Something in one of the updates over the last year (which depending on your distro may have only just got to you) has played havoc with many of the plugins. If I use one of my favourite ones I have the same issue as your friend of it taking minutes to open and being slow. My library is roughly half that size. I'd suggest turning off every single plugin and seeing if it makes a difference, if it's good like that then turn them back on one at a time.

So it's not Rhythmbox's fault. The thing is, I've seen it run equally slow on another machine. At the time I blamed that machine's low specs, but the current machine should be up to the job. I'll check if --debug can tell me anything new. This person has all audio files pretty much lumped in ~/Music, with hardly any subfolders. Could that affect performance? _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
