bad performance

[damnms]

First of all: thanks for the plugin.
Yesterday it was slow, then i rebooted kodi and then it was "ok". now i have the problem again. When i start a track it takes sometimes 20-30 seconds until it starts, kodi gets dark with that spinning wheel that it does "something".

i am wondering why it is so slow. could one of those errors be the reason?

[glk1001]

This is hard to figure out. A number of other users have complained of the same thing and I'm never quite sure how the issue whether the resolved. I know a lot of people have no issues. I use Ubuntu 24.04 on a NUC without any problems. Possibly you could try caching under Kodi's 'Settings/Services/Caching'. See if caching internet files makes a difference.

Would it make sense to have some print(currrentTimeInMillis()) so we can see where it exactly has problems? i had caching already enabled, guess this is default in coreelec

imho it must be a problem in the code, when i see those:

looks for me like some recursion problem.
is this maybe the problem: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Max-retries-reached-too-many-429-error-responses-on-audio/m-p/5658542/highlight/true#M11260 ?
