oh good, i thought i was the ONLY one having this bug/lag/delay issue, however the posting date of this topic leads me to believe that my issue is completely separate from the OP's..
very very long time user of MM here, since Winamp glory days.. I only notice the lag/delay issue after I installed Win8, and now Win8.1 (after many years of suffering, I'm thinking my last resolution is to quit w/Win8.1 and revert back to Win7 [yes, just for MM] and see if my problem ceases).. suffering with this bug over the past years, I'm inclined to lean towards the side that this may be the long standing Run As Admin/permissions issue that MM has been suffering from in Win8.. idk? it's been a VERY LONG time since I've updated my MM (or it seems like!?),
current MM version: 4.5.1718
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit | 8 GB RAM | Custom-Built Intel Core 2 Duo
Any ideas? Has a resolution to this issue been introduced in some updates that I'm behind on?
THANKS!!!
edit: and just to be clear it's not just during initial opening of MM (to eliminate the start-up library monitoring reasoning), it's even many hours after MM has been open.. simply using the mouse double.click.to.open method in Windows Explorer to begin playing a media file results in a marginal delay before playback begins.. one temporary and longstanding solution I have discovered is that if the file is dragged from Windows Explorer to MM Now Playing frame, playback begins immediately.
