Environment
build from latest source on cachyos with niri and kitty.
@MonkyMars commented on GitHub (Dec 25, 2025):
it may be a niri or kitty issue because of the resizing. this hasnt happened anywhere else though.
@chiragverma11 commented on GitHub (Dec 27, 2025):
Two days ago I hit the same issue. I built spotify-player with the image feature enabled. When I run it and play any song, the UI freezes while audio continues playing in the background. I saw the same behaviour in both Kitty and Ghostty.
The same build works fine inside tmux, the cover image shows as pixelated (because tmux can't render images), but the UI does not freeze. Also, a build without the image feature works perfectly everywhere.
are you using a build with image feature?
@aome510 commented on GitHub (Dec 28, 2025):
hi, can anyone confirm if https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/pull/897 fixes the issue?
@chiragverma11 commented on GitHub (Dec 29, 2025):
I tested #897 but the UI still freezes when image feature is enabled.
I am sharing the logs and recording.
Logs - https://pastebin.com/QT8yj9hG
In video first I tested the build by creating a new Kitty window, at 0:22 I played Sway song and the UI freezes (you can tell as the timeline is stuck) and the terminal also gets messed up (after exiting by Ctrl-C), then I tested the same build in a tmux window and it works flawlessly.

@aome510 for me, #897 neither fixes the issue. music keeps playing, but the moment the image is shown, the rest of the ui stalls. with feature
pixelatethis does not happen.i run #897 ontop of
22123ab594, on macos + ghostty.pixelate+ghostty or running withimage+tmux (inside of ghostty) works, though.@aome510 commented on GitHub (Dec 30, 2025):
I think the new version of
viuerdefinitely causes this issue (change log). With that said, I couldn't reproduce with kitty on MacOS (maybe it's a linux thing) so don't know how to fix this.Maybe someone able to reproduce the the issue can do some debugging to figure out where it triggers the freeze in https://github.com/atanunq/viuer/blob/master/src/printer/kitty.rs. In the meantime, we can revert
vieurback to0.9.2which I think is working based on https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/890#issuecomment-3690091814@mgumz commented on GitHub (Dec 30, 2025):
@aome510 yes, downgrading to
vieur:0.9.2works: no freezing for me on macos+ghostty.@ETLaurent commented on GitHub (Jan 5, 2026):
Reproducing the issue on
6264c2ff36, with Kitty 0.44.0 on MacOS 26.1 (25B78).UI freezes as soon as the album cover is displayed. It happens ~3 times out of 4, weirdly.
I don't have the problem on Alactritty 0.16.1.
@TogiFerretFerret commented on GitHub (Jan 6, 2026):
Vieur 0.9.2 works for me as well (linux+ghostty)
@aome510 commented on GitHub (Jan 8, 2026):
