It's makes a big difference, i'm sure you will agree.

I'm having a problem with this - looks like the advancedsettings.xml is loading correct. however, i went through like 20 videos in my library, and it didn't create DDS artwork for any of them. However, when I browse my thumbnails folder, it shows it made DDS for the thumbnails of the movie, and the backgrounds that i use in the main menu - but not the fanart. For some reason, i can't get it to make DDS of the fanart. Am I doing something wrong? I have fanart.jpg currently in each movie folder. How do I fix this?

would it be possible for ALL images in a skin (menus etc) to be converted into .dds and then for xbmc to support this?
The fanart makes a huge difference on nvidia ion pc's but would be great if the whole skin was just as speedy.

What is the status of DDS image now ? The forums seems to have silence down about it ?

I think this is a great idea. While I don't use my netbook as my main media center, I still use it to test scripts and make modifications to skins. I find that some of my fav skins are the slowest ones out there.
Backdrops to DDS - Delivereath - 2010-10-06 22:54
Hi,
I've seen that it is recommended to enable dds conversion to get a faster backdrop loading.
However, I'm not even able to find where are the current backdrops stored.
I checked in /userdata/ and there isn't any Thumbnails folder.
Any idea on how to do this ? I'm using XBMC on Apple TV.
Thanks

okay im curious about this dds setting as well. Right now I have ATV (the old one) running 3.0.2 with xbmc 9.11 and launcher 3.2.5 and an old Alaska skin that had all the image files optimized so that it will run better on ATV. It's not as responsive as i'd like but much better than running the original alaska.
Now you guys who are running linux version on your ATV. Does it make a big improvement when running graphically intensive skins like Alaska? What added benefits do I get by installing linux on ATV? Will my 720p mkv files play smoother. I don't have the crystalHD chip or anything and at the moment some of my 720p mkv files play fine, but others seem to skip frames.
And you guys who are running linux on ATV are you using the latest Dharma build? I am still on 9.11 camelot. Was curious if the new dharma has any optimizations for the AppleTV. I really don't want to spend $750 to get a mac mini. If i can find a way to make my ATV faster, I'd love to.

You don't need to change to linux to try dds support - upgrade to a newer version and it will work.
- turbinez - 2010-10-08 17:14
upgrade to a newer version? Is 9.11 camelot new enough?
