Drazzilb Wrote:1. What is your hardware?
AMD Athlon 2500+ 1.84GHZ 2gb Ram (the only thing i see here is if the code you use requires much more system resources than others IDK honestly)
2. What OS?
XP Sp 3
3. Is the problem only for Movies or does it affect Music and TV Shows?
For all libraries
4. What is the size of you Movie collection?
Quite small only around 50ish movies and the TV Shows are only like 5 or 6 different series nothing is complete I've honestly just found XBMC and decided to convert all my video to digital so nothing is finished.
The only thing weird is that this is the only Skin that it does this with just about all the others I've tried so far don't load quite as slow.
I have installed your most recent build BTW
Got to be honest I am not sure what is causing the problem. I have many more movies than that but don't get a delay anything close to that.

Yeah even when i set the processing priority to above normal for XBMC it doesn't seem to make any difference to it.

To be honest I am thinking about moving on to modding the confluence skin. I prticularly like the current mod for it called Influence.

I looked at that one my self. I liked a lot of the features that it had however the views are what turned me off. I like the views and the basic stream lined set up and views you have on rapier however if you do go to confluence please let us know I do like what you've done here as well as your support is freaken awesome.
Thanks

Hi!
I would like to know if it's possible to add PVR support into to your skin?
I really love it and I would use it prefered but I really miss the TV.
Don't know if this could help but Aeon has support for it:

Thanks

Already asked this question this is what was replied

However I'm 100% with you. PVR is the icing on the cake for XBMC and its Skins.

Yes I know about the answer, but it is NOT necessary to have a Tuner Card within the HTPC.
You just have to install a MediaPortal Server and give it a "fake" tuner card (IPTV or something like that) cause PVR feature needs a TV server.
That's it.

The mod is great but still no SKIN SETTINGS in the System menu? Why?
btw, please write the date of the update under the download link. It's easy to track it.
Thanks

skin settings can be implemented by pressing the "up" key on settings.

Qualar,
The issue Drazzilb is talking about with thumbnails/posters lagging, and being "slow" is real, i experience this also. It's the skin that's doing it, it's not a hardware issue. I have reason to believe the issue is with the thumbnails not loading in the "background"
ReFocus had this issue also, but only with it's poster view. When using confluence and most other skins i could scroll extremely fast through thumbnail views/poster views etc without issue, though when trying to scroll fast through ReFocus's 'poster view' it would quickly become slow and unpleasant. I raised the issue with the developer and he tried to tell me it was a hardware issue also, though upon further investigation, he released a new version that fixed the issue. I believe he changed thumbnails to load in the background just like they do in confluence and many other skins.
I'm having the EXACT same issues with ALL versions of rapier.
Quoted from Jeroen (creator of ReFocus) "For me Confluence loads all images too, so it could be down to how fast the system is. That said though I did notice that I forgot to set the poster images as textures to load in the background. I have now also set it to always preload 4 images. So I'm hoping this will speed it up for you. It did for me although nothing earth shattering. If you have to scroll through a large library though I would advice to use the scrollbars as that will always be much faster."
Hope this helps, if you do this for most views the skins speed will be greatly improved i believe. Maybe you could contact him for further info on how he fixed it. But a assure you, it's a problem with the skin and NOT hardware.
cheers,
and great work btw

Hi...
I'm agreeing with the others requesting PVR support in this awesome skin!...
I really would be the icing on the cake!
I will gladly help develop it, although i don't have the necessary skills to develop it. But i can beta test and send feedback, screenshots of other PVR skins, etc.
