Ok. Could you please test this:

- Scenario 1: Remove the background tags of the empty_XXX.png and the image_shadow_small_nf.png controls

- Scenario 2: Remove the image_shadow_small_nf.png controls and keep the empty_XXX.png's

- Scenario 3: Remove the empty_XXX.png's and keep the image_shadow_small_nf.png controls


Please do not just exclude them with <!-- -->. There is a bug in the $PARAM method in some cases. You have to delete that lines completely.

Edit:
Thanks for doin my job btw Smile But this is faster than running blind tests and waiting for your feedback.

Hey Fred Smile

You seem to be busy with debugging but I would still like to ask rather it is possible to have a reworked PVR Homescreen?
I know from an earlier post you like it this way but I would like to ask if it is possible to be able to have more than one row of channels since they can be grouped like Sports, Pay-TV, FreeTV, News Channels,...

I grouped my channels and I thinks it is faster to go to one group (widget) and search for your channel instead of having to look through 100 channelsHuh

So it would look like for example TV Shows Screen but with Channel Groups as Widgets

RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - sualfred - 2016-02-12

Nope. They will stay as they are.

RE: fTV with full working and integrated LiveTV part - eskay993 - 2016-02-12

As reported, commenting out the shadows did not work.

The only way to get the latest to run smoothly is to comment *_empty.png AND all the genre_crop.png lines. Then it runs smoothly. Having the shadows in or out has little effect.

I won't be able to do logs tonight but will try tomorrow.

Cheers

Okay, I did scenario 2 first cause I didn't understand number 1. It still lagged. Scenario 3 didn't help either.
Now I did scenario 1 i think, I remove every line of code that has <texture background="true">common/default_empty.png</texture> whichever had the any of the "empty.png" in it, i didn't delete the whole control though, was I supose to delete the whole control?, number 1 seemed to have cut down on a little bit of the lag, but not too significant. Again, i'm not sure, if i did exactly what you're asking for that one. Here is a log of scenario 1: http://xbmclogs.com/pywhyof5b

Apologies, ignore my earlier post. I only just noticed your request. I'll do that tomorrow and report back.

Okay, take your time. I'm in the hospital in the meantime, her water broke. I guess I'm not available the next 2-5 days.

Or as the philosopher Arne once said,: I'll be back Tongue

Thanks for that! Sadly not, but more testing... The following was all done with your latest commit.

  1. If I comment out all default_empty.png from this latest version (just to test) it still stutters badly
  2. If I completely replace IncludeWidgetLayout.xml from the one from 2.0.9, it runs much better but still every so slightly sticky.
  3. If I replace IncludeWidgetLayout.xml with the one fom 2.0.10 (the first version where the major stuttering started) but comment out ALL lines with _empty.png textures, it runs smooth as butter!

It's odd, but there is something in that file I can't quite pinpoint. I can do logs this evening with all 3 of the above and maybe something comes out of it. I'll also do some more testing of difference versions.

Cheers

Can you provide your includewidgetlayout.xml? Where do you put it? Thx

Download it from github, look at the older commits of the version, and download it then put it in 16x9 folder

The one I found works the best is v 2.0.10 slightly modified to remove the *_empty.png. Download here, and unzip it to you 16x9 folder in your skin folder. Restart kodi after. Curious to see if this fixes it for others as well.

Note, the banner and I think the genre stuff will not work with this version.

Congrats mate! Hope it all goes well Smile

I tried all 3 scenarios and they had little effect. Just to confirm, I deleted the relevant bits, not just comment out.

With this latest version the only thing that has an impact is removing ALL the background=true tags. It's not as smooth as the modified 2.0.10 version I mentioned but it is more useable the the current one.

Let me know if there is anything else you would like me to test.

Cheers

That makes no sense -

Quote:Background loading

Images are loaded one at a time in a background worker thread and are shown as soon as xbmc processes them. Has the benefit that images can be loaded into memory before they're visible, resulting in smoother scrolling and transitions
