playlists: asynchronously clear static playlists (2.61 KB, patch)

Description Georges Basile Stavracas Neto 2016-08-11 01:32:57 UTC 
This is a major performance bottleneck in my machine. It may take up to 3 minutes to clear a giantic playlist, and it should be done asynchronously so it doesn't block UI.

playlists: asynchronously clear static playlists

In my machine, clearing the static playlists can consume
up to 3 minutes. Since this is done synchronously, it blocks
the UI and renders GNOME Music unusable.

Fix that by clearing the statis playlists asynchronously
and not blocking the UI.

Something not quite right here, playlists are duplicated for me with this patch.

Playlists in general are a bit fishy atm.
Comment 3 Marinus Schraal 2016-10-10 12:15:15 UTC 
Merged your branch, thanks.

We should also fix all other sync tracker interactions at some point. I'll open up a newcomer bug for it.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Once that release is available, you may want to check for a software upgrade provided by your Linux distribution.
