Kodi Community Forum

Hi,

Am new the forums but familiar with Linux. I am using the following:

Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit 3.2-pae kernel, Intel Core2 [email protected], 4-GB RAM, Intel 40GB SSD
XBMC Nightlies, NVIDIA GT520 in Pass-through, Aeon Skin, Logitech Harmony Remote.


I am using nightlies mainly because, Eden doesn't support HD Audio pass-through yet.

My problem is this: When I choose, Infowall or Wall or Poster, a lot of thumbnails are just blank. The entire video info is there except thumbnail,poster and fanart. The most annoying thing is, the videos that do have posters etc do not show them again when I close and reopen xbmc. Its very unreliable.

For e.g:

1. I select "The Mummy", no poster or thumbnail is showed - just text content.
2. After a few more moments of scrolling and I come back to "The Mummy", everything is there - poster, fanart, the whole shebang.
3. But it gets annoying after I close and reopen xbmc. Back to point 1!

So, the wall basically looks empty. Sometimes, it loads the thumbnails and sometimes it simply doesn't.

I have been an extensive user of YAMJ and familiar of editing xml files. I did find out that some of the thumbs are in my ~/.xbmc/thumbnails/. Even then, these don't show up readily when I just select the video.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Rule out the skin by using Confluence.

2. If you have issues, you need to supply a Debug Log as that will likely tell what images are being loaded.

Thanks, Jmarshall.

Using Confluence. Issue Persists.

I did see somewhere that some skins are resource intesnsive and Aeon nox could be one of them. Scrolling through videos in Confluence is also similar.

But isn't there a way to tweak the properties/settings somewhere - I mean, my machine is solid. Lags can't be acceptable unless there is a specific setting in XBMC which deliberately delays loading thumbnails/posters by a few seconds.


Ok, what log do u exactly need? - just tell me where to look and I will get you that.

Thanks.

Did you not see the fact that it was a link?

Bump. Pl forgive me, if bumping is not allowed!

Bumping doesn't if you won't do what was asked.

click on this ----> debug log (wiki) <----

Relevant Section from Debug - Looks like XBMC is trying to get the poster from internet. My internet connection is actually a slow one.

Here is just a very small extract from above pastebin link:
