Pastebin that's it, I knew there was a site for full logs I just honestly couldn't remember it. Lol

Ok sorry for the delay, here's a full log:

Also this here is what it looks like, notice the blank posters to the right, these fill in properly in the following seconds. I know this isn't a major issue since it does work if you give it a second. But its just odd cause when I go into my movies they all appear instantly, and I have hundreds of movies, and only around 15 tv shows, So I would have thought if the computer had issues rendering the poster art it would have happened in the movies as well.

Anyway heres the screenshot:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe xbmc caches the posters for your movies in its thumbnails database
However for tv shows I dont think it caches the posters locally this is why you get a delay as it reads the poster from each directory on the fly
Bear in mind this is an observation and not a 100% guaranteed answer although it sounds likely
BTW do you have the option use poster.jpg switched on in viewtype options?
Try toggling this and see if it helps any (will only work well if you scraped tv shows to download posters NOT banner originally)

Ah that would explain I guess why the movies works flawlessly. Is there anyway to get XBMC to cache the TV Posters as well?

I think I have it toggled, but I probably did it after it already scraped the banners, cause I had it as banners but didn't like it so changed to posters.

Is there any fixes for this?
