Is the default webinterface faster (with all the thumbs) than mine? Smile

yes it is a bit faster, but also it works in google chrome 6, at the moment i have issues using chrome with awx. and most importantly once all my movies thumbs are done in default web interface, it is super smooth to scroll up and down in my list, currently with awx it is very very laggy .. I am not developer so i have no idea why, anything to do with ajax?

Cool interface, I love it. But I agree, it is a little slow somentimes.

Can you add multi-language support? I would like to translate to my lang.

Thanks

Very nice! Would be nice if the breadcrumbs were links, you would be able to remove the back link too.

Ok, i found the "problem". My webinterface uses a technique called "LazyLoad". So the thumbs are only loaded when they are visible. Each time you scroll, it will check if one of the unloaded thumbs has become visible and if yes the thumb is loaded.
So if you show the "movies"-page and let 90% of your 200+ movie-thumbs unloaded it will check on each scroll if one of these thumbs has become visible --> laggy Smile

So if you scroll down until all thumbs are visible, scrolling will be smooth in AWX too Laugh

(please test and give feedback Smile

)
Maybe i will add a new setting where you can toggle use of LazyLoad.

BTW: Here i have no problems with chromium 5/6/7 Smile

I added this to the ToDo-list. But first of all, AWX should be mostly bug-free Big Grin

To which lang would you translate it? Smile

Breadcrumbs will be clickable in next version (complete page-structure was changed).

i will be interested to translate it in french, can't you use xml way like xbmc does?

Very good work so far. But it cripples my firefox when browsing music folders with a lot of entries. This will be the perfect replacement after some optimization.

toby77jo · 2010-10-10 11:54

i did some optimize on my jpg's for all movies:
1: (sudo apt-get install jpegoptim)
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ find . -name "*.jpg" -exec jpegoptim --max=75 {} \;
2: (resize, keeps aspect ratio!, you need to install imagemagic to use this)
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ find . -name "*.jpg" -exec mogrify -resize '1280x720>' *.jpg {} \;

oh and most importantly awx is like 3 times faster now, imagine i had some dvd covers in full hd =)

I think i would use JSON-Code for language files. This is as easy as xml and makes importing language files much more easier Big Grin

Probably it will look like this:

Code:

$.extend(languages, {

   'de': {

      'lang_val_1': 'Hallo!',

      'lang_val_2': 'Auf wiedersehen!',

   }

});

Maybe multi-language support will be added in next version.

Here is the new version. The code was heavily modified. So this is an experimental version. Big Grin

Note: LazyLoad is deactivated by default now. See Settings-Dialog.
