Long delay with Hitcher

**zag** · 2009-09-18 14:33

Same problem here, I reported it in the main Hitcher mod thread.

I get a 5 second delay on entering the movie/music/tvshows/games screens.

It was never there in earlier mod versions, I think its to do with one of the views that were added. It appeared about half way through the mod.

Turning off recently added does speed things up a little but not much.

I've only used showcase and multiplex and the delay is the same for both, roughly 5 seconds. I'm not sure what features you're refering to. Weather and Recently Added is off, Fanart is on, Info is off.

Just to update this - here's a snippit of the debug log when entering tv shows from the main menu:

Code:

45:01 T:5080 M:2281299968    INFO: Loading skin file: MyVideoNav.xml

45:05 T:5080 M:2272587776   DEBUG: Alloc resources: 4237.16ms (4211.94 ms skin load)

It would appear the delay is all in loading the MyVideoNav.xml. Is there a way to generate a more detailed log that may indicate where the hangups are happing in loading that file and all of the <includes>?

Thanks,

No, but that has something to do with the LowList, so if you're not using it I suggest you remove it's entry in MyVideoNav.xml and se how that works for you.

Now we're getting somewhere Smile

I don't use lowlist at all so it would be great if I could remove it and speed up this mod.

Can anyone describe how its done in simple terms?

If i understand Hitchers post correctly you open up myvideonav.xml in notepad or similar and find and delete this line <include>Viewtype_List_Low</include>.

Hitcher · 2009-09-22 15:40

Correct.

paul · 2009-09-22 15:45

eee by ecky thump i were right.
So no need to remove it from the includes.xml? Smile
