Régie5

Régie5 0.7.0: smoother, lighter, and Japanese, Chinese and Korean titles.

A release about how Régie5 runs rather than what it shows: every change was measured on the console.

Smoother at 120 Hz

• No more stutter when a screen opens: new texts and posters are now prepared a little in each frame instead of all at once. Measured on the console at 120 Hz in 4K, the same automatic tour three times each way: 5 to 10 missed frames per tour before, none after; the worst gap between two frames went from 25 ms to 12 ms
• A poster already received comes back at once: the picture files are kept (12 MB on the console), so the same poster at another size, or again after scrolling away, is never asked from the server again. On a real library: 1 % of pictures asked twice, against 59 % before

Large libraries, slow servers

• Large libraries use far less memory: lists are read one title at a time. A library of 5,000 films (19 MB as sent by Radarr) used to need 113 MB of memory to read, now 24 MB; the films and series are read once for the Library, the Cleanup and the Jellyfin tab together
• A library list too large for the console (over 32 MB as sent, some 8,000 films) is no longer read: the Library says "Library too large for Régie5" for that instance instead of running out of memory
• A slow or switched-off server no longer holds up the others: at most two requests at a time go to each service, and a server that cannot be reached is set aside for 10 seconds (its screens say Unreachable at once; Test still tries it). After 3 seconds, the bottom of the screen says which service is being waited for: Waiting for Sonarr (5 s)…
