I have following configuration:
- MediaStream 1.0
- XBMC 8.10 Atlantis bf1
- Launcher 0.9
- AppleTV firmware 2.3
Currently backdrops are enabled for Weather, Movies, TVShows. I'm mainly using the AEON backdrop packs. Files are locally stored on ATV HDD.
Problem is when I navigate on Home menu items ATV suffers on loading the images. Sometimes it stuck on one menu items for 4-5.seconds before giving me the control back.
Truth is that some of these pics are 1080p res. Size around 1 MB.
I've tried to change form JPG to BMP without too much results on performance. Downscaling to 720p might be a speeding factor
... BUT...
Weird thing is that looks that XBMC uses some caching mechanism. It does image caching periodically and in certain context no delay when I'm navigating up-down in Home. And then it looks that cache is removed after a while. So just wondering whether somebody have already managed to make a smooth experience with custom backgrounds and ATV... (by means of configuration or code change)
