Lags when loading a new image

[HootisTigglebits]

I just got the dev version up and running and uploaded the same images I was using on the latest OSE version and have noticed that every time it goes to load a new image it loads the upper 1/8th of the image immedieatly and then lags for about 1 second and then loads the rest. How can I fix this?

• Raspberry Pi Hardware Version: Model 3B
• Raspberry Pi Network Setup: Ethernet
• Screenly OSE Version: master@97a0abd

Given your last issue, I wouldn't rule out a broken SD card. Try a brand new one and see if that resolves it.

I see the same at times on a pi 4b 8gb with 32gb sd depending on the image size. My thought was could be related to “conversion” time for the display.. but, I could be totally wrong here, as I am still “learning the nuances” of screenly-ose on the pi 4b..

Okay I bought a new SD card and am currently installing the dev version on it. Fingers crossed.

Okay so it’s still lagging. Here’s a video of the issue. Before I upgraded to the dev version I was using these same images without an issue. Video of image lag.

I think I may have figured it out. The .png was using was a large file so I saved it as a .jpg and the loading lag seems to have stopped. Now I just have to figure out how to adjust the image so that it fills the screen. Is master@97a0abd the current dev version?

master@97a0abd is current, so lowering the image file-size - helped you? May I ask what the size and resolution was before and after you fixed it?

I take that back it’s now randomly doing it again and there’s a black screen that lasts around .25 seconds between images

I just put the regular OSE version on the SD card and it works flawlessly again other than the black bars.

I troubleshooted this similar situation with someone else here , this is simply a combination of the size and type of the file/image and how long it takes to render by the viewer of the system..
I understand it works flawlessly in regular OSE version, this is probably because regular OSE uses uzbl to view_image, the experimental uses Webview..
