Luna, PTVL takes about 2mins to even boot from trying to start it. Theres nothing at all in the log. Is there anything that could suddenly be causing such an issue with PTVL. Everything else is fine. Fresh installs. Trying to use just one channel, or 200 channels. All still takes ages to load. but does load properly.

Is there any checks/searchs it does when u first run that could be getting tied up?

Cheers

You gave me ZERO information to form any type of conclusion...

System specs, OS, types of channels (livetv, internet, local, etc)...

But if you're happy leaving me in the dark, I'll guess... Syzygy

Haha, I was just asking what does PTVL go looking for before it even starts to load channels? running XBMCuntu, AMD Turion™ II Neo N54L (2.2GHz)
and some grapics card i dont recall lol. Its been running perfectly but something i've done has changed this. I've updated to PTVL and tried multiroom setup. i reverted Multiroom changes but its still loading insanely slow, even on autotuned local content, no fancy channels. Channel type makes zero difference, content type makes zero difference.

**edit- may have found a lot of the issue. I moved everything to a MySQL backend, as well as changing the source for movies/tv from local folder to the SMB:// version. I reverted the database back to local from MySQL but forgot to revert the local source being SMB. it seems when it involves SMB to any degree it chugs to hell. Even when i had the multiroom setup with MySQL and SMB shares. First start creating channels/updating channels, took easily over 24 straight hours on my server/main box. It took about 6+ hours on my much more powerful i7 macbook. Normally it would take an hour or perhaps two on the lesser machine.
