Abnormal CPU Usage

[Shark3900]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Sometime after using the app, my CPU usage will skyrocket until everything on my PC begins acting like a PowerPoint Slideshow, at which point I kill Spotube in Task Manager and everything returns to normal.

Expected Behavior

It don't do that.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the app.
2. Play music.
3. Pause music (or reach the end of a playlist.)
4. Wait (Disclaimer: This isn't very helpful, I fully admit that. I haven't pinpointed precisely when or why it happens,)
5. CPU usage will inevitably increase until 100%.

Operating System

Windows 11 Home 22H2

Spotube version

3.4.1

Installation source

GitHub Releases (Binary)

Additional information

I did search and notice this seemed talked about in various forms before, but I haven't seen anything about it since the latest release. Not sure what's causing it, though I notice whenever it happens all of the images on the Browse screen of Spotube flicker constantly. The playlists I play are usually fairly small, like 10 songs, so it's not a size of playlist issue. I have no open dialogue boxes either, just sitting at the Browse screen.

Edit:
Pausing (or finishing) a playlist, leaving it alone for some time (in this case, about 20-30 minutes) then resuming caused it to instantly jump to 100% usage.

Please I'm trying to listen to music not boil myself alive.

@Shark3900 I hear you man. Windows has never been the most resource efficient platform for Spotube.
I think there are a lot of variables that need to match in order to have this kind of CPU usage. The memory usage seems reasonable (although 300MB is still high for Spotube which is usually around ~180MB) so the CPU spike means there's something problematic with either the Player or the File System.

Can you specify your CPU model?

[Shark3900]

Yeah I noticed the memory usage is fairly low (agree 300 is high but that's still not extremely unreasonable with the amount of electron apps I willingly run haha).

I've got a Ryzen 7 5800X, I don't have any relevant debugging software or anything for something like this but if you know of anything I should try to record it with I'd be down to try and grab logs.

Funny enough I was reading through and noticed my laptop, ryzen 5 4600h was doing something weirdly similar...
And then moments later, my laptop went back to an issue I've reported #1269

[KRTirtho]

This has been fixed in 6673e5a

Try out the nightly version. Later it'll be released

[Shark3900]

I meant to write back on this a while ago but it completely slipped my mind:

I've been unable to test if this issue still occurs for me in 3.6.0 as any attempts to install Spotube on this version has lead to it failing to launch, around the same time as #1440 popped up - but curiously, I didn't have this issue in the version I originally wrote this in (3.4.1), so I'm unsure this has anything to do with my specific CPU (like #1156) or Windows 10 LTSC (like #44 and #118).

Some additional investigation, I noticed the log file was actually getting updated when I attempted to run the stable 3.6.0 build:

This differs from the latest nightly build which does manage to exist - suggesting to me it's already fixed - but only for a second or 2 before itself crashing:
