Tidal collection/favorite tracks VERY slow

Hi

I have 1500 tracks in my tidal collection. Wiimhome app takes 7-8 seconds to load the list. The Tidal app, under 1 second !
Anyone else experience similar sluggishness ?

Running mini, cleared cache and data for the app, newest firmware and app version.
Submitted ticket, heard nothing.
 
Does it load the entire list?
Recent-ish changes to how wiim manage the playlist means that I find just a handful of 'my music tracks' are entered into the list and it gradually, over many minutes, gets longer.
Sometimes it just stops adding tacks to the playlist, sometimes with literally just a few tracks in it, and the music simply stops at that point.
I just pessed my preset for this, and 1 minute later there are still just two tracks in the queue.
Refreshed the queue - it's up to 49 now....
 
Thank you for your reply :-)

I would say yes, I can search the list for any track.

Here is a screenrecording on youtube of the issue Youtube link

First the collection tab is slow to load, then the tracks list.

I can see that I can use the favorites button in the corner. But track list still takes way too long to load.
 
A year and a bit ago when I first got the Ultra it took about 45 seconds to load my 3000+ list from Tidal.
The first track started playing pretty quickly, but I had to wait for the list to load before another track could be played (i.e.skip wouldn't work until then).
The 'improved' queue management means a very small subset of the list (usually) loads faster, but the playlist in the wiim now seems to be hugely restricted in how many tracks load even though the ultra screen shows, in the top right, that I'm on track N of what is now 4000+ tracks.

Of course, simply going to my tracks in the tidal app itself and casting works fine, but that sort of defeats the purpose of a shuffle preset to play my tracks quickly, easily and without the connect timeout if I pause it for a short while.

At least Daily Discovery is only 10 tracks, and my preset for that works more often than not ;)
