hi slyi!
).
where a urlresolver call (and therefore a net request) is not needed, just don't import urlresolver (which therefore would not import urllib2 or httplib) - i thought that was what you were suggesting originally?
of course if you want to rewrite urllib2 and make it available we could use that instead but it seems like a lot of effort and lots of added code to maintain to save a few seconds on a particular device...
i still think it might be easier to track down the actual problem (but then i guess i would say that as it wouldn't be me doing it).

I come from a web world where page load time is #1 priority.i do too, but none of my devices have this issue so i have not noticed a problem until you brought it up (looked at getting appletv boxes but they seem too underpowered for this kind of thing to me
). slyi Wrote:If your net library had simple http get function using only a basic socket like on http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=110698 it would be very responsive for most actions until your require a advanced http get or post request.sounds a bit annoying to me, we basically end up rewriting urllib2? i can't see how you determine when you want a 'simple' or 'advanced' call (or what the difference is). we would have 2 APIs and push the choice back down to the addon dev? i'd rather someone worked out why the fault exists in the first place than add all that complication....

- Load your plugin & display categories (no net request & sub second load time)
- Pick a category eg: TV A-Z (no net request & sub second load time)
- Pick letter eg: X (simple socket get request & sub second load time)
- Pick Show eg: X-Files (simple socket get request & sub second load time)
- Pick Season eg: Season 1 (no net request & sub second load time)
- Pick Episode eg: episode 1 (advanced net request and resolve with the 4 second load time)
- Pick Stream source eg: Stream 1 (advanced net request and resolve with the 4 second load time)
