Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/98

i have noticed that with spotify_player, it causes the cpu usage to increase and my computer fans ramp up the speed due to the usage.

what the fuck is spotify_player doing? i'm not even doing anything.

@wael444 I couldn't reproduce this issue. I use the app daily and in my laptop (M1 Mac), it never goes beyond 2% CPU usage. Does this issue only happen during the startup? Does it happen frequently as well?

Also, can you provide the version and additional features of spotify_player that you're currently using?

Thanks for the demonstration . Can you also provide me a log of such run in ~/.cache/spotify-player?

You can run it without spotifyd/librespot as a spotify client by itself. spotify_player can be used either as a remote controller (like spotify-tui) to control other running client or as a single client itself (like ncspot).

I suspect this may be the source of the high CPU error. Can you build the main branch without the streamng feature and try it again

git clone https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player.git && cd spotify-player
cargo run --no-default-features

Note it needs a running Spotify client (e.g spotifyd) to use the app

The default features are media-control (cross-platform media control), rodio-backend, which includes streaming feature.

If you only use spotify-player as the remote controller, using no default feature should be enough unless you want other optional features such as image view, lyric finder, etc.
