20 second lag when adding search results to current playlist using HEAD about mopidy-spotify HOT 6 CLOSED

Mopidy-Spotify 1.x requires pyspotify 1.x. Mopidy-Spotify 2.x requires pyspotify 2.x.

Any new development should happen on Mopidy-Spotify 2.x.

from mopidy-spotify.

To add a bit more detail: Mopidy-Spotify 2.x is close to a first release to PyPI. The current state of the develop branch is quite good. It depends on a feature of pyspotify that is not released yet, thus you need pyspotify 2 from git too.

As to adding features, discussing the feature and what it should do first greatly increases the odds for getting it merged. What kind of playlist configurations are you thinking about and what's their use cases?

It might be relevant that I've already added a new configuration in Mopidy-Spotify 2 for turning off playlists:

spotify/allow_playlists: Whether or not playlists should be exposed. Defaults to true.

Thanks for quick response and explanation! Switching my branch to develop from master for mopidy-spotify solved my problem. I have pyspotify checked out and setup also right now.

I'll comment on the open issue for playlists with what I was thinking of doing.

I'm reopening. The problem seems to be dependent on which artist you look up and the state of your cache, so I think I was a bit spurious in closing.

I'm using the develop branches for both mopidy-spotify and pyspotify. Believe the problem is in mopidy-spotify. I've opened a pull request with the area of code that I think is a problem.

A good way to illustrate the problem is to lookup an artist with a large number of albums. I'm using ncmpcpp. When I do a search for Avicii then select the artist to load all of the tracks for the artist into the now playing list MPD hangs for a very long time and ncmpcpp becomes unresponsive (I say very long because I haven't seen it return for over 1 minute+). Another artist that you could do would be Selena Gomez which hangs for about 10-15 seconds but does return (fewer albums I assume).

This problem doesn't happen when I use the pre-2.x version. I believe the problem is due to the new way that artist look ups are done is generating many queries. Believe my diff in the pull request and the attached comments should illustrate this.

Let me know if you can reproduce.

I'm also seeing this behaviour and I think @peterlvilim is correct in his assumption. The changes made to fix #7 seem to be a very likely suspect.

I can reproduce and agree with your conclusions. Closing this issue and continuing discussion in #31.
