Aeon Nox 4.0 extrafanart caching questions - cryodream - 2013-02-01 First of all - love the skin. Thank you very much for a great job, guys. As I remember older versions looked up extrafanart folder "live", when browsing through the library. Now, with Frodo and version 4.0, when I check Textures13.db database, I see that extrafanart gets cached localy to the Thumbnails folder. That, imho, is very very good improvement. But what concerns me, is that all this extrafanart still gets cached "live", when browsing library, it seems.
I ask these questions because I have a very large library with many hard drives, which are sleeping most of the time. If skin keeps accessing the drives for the logos and extrafanart, like it was in earlier versions, this makes these cool features unusable with a large library and sleeping drives. As much as I remember , when browsing through movies/shows, UI kept freezing up, while waiting for the drives to spin up. So the problem is 2 fold: 1- UI gets unresponsive all the time, until all the drives are woken up, 2- drives are spun up, when they are not actually needed. I very much hope this problem is solved with a new and improved thumbnail caching system in Frodo. |
