Hi,
first I just want to say I love XBMC and it's simplicity. Good job to everyone involved in any way.
I have a server with media files and a fast Internet connection (100/100Mbit) and have installed XBMC with my server as source at about 10 friends computers and at my HTPC running XBMC Live. I install the MediaStream skin everywhere if that is relevant.
The problem, or more just a annoyance, is that fetching meta data from IMDB and thetvdb when first indexing my server will take between one and four hours. I don't know if this is because of a requests/sec restriction in XBMC, the bandwidth needed for transferring data or throttled by IMDB/thetvdb or something else. I want to know if there is a way for me to store this data with the video files so that the indexing will go faster and I don't have to use resources at thetvdb?
