M700 playback and OSD slow

Hi all, I’ve noticed that playback and browsing via the OSD on my M700 has become very sluggish recently. I concede there‘s a chance this may just be perception as I mostly use a Co-Starred Strato and M500 with the faster interface, but I think not, as at times it can take many seconds for the OSD to reappear after stopping playback and browsing the OSD has become quite stuttery. Has anyone else noticed performance on an M-Class player slowing over time? Might it be a server issue? Or could it be because my Premier System is paired with my Strato system, but this particular player, the M700, is not paired with a Strato player?
 
The Co-Star does slow the transition between systems (Premiere playback versus Strato playback), it's just a cost of having access to both systems simultaneously. That said, not sure exactly what you're seeing there, could certainly be a server. Could also be a networking, or player issue, but if you are referring to getting a Black screen for 10+ sec before the OSD reappears, or content starts playing, then likely just a result of using the Co-Star.

I read your post as partly that things are slower when viewing cover art from the Premiere system versus viewing the cover art through a Strato. For me, this is indeed the case. The Strato/Terra system is much faster showing cover art than the 3U or 1U+. This is why I no longer view cover art on the stand alone Premiere system - I always use Collections. For the Strato co-Star paired system I still use both Cover Are and Collections view depending.

However, as Jim says, when actually playing and stoping movies it should be slightly slower through the Strato/Co-Star but I haven’t really noticed that much of a difference.

Good point John, I might have misunderstood his comment.

Thanks all, yes John is right that I’m experiencing this with a *non* paired M700 which is in a paired system. I think it does seem to add a lag to the system, even if the player itself is not paired. Anyway, first world problems!
