I have a new HP Laptop with an AMD CPU (I don't know if this is important) and a task I had never had any problems with now is. I drag a folder with MP3 or FLAC to MP3 tag (or try) and Opus freezes up (Top bar getting white). This will maybe last 20 seconds, then I can try again and it will work. Doesn't happen every time. Now the question: Have you ever seen this before and how can I help to fix it?
What happens if you drag the same files from File Explorer to MP3 Tag?
Or the same files from Opus to another program?
With the File Explorer, nothing.
Just tried dragging from Dopus to Foobar2000 - also freezing. But it's occasional. Can't reproduce it all the time. 
Nothing happens at all?
No freezes with Explorer.
I captured a minidump and three full dumps with various freezes. I will send them to you.
Thanks for those! We've made a code change for the next beta to work around a potential issue. The dumps aren't completely conclusive, but it looks like the X:\ and Y:\ drives on your system take a long time to respond to a query we're doing on them, but it's a query we can usually skip.
These are network drives for a server that is not always powered on. Thanks for quick repsonse!
Those will cause delays all over the place, and not just in Opus. Best avoided. Using UNC paths is a good way to avoid them.
First time I heard about this issue with mapped drives. Been running this for years, since I'm the only user on my mediaserver. It's also the quickest way to access ressources, otherwise I'd have to browse the network. Or do you recommend mapping them fresh every time I start the server?
Make aliases to your unc paths.
Examples:
- alias srvA_pictures that points to
\\SrvA\volume1\myData\personnal\pictures - alias srvA_vol1 points to
\\SrvA\volume1 - alias srvB_videos points to
\\SrvB\volume3\MyVideos - ...
Then make buttons, for instance in a menu, with calls like GO /srvA_pictures NEWTAB (or not NEWTAB, use whatever flavor of GO that suits your standard workflow).
That way, they're not "mounted" by default, and are accessed on demand.
EDIT : Another option is to add the UNC paths to favorites if you tend to use them.
EDIT2 : The aliases are not mandatory for the buttons/menu.
And you can also use GO FOLDERCONTENT=nofiles if one your remote folders is an entry point to multiple folders you often go to. In a menu, it will display a submenu with all the subfolders of the one specified in the GO command.
I've been using the drive bar for years, never gave me any errors.
PS: I might see freezes due to the AMD graphics in my system, it's a very new chip, maybe it's coming from a bad driver.
I installed the 13.16 and so far have not seen any freezes anymore.
