Home Assistant authentication to the Music Assistant very slow

[rjenx]

I run HA OS and MA as an addon in HA. It has plenty of memory and storage yet when I open MA it takes a significant amount of time to authenticate and then when I select a playlist or music file it authenticates again, with a significant delay. Is this other peoples experience, if not any ideas as to the solution to speed up authentication?

HA and MA are on the latest versions.

Whilst you haven't quantified what "significant amount of time" is, authenticating when playing a track is not normal. How have you installed MA? How are you accessing the MA UI? Do you have anything non-standard about your network?

I realise there is insufficient information to establish a cause, I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues. I haven't measured the time but a couple of seconds minimum the authenticating message is on screen, I am not sure how much more information than HA OS is installed with the MA application addon. I guess they are both docker containers within the same docker environment. MA is an icon in the sidebar. The network is a fairly simple architecture, I run HA as a proxmox container installed with ttteck script. The container is allocated 2 cpu (PowerEdge R420 server) with 9GB of memory. so the network is within the HA container. No vlans or any exotic configuration.

A couple of seconds for the authentication initially is normal. However after that you should not see that dialog again. What browser are you using?

I can live with the delay if its normal for this integration, it would be better if the integration was seamless, my users comment on the delay hence the question. I use Vivaldi with Agent Brand Masking as Google Chrome to avoid certain issues with Cloudfare Captcha. Unrelated to this!

As I said only the initial dialog is normal but after that you should never it see it again in the browsing session.

I have the same issue. Takes about 10 seconds to authenticate. I currently only have 1 service Qobuz. And each time I open my phone or switch back to HA it authenticates again. This behavior makes it unusable.

The number of music sources does not affect the authentication time.
