Playing a Genre - slow

[lrossouw]

Hi

When I press play on a Genre (with many songs) the whole interface\etc slows to a crawl. I usually now press & hold play and then select the dynamic playlist (from that plugin) which does the "random songs in genre".

Is there a way to improve this performance or at least make the dynamic playlist the default thing to do when pressing play on a genre?

Thanks
Louis

If you try the random mix option that comes with squeezecenter, you can also select by genre. I don't know about the dynamic playlist plugin, but the random mix option with add songs 10 at a time, and remove played ones, thus keeping the playlist short.
Maybe this will speed things up for you.
