library performance - rpi3b+ and official display

[Tim Curtis]

I didn't test opening the configs but I'll retest tonight.

Excellent results testing with chromium v126. Performance and response is like night and day compared to v130 so it looks like we are good to go with this older version for the foreseeable future.

Great!

NOTE: I did not have to turn on the "Disable GPU" option on system with Touch 1 | Pi3B+

Huh. I don't know why this seems to be necessary for some and not for others. Without it, I get janky performance on my Pi3B+/Touch1, notably when I switch from Library Album view to one of the Configure screens, when partial overlays prevent me from making many choices.

Regards.

After more thorough testing I can confirm that  "Disable GPU" is needed for Touch1 / Pi3B+. Overall perf doesn't seem to suffer though.

Hi,
I previously posted the following:
https://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread....7#pid58917

I was able to use 9.1.3 without any problems, but with 9.1.4 and 9.1.5 the tag view started freezing.

My system is as follows:
Pi model = Pi-4B 1.4 8GB
Audio device = HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro
Local Display = Intehill T10PA touchscreen connected via HDMI
Boot Device = USB SSD 128GB
Library Device = USB SSD 4TB
about 1,300 albums

Chromium version of version 9.1.3  1:129.0.6668.100-1~deb12u1+rpt1
Chromium version of version 9.1.5 1:130.0.6723.116-1~deb12u1+rpt1

Since 9.1.3 is fine, I downgraded 9.1.5 chromium to the same version as 9.1.3. (130. -> 129.)
I downloaded the chromium dep packages of the same version as 9.1.3 from the following site.

http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/po...m-browser/
chromium_129.0.6668.100-1~deb12u1+rpt1_arm64.deb
chromium-browser_129.0.6668.100-1~deb12u1+rpt1_all.deb
chromium-common_129.0.6668.100-1~deb12u1+rpt1_arm64.deb
chromium-sandbox_129.0.6668.100-1~deb12u1+rpt1_arm64.deb

http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/po...mium-mods/
rpi-chromium-mods_20240904_arm64.deb

I installed the downloaded dep packages using the following steps:

Code:

sudo dpkg -i chromium_129.0.6668.100-1~deb12u1+rpt1_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i chromium-browser_129.0.6668.100-1~deb12u1+rpt1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i chromium-common_129.0.6668.100-1~deb12u1+rpt1_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i chromium-sandbox_129.0.6668.100-1~deb12u1+rpt1_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i rpi-chromium-mods_20240904_arm64.deb

I am using 9.1.5 with chromium downgraded to 129 using the steps above without any issues.
(I'm not sure if this is the right way to downgrade.)

I hope this information is helpful.

thank you @Tim Curtis for the update/downgrade - library performance seems to be as good as it were!
