glitchy/skipping/stuttering slacker streaming music anyone?
- Thread starter quickstrike12
- Start date
I get a brief stutterer and sometimes a full second of silence when listening to the streaming channels. When I listen via the Amazon music app on my phone it still happens, but not as often as when I am listening on the streaming service. It does not seem to matter how good the cell connection appears to be for me either. I am still running 8.1 (AP2).
I think we understand somewhat now what the problem is.
Now all we can do is report it and hope they release a fix at some point.

As a side note, it also happens when using a USB stick. This is along with the very annoying issue of having to select a song multiple times before it will actually start playing....

I still have them on 46.2.
Maybe slightly better. Or maybe that’s wishful thinking. But they are still there.

This issue is due to the implementation of persistent full screen nav/map and the intolerably weak SOC used in the MCUs (both versions). I have eliminated skipping and glitching in streamed music by “hiding” the nav/map. I believe the larger, higher pixel count 17” screen of the X and S is simply too much for the processor.
To hide the map/nav and stop it from rendering open the doodle Easter egg. Fill it with your favorite color (I used black). Then you can put any other app on top and music on bottom. See my avatar. I have not have a skipping problem since.
Love the added features with V9 but the UI on X/S sucks sucks sucks.

I drive a couple days with a nice little MERRY CHRISTMAS on my drawings Easter egg.
Worked and fixed the streaming music.
But then I drove at night and it damn near blinded me.
Anyway I know that works but just isn’t all that practical for long term.
It’s not the sky is falling kind of problem. But damn sure is annoying!

I don't know how widespread it is, but I experienced it when I upgraded to v9 (42.2). I have an April 2017 delivery Model S 100D (MCU1). I discovered the "Doodle Pad" solution here and it solved the stuttering problem.
When I recently upgraded to 46.2, it was still a problem (which I noticed in the first 10 minutes of driving, since the Map was being displayed again). The "Doodle Pad" solution continues to remedy the problem (although the UI is much more sluggish in general since I upgraded to 46.2).

For me 48.1 seems to have resolved the issue for me. Hope it’s gone for good!

I had this same issue with Slacker stuttering/glitching ever since updating to v9 (42.2), and also confirmed obscuring the map with the easter egg sketchpad seemed to solve it as a temporary workaround
the other day I updated to 48.12.1, and while the stuttering seems less frequent, it still occurs. So maybe improved but not 100% fixed.
AP1/MCU1 MS 70D
Loaded 50.6 this week. Don’t want to get to excited yet. But i drove in to work 1/2 hour drive and not a single glitch or stutter on streaming.
Fingers crossed. Hope this keeps up.

No usb plugged in, and streaming with car is iffy getting all the mentioned issues. I find the experience much better getting the login details, and using phone slacker, and playing through Bluetooth.
