App becomes very laggy after more than 30 mins of continous playing?

[Shnxxx]

I always listen to music on this app, and I usually play it through my speakers so I can hear it wherever I go in our house. After about 30 minutes of continuous play, it takes too long to respond and is very laggy.

Can +1 this one, although it may be related to a memory leak issue in Youtube Music itself (has been once discussed on the subreddit, confirmed by various users)

+1, what thread is that on? I'd like to take a look and see, as I switched from a different client to this one because of the same issue (this one is better, if you're wondering)

@sh0inx well if its an issue with the web app itself; not this electron wrapper/mod (which is probably the case according to kerich), then there's not much that can really be done without complex analysis & patching of the JS bundle or a full web replacement. Currently, this mod works with raw DOM manipulation and JQuery (😬), so doing modifications like this isn't really feasible.

Perhaps a system to detect when memory usage gets that high and refreshes the next time the track changes (so it doesn't interrupt playback). Could have an option in the dropdown menu to set the current usage as "too much" and have it remember thats where you want it to refresh. If refreshing doesn't free the memory then restart the app. That'd be a decent solution.
