Description
- Hardware: Fire Stick 4K
- Kodi version: 19.2 Matrix (armeabi-v7)
- projectM addon version: 19.0.0-Matrix
When using a preset directory containing loads of .milk presets (in my case 2000+), the random change function sometimes takes up to 3 seconds to switch to a different preset, making the audio stream (probably Kodi itself) hang/stop sound. This is weird, since the hardware should handle that easily, I assume. The presets directory is located directly on the internal memory of the Fire Stick 4K.
I already opened an issue over at projectM's main repo here: https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm/issues/545
It would be nice if someone could investigate this. Thank you.

Research direction
The report provides no repository files or tests to start from. Reproduce random preset changes on a Fire Stick 4K with more than 2,000 .milk presets, then compare the behavior with the linked projectM issue; done means preset changes no longer cause multi-second lag or audio interruption.
