So i'm on Pre-Eden 11.0, and i use the web interface alot.

My problem is, I've discovered its performance gets REALLY bad when there are alot of items.

Right now my Movie collection is floating around 750 Movies, TV Collection is something like 50 shows with 3000 total episodes, but the real killer is my music collection is well over 20,000 songs...

When i click on Music, it just seems to sit there forever with the spinning logo, and never loads. (atleast I gave up around the 30 minute mark....) Loading Movies, hangs horrifically as well, however will load after a 2-5 minutes.

Is there any way i can speed the web UI up? Maybe through putting a ram drive on certain "heavily taxed" areas, or a replacement web UI?

Debug log?

Are you using DDS images?

Are you using dirty regions?

Why not build an interface like a webremote.

Let the pc do the work. IMHO I dont know why sometimes people would rather sort through a huge list of files on a 4 or 5 inch phone when they have a huge tv they have to work with....

I'm working on a new default webinterface, but it won't make it into the upcoming release (Eden), sorry.

This might be more of an internal discussion question, but why not make the default web UI an add-on as well, so it will update when it is ready?

@ned, it already is

The whole thing would be solved by loading portions of the database at a time, instead of sorting through every record - which is expensive. The problem is, the way the database is currently structured, it takes a lot of twisting to get things the way we need them for display (multiple table calls, etc.)

I think that once we see an overhaul of the XBMC database, a lot of these issues will disappear... or at least be minimized.
