Slow .local .nfo scraping compared to The Movie Database
#1
Can someone explain what is going on here as I've found this by accident.
Applies to XBMC Gotham 13.2 versions - Openelec RPi, Crystalbuntu2 and OSX that I have.

All my movies are in seperate folders with corresponding metadata.

It seems if I set the following:

Set Content > Movies > Current Scraper > The Movie Database
- Movies are in seperate folders that match the movie > select
.. all others settings - deselected.

I end up getting a very speedy scrape occuring - a lot faster than if I set:

Set Content > Movies > Current Scraper > Local .nfo information only.

This has surprised me as I thought a local .nfo scrape would be way way faster. ?
-and yes my NFS network is quick.
-shared drives disconnected and library has also been cleaned between scrapes.

Anyone able to shed light on the difference, it seems counterintuitive ?

Hard to say, but if .nfo files are present then they will always be used, regardless of the scraper used.

Can you get us a debug log (wiki) of when this happens? Media with .nfo's seems about the same or faster when I tried it just now on 13.2

Its definately more noticable with a large library on a low powered device such as a RPi.

Will debug.log when I get a chance.
