Hi Richard,
i am talking about the search in kodi during my performance statement, but not for the actor thing 1) & 2) (this is not a search, its tapping within the movie detail on the actor and expect that you see only movies from this actor that is in the local Kodi installation)
my statement on the actor is targeting that i would like to get a similar expirience when i select an actor within the movie detail window like i have in kodi.
selecting an actor in kodi will display only the movie that you have in the local db, selecting a movie from the list will bring you straight to the movie detail window of this movie and so on.


Even if searches are cached (which is fine), its at least from my point maybe a good place to optimize, because you will have a lot of different searches and if everything takes this amount of time, .... not very handy.

Same i asume for the performance 8 sec is quite a long response time for switching between movies & shows (without leaving the app

Just my 2 cents

Ah, ok...

The actors returned via the api don't have an unique identifier, just a name, role and thumbnail. This why in the first place I am getting the info for a movie from the internet. I then have a unique id for an actor. Of course in the database from Kodi the actor itself has a database id and can search for that. I don't have access to that. I am depending on what I get back from the api. That's why I don't like to work with only the info from the kodi db (but I guess you already figured that out :-)).

The search in Kodi searches for the name of the actor and not the id. If you have two actors called the same I can't distinguish them. Only a unique id can.

And may I ask on which iPad generation you are doing the search queries and the amount of movies/series.
You can send me a pm about that. I have then a little bit of a reference.
