Re: [Banshee-List] Extension delay with next track

[Martin Eve <martin martineve com>]

Hi,

Thanks for the response...

Yes, it is a fairly large library (unheard for instance has 25227 tracks),
but my testing has not involved tracks that would cause that to update.

It's possible that a fix has been released in that bug report, but I do not
experience the issue when proxying the Next() call to the main thread. The
change is then instant (as it is with the GTK GUI) as opposed to the 7
second delay.

Best,

Martin
