Hi folks,
I have noticed a change in behaviour of my system over the last few months, changing from Eden to Frodo.
Originally, I used to be able to press play on a genre or artist and XBMC would easily play all the songs in that genre or artist, even if it was a genre that contained thousands of songs. Gradually I have noticed it take longer and longer before playback begins, and now it doesn't seem to be able to play some genres at all (the ones with the most songs). If I press play on a genre with only a few songs, such as acoustic folk, it works fine, but Rock just makes XBMC crash. I get similar problems with playlists. For the record, I can queue songs up and that works fine (but obviously isn't practical for thousands of songs).
Is this likely to be a system issue, such as lack of memory? I find it curious that Eden seemed fine with all of this. There wasn't even a delay starting to play a genre of 5000 songs. Perhaps the playback system has changed in Frodo that places more demands on memory, or could I adjust an audio playback setting to alieviate the problem?
