Very slow responsivness on RPi3 w/SSD + DLNA Renderer

[XavierG]

Hi there!

I'm pretty new to HA, and just discovered this awesome project. First of all kudos to the devs, as it's really what I always wanted to be from a media management perspective (all in one place, and able to play on any type of device)

I encounter an issue, but not sure if it's related to my hardware being quite limited (RPi 3 + SSD - no SD Card) or if it's related to DLNA players overall. When I start playing a new song one any DLNA renderer (I tried multiple), the player takes about 30 sec to start playing. Once playing, it's fine, as soon as I don't change song ;)

I activated debug, and found this:

2023-01-13 14:12:53.634 DEBUG (MainThread) [music_assistant.helpers.audio] writer started for spotify://track/1JVfjwfsrR2Mm79zppK5PX

This is the 30 sec. delay I was talking about. So is this writer limited by my hardware?

Any feedback appreciated!

Cheers,
Xavier

mmm... while it's playing I have a core that is maxed out

Is Music Assistant that ressource intensive?! (there is no background jobs running, only music playing)
