Sluggish Interface

[DiSNEYN]

Only me that thinks that the new color Interface/Menu is very very sluggish compared to the old monocrome/VFD menus?

I Hope that this only is a minor setback in early firmware and that you will be able to fine-tune this to get a "fluid feeling" in the new color interface system.

I want FLUID moving menus. Not jumpy/choppy movement.

Any developers that have something to say about this? When changing to the color system i hope that you had this in mind? Or isn't the new screen able to show fluid movement?

Please respond.

Got mine on Saturday.

I second DiSNEYNs' opinion.

Oh, yeah, very slow. Sometimes there is like 1 sec or long lag before the screen reacts to inputs.

Between crappy interface and bugs I decided to send my back.

Mine works fine... Everything is smooth sailin.. Maybe its ur network? Try connecting with ethernet and see if its still choppy?

Mine seems quite snappy using WiFi. Probably a bit slower screen changes than my SB3, but not by much and it doesn't seem sluggish to me.
Might just be the way the new players operate, dunno.

Overall, the menus seem relatively responsive to me. There is definitely some sluggishness when you do certain things, though. For example, there is often a delay when you hit the power button.

Speed seems fine to me on wifi. I think the color screen is much better in many ways than the Boom display. If there's a lag or it's slower, it not noticeable to me.

Mine seems fluid at present, although I also see the short delay when pressing the power/standby button. Does it seem to happen with some commands/menus in particular (eg, those showing album art, or those where a long artist list is being generated), or is it all of them?

How are you navigating the menus, with the knob or with an IR remote from one of your other SBs? I don't know why it would make a difference, but thought it would be a good idea to make sure we are talking about the same thing. I use the knob exclusively -- the screen is so small that I have to get up close anyway.

I believe a recent firmware update removed some debug code that was slowing the interface down. Mine feels quite responsive now.
