--- Comment #3 from Myriam Schweingruber <myriam@kde.org> ---
JFYI: you shouldn't pull from github, that is only a mirror, our sources are on
git.kde.org. Also be aware that we have two different branches currently,
Amarok 2.8-git which is master and amarok kf5 which is the ongoing Qt5 port,
still in pre-alpha stage.

Merged View does merge the various media sources into one, so if those are a
mix of local and remote, it takes quite some time to retrieve, especially if
you have a very large collection and if you set the Collection Browser view to
show the covers, and the "automatic Cover Art" retrieval is active. So please
try not to use the automatic cover retrieval and cover view in Merged View,
that should solve the problem. BTW, a collection on a NAS is not local, that is
only if all the tracks are on the same machine you are running Amarok on. 
Using the Merged View with remote collections has always be rather problematic,
as it depends on a lot of factors that can make this last forever.

As for the other problems you mention: please let's keep bug reports to one
item at a time, else this is impossible to handle.

FWIW: we have a support channel #amarok on irc.freenode.net (ask your question
and stay around, we are not online 24/7), and a forum on
http://forum.kde.org/amarok. The bug reports should be reserved for bugs only,
not for support request or build problems.

Finally: please run amarok in debug mode so you have a konsole output when this
is happening, so at least we have an idea what is going on (and it's also much
easier to attach a backtrace when it freezes).
