Shadow_Mx Wrote:Local database and local thumbnails, sharing from SMB (win7).Hmmm. Thanks for the video to illustrate things. Well, after watching that, all I can say is that my thumbnails load about that "fast" too, but I would definitely call that slow! :0 With the "official" build, thumbnails seemed to be loading much more quickly than that.
I tried MySQL and thumbnails on NFS, as well as sharing from NFS, but navigation was slow overall, and NFS would take longer to open shares/files compared to SMB.
Thumbnails are not instant, but they load faster than before. It would take like 1 second per thumbnail (10 thumbnails in this particular view, no fanart,) right now it's loading in about 5 seconds, and by the time I start browsing other movies, they're already loaded.
edit: video
What might help prove/disprove that would be to check your xbmc.log and see if there are any lines like "Thumbnail loaded in xxx ms" after a thumbnail loading line. Each of my thumbnails loads in the hundreds, if not thousands, of milliseconds. They didn't do that when I was running the official build.
