Hi All,
I have an issue that I cant seem to find others have mentioned.
It has to do with the time delay to display background images, while transversing through the movie library (haven't tested it/really cared about with TV library yet).
I feel this is a bug and I am hoping it can be fixed easily.
Before I get into it, all my fanart is local and I do not go to the internet within Kodi to scrape it, meaning the delay I am experiencing is not because it is going to the Internet to get the background. I have tested this by changing the fanart images to something totally different to the movie and it shows what I changed the images to.
So, after experimenting, in the ART menu, if I have DEFAULT FANART selected, the background (fanart.jpg) is shown instantly.
However, I have extrafanart and prefer to have my backgrounds rotating through the other fanart files. This works perfectly, but after a 10-15 sec delay.
When I turn on EXTRA FANART, this is when a delay of 10-15 seconds occurs, then the fanart1.jpg is loaded, and then fanart2.jpg, etc... Once it starts, there is probably 5 seconds between each change of fanart image. What is shown in the 15 seconds is the Theme background for Movies (I'm using pumpkin theme, but it does the same in the default theme, and it does the smae with different list views (such as Kodiflix, List 3d)
Here are the settings I am talking about:
So, why do I think it is a BUG? Basically, I'm thinking that in that 10-15 seconds, it should be showing fanart.jpg.
Any ideas?
Is this something that can be fixed?
I would like to mention that I ran MQ7 with the Leia Mod against the same data, and it was perfect, meaning with EXTRA FANART switched on, it loaded the backgrounds instantly.
Welcome to try any ideas, and quiet able to change any code if required.
Im using Kodi 18.7, 64bit on Windows 10 64bit, with MQ8 2.9.0 and the latest release of Multi-Mod
Thanks,
Rob
