Is there a general theme favorite for Kodi in general that favors the performance of PseudoTV Live? I've got 3 different machines I'm playing with (desktop i5, Intel NUC i5 & an HTPC i3), and keep wiping out the entire configuration, uninstalling KODI, and reinstalling (I wipe out all folders too, just to be sure), and Pseudo seems to work great with Confluence loaded, but then I get to setting up Aeon ShedNox (the theme I love) and while Kodi runs like a champ still, PseudoTV's EPG turns into a total dog... moving from one channel to the next takes forever, if it even works at all. I've tried all kinds of optimizations, but no luck. Even let it sit there and run over night, to make sure it's all cached up...

Is there a general theme everyone uses, or prefers to use? I really need Custom Home Menus (Movies, Kids Movies, TV, Kids TV, TV UK)... and some themes don't offer custom Home Menus, and some only offer 3 or 4 custom types, and I need at least 5. Is my theme my potential problem, or am I looking too far out of the box?

So you are saying to performance of PTVL changes when you change Kodi skins?

Id be interested in hearing the answer to this as well...

FWIW I've done some pretty intensive testing on this particular subject and while I will say some kodi skins obviously run smoother than others (mainly due to the system they are running on) I've actually never noticed a difference in performance while in PTVL.

And in the interest of full disclosure, this exact question is what I've been trying to answer since I wrote my first skin back in the old PTV days. It's logical to think that running a more cpu intensive skin would have a dramatic effect on PTVL's performance but after testing just about every kodi/PTVL skin combo possible, Id say it doesn't seem to.

In fact, the only thing that really seems to affect performance of the EPG is the dynamic artwork option, again at least in my experience. YMMV.
