Hi,
I just started using the app and I'm currently comparing it to the other kodi remote apps.

I prefer the look and feel of KCC, but it seems to take forever to load (more than 60 seconds before the shows appear) with the data I'm testing it with (600+ tv series).

I see speed has been mentioned in the past as being an issue for larger collections, but that there's also a cache option if you upgrade to the pro version.

I note the official Kodi app doesn't have the same issues whilst doing the initial load.

Does the cache resolve the problem to a more manageable level? If not are there any plans to resolve it in the future?

Thanks

The cache option in the Pro version saves the time for asking Kodi again about the series because it has written the data to local storage and will retrieve that. However, it still needs to parse the data again (that time depends on the speed of your device) once the data is loaded.
Once the series screen closes the data is removed from memory.

For the movies part I have added two options:
- cache the movies in memory and keep them in memory.
- change batch size when retrieving the movies (version 1.7). You can configure the number of movies retrieved in a single query.

Those option are not available for series yet (still have plans for that).

With a large collection there's also time lost in serialisation of the data on the Kodi side. This will be improved in Kodi 16.

The difference with other remote controls is that I ask Kodi for additional data, so that it's possible to do other things.

Hi,
Thanks for the response.

I'm using Kodi on a Nvidia Shield TV and have Kyra installed on an ipad Air 2 - where is the bottleneck likely to be? Reading the data from the Shields internal eMMC or the ipad?

Do you have eta of when you might enable caching for the series?

Thanks
