Hi macf1an
>nice job! the folders are finally gone!
GREAT
>it's very strange that different lists produce up to twice the amount of time required for processing.. maybe it has to do something with format of the plx that is slowing things down. just a guess..
No Idea!!
>Browsing history and My Favourites now open fine but no history is maintained. Is this part implemented ? Local disk playlists still result in a file not found error.. My videos still doesn't return to the plugin.
>Why not follow iR0NBiLL's advice (if you haven't already) and discuss how they do it in the script?
Already doing it like in the script regarding My Videos, the difference is that you are already in video mode when you launch the plugin, so i think it is a problem within XBMC itself!!
What about Playlists does that work now??
History is not implemented yet!!
>Grooveshark works though it's slowish - shows about 8 dialogs from the processor before playing. Do you follow the official Grooveshark Script thread? Latest release has a fix that shows the real track name instead of stream.php
Will take a look at that later on!
>btw have you considered getting an ATV 2? Being the cheapest (read: very popular) all-in-one HW platform for XBMC - it's currently on sale for less than $90 ... and Apple are still signing the 4.3 SW - meaning you can have a proper unthetered "fix"
Have no need for one .. but you are welcome to contribute one :-)
cheers

Playlist loads very fast on my XBMC windows. As I understand how something loads (if the result is correct) generally got nothing to with the script or plugin.
And it's more likely an XBMC issue. I bet this got to do with thumbnails loading on plugins. So a playlist with more thumbnails load slower for you.
@ macf1an You could try some other plugins and look if those playlist load slow as well. So we know your issue is not only on the navi-x plugin.
@Cool_bombom Could you add the description of an item. So we can choose for instance on skin Confluence - layout: media-info and layout :fanart.

it's not the loading of the playlist that's slow - it's the time between clicking and starting of playback of an item in the playlist

I have the answer as to why playback processing is slower in the plugin than in the script... the script doesn't require all XBMC resources be loaded for use... the plugin does because everything is diaplayed "within" XBMC and not just what's pushed on the python interpreter... the plugin requires resources for both be allotted in memory and because of it, a plugin will typically perform a little slower than it's script counterpart.
This is one of the reasons Rodejo originally chose to make Navi-X a script instead of a plugin, not to mention there is typically more development limitations / on a plugin than just a script.

Ahh you just enlightened me a little.
Will the script be compatible with python 2.7 in Ubuntu 11.10 ?

The Navi-X 3.7 and up versions have 100% been checked with Python 2.7.
I expect if you get XBMC to work on Ubuntu 11.10, then yes. Rodejo has confirmed the new code is 2.7 compatible.

Heads up...
Navi-X 3.7.2 for XBMC was released today and now includes IceFilms support!!
It will be implemented on our Boxee app very soon as well. For now, check out our XBMC app for working IceFilms....
Can be found on the main playlist > Site Scrapers > IceFilms

great news! a few remarks:
since the file is already uploaded to the navi-x googlecode page - why not update the scripts.plx so that people can update with just a click?
why not implement a feature like in the plugin where you can get a list of items starting with a particular letter?
No HD-only filter!
I have the playback running fine with 3.7.1 -what difference will 3.7.2 bring?
It's great not having to wait 45/25 seconds !!
