalted 7 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 I spent hours trying to install from the Windows Store only for it to download 520.0 KB before saying error each time. I gave up. Tried loads of different solutions. I've never wanted to use Windows Store before and that was my first experience. Great, huh? Sorry. That's not your fault at all, btw.

Can you try restarting the desktop app and see how that compares now? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadySalted 7 Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 Still the same. I feel like the browser is also slower than before and for the life of me I don't know why. After reinstalling Theatre I have a new problem now. When moving from thumbnail to thumbnail or tile to tile it no longer zooms/enlarges each one. Now there's just a green rectangle and no enlargement. I'm willing to put up with the responsiveness for now but could you help me to return the look I used to have, please? I don't know where this option is. I thought it may be in one of the plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where this option is. I thought it may be in one of the plugins. I raised the minimum cpu core requirement for many of the animations, so it should be moving faster without those. That's why you're not seeing them anymore. Could you maybe capture a video of what exactly is acting slowly? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadySalted 7 Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 Oh, that's what you did and why you wanted me to restart. I see now. Yeah. I'll try and capture something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Thanks. What I need to find out if the app user interface is what's responding slowly, or if it's the server responding slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadySalted 7 Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 I wasn't sure how to make a video that shows the timing of my presses vs what happens on the screen so I did what was saying before, to press right 5 times with the keyboard, down 1, left 5 times, down 1. And eventually I hold down to get to the bottom of the list. You can see it's having trouble keeping up with what I'm doing. Does this look normal? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DDpHyco10HQT8wNH3zr7shUQvG-WlJ1b/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
