spotify-tui: Extremely slow

The app barely responds for me. I’ll type ? and it will take a minute or more before anything happens. It seems to work, e.g. connect to Spotify and has all my music, but it is delayed heavily with every action. I’m not sure if this is known, it might be the same bug as #92 but for me it was never “unfrozen”.

I got spotifyd and spotify-tui from the AUR.

Versions: Operating System: Arch Linux Kernel: Linux 5.4.8-arch1-1 spotifyd 0.2.20 spotify-tui 0.11.0

Sorry to hear this.

I’ve just released a new version (0.12.0) which changes the terminal rendering backend (to support Windows).

Are you able to try again?

It’s running very slow to me as well. I’m on a very similar setup:

Arch Linux
Linux 5.4.7-arch1-1
spotifyd 0.0.23
spotify-tui 0.10.0

I’m using Alacritty and zsh.

EDIT: I ran it for some 30 minutes. The lagging stopped, but then it froze in the same way described in #92.
