Hi,
I’m looking for some help with some responsiveness issues when browsing the music library. When I enter the music library or switch between views (artist, albums, songs etc.), Kodi becomes completely unresponsive for several seconds. The problems appeared with the update to Kodi 17 and persists in 17.1. I even run into this problem using a clean profile directory. There is no problem browsing the movie or series library.
I uploaded a debug log using a clean profile directory (e.g., no library set up but that does not seem to change the behavior). You can see the problem in the following lines:
