Hi all,

I find the performance of XBMC rather poor when it's time to browse my music library.
Even browsing just 1 album with 5 songs inside, it does not display the cover art quickly.
In fact I have to wait many seconds to see all covers (that are all the same).

As explained on the wiki, I uncheked the "Look for thumbs on remote shares" options in the music settings.

Did I missed something while scanning my library ?
Or is there a configuration to speedup the process ?

My setup :
* 11 files, 57 Go
* upnp server: Mediatomb on Ubuntu 9.04 64 bits
* upnp client: XBMC on Windows XP and eeePC 900
* after scanning the library I got a 29Mo MyMusic7.db file

Any comments welcome...

Please see the sticky regarding posting problems in a useful manner.

Server Part:
* OS: Ubuntu 9.04 64 bits; kernel 2.6.28-14-generic
* UPnP server: 0.11.0-3ubuntu2 installed from apt-get
* HW: Intel Atom 330 dual core - 2 Gb RAM

Client Part:
* OS: Windows XP Home Edition SP2 build 2600
* XBMC 9.04.1 r20672 (Compiled: June 2 2009)
* Skin MediaStream - theme default
* HW: Intel Celeron M 900 MHz - 1 Gb RAM
* debug log: http://pastebin.ca/1541180

Mediatheque:
* 9629 files, 57 Go
* MyMusic7.db = 28.5 Mo

@althekiller: the exercise was interesting.
From the log I discovered XBMC creates the thumbs on the fly.
But, it took something like 3 days to scan all the media and add it to library.
Is there a way to force XBMC to directly create the thumb rather than on the fly ?
So I wonder what does XBMC exactly do while adding a source to the library ?

Thanks in advance for any help and explanation.

I have to add that the option Settings/Music/Files/Look for thumbs on remote shares
is unchecked.
