XBMC works fast in loading movies and music from a shared network resource (Synology NAS), however, opening and closing directories with pictures is terribly slow (avg picture size 2-3Mb)
If I connect XBMC to pictures on another shared network resource (Windows 7 shared files on Core i5) then I experience the same problem, be it slightly faster.
Please does anybody have a suggestion?
What causes pictures directory to load/close so terribly slow and what can be done?
PS
I have read various posts and am getting stuck in trying out all possible scenarios (using SMB sharing, UPNP sharing) and finally failing to succeed due to lack of knowhow with a premounted network sharing (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=65788&page=3).
I also believe that SSD is not the real solution as suggested in http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...low&page=3 since in previous versions of XBMC, before Dharma, I never had this problem using the same hardware as today. It seems more a network/buffering problem for small files (?)
I am running Lucid on Asrock 330ION with Dharma beta 4.
BTW I have the same problem running W7 on Asrock 330ION with Dharma beta 4.
