In the Add-Ons menu (custom-1110-Addons.xml) the totals often cause a terrible lag in navigating the menu.
Is there a way to turn them off in the skin options ?
I looked for it but couldn't find any. So I'm commenting/deleting them after each update of the skin. (I use sed for this.)

These lines :

Code:

<label2>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.TotalVideoAddons),, $LOCALIZE[31073]]</label2>
<label2>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.TotalAudioAddons),, $LOCALIZE[31073]]</label2>
<label2>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.TotalPicturesAddons),, $LOCALIZE[31073]]</label2>
<label2>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.TotalProgramAddons),, $LOCALIZE[31073]]</label2>
<label2>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.TotalAddons),, $LOCALIZE[31073]]</label2>

The system is my HTPC, which is an Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 with 8GB RAM, 2 SSDs, and RX 480, running Arch Linux + KDE/Plasma and Kodi.

Also,
when I choose an addon from Video (MyVideoNav.xml) or Music (MyMusicNav.xml) Kodi, Grid, or the add-on hangs for no apparent reason on the busydialog (DialogBusy.xml) throbber. Twice I let it sit (while doing something) else. And after about 1 hour, and about 1 hour 30 minutes, it was still hung and showing the busy throbber.
Any idea if this is in Grid, or Kodi ? I already established that addon is not even entered (by adding a line, that's logging "It's me!" to the Kodi log, as the first statement to execute at addon entry). It never appears in the log.
I have to lookup the PID number of Kodi (/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin) and kill it.

And this is with every add-on? Very strange, can't say I have seen this behaviour myself, and my HTPC is quite comparable to your system hardware wise. Skins don't really get involved when it comes to selecting a node, or in this case entering an add-on. So if this were to be skin related, it would have to be something happening on unloading the previous window or loading the next window. But if there's nothing showing up in the logs relating to a skin xml my guess is as good as yours really.

Does the selected viewtype make any difference?
