Hi again...
Thanks for a great app. Got 2.0.1 on my iPad and it works great. Just a little slow when I connect to my big installation Kodi with over 3000 movies, 100 tv-Series and 60.000 songs. Takes a long while to download the pictures for the movies and music. How does the app handle all the posters and artwork, does it download it to the iPad, and how much space does it need?
I love the app so much that I bought the pro version, think economical gratitude has to be shown for such a good app ;-)
Just an other question. If you remember me asking about the Artist tag that was needed to add to be able to see who the artist playing on a compilation was, I have now encountered another problem finding my music thru the search page. I know that you have put a lot of effort in to this app regarding Movies and Tv-Series / PVR, but I really miss the option of Artist search on the search page. Could you please add search of Artist, the same tag as entered under the song in the last request and appearing on 2.0.1 (NOT AlbumArtist) as well as the Album tag you already have?
People searching for artists need to be able to find the Artist that is the performing artist of a song, not who is the albumArtist. I would appriciate it emencely if this could be done.... Also please look into adding the Play in PartyMode option as a second playbutton on the Smart Playlists page.

Thanks in advance.

The Movies XL option stores the images (resized) version in memory. Initially this will take a while, but once downloaded it will go a lot faster. All of the images are downloaded and stored as a resized version on the device. I am using a library for that. That library also cleans up images that have not been used for a while.
You can see how much storage an app uses by going to the general settings -> storage & iCloud usage -> manage storage.

The cinemagraphs are downloaded to the tmp folder in the app. When your device needs more space iOS will clean up the tmp folders by itself. You could also force that by going the to maintenance menu option under settings.

This app is using a lot of external images so it can really use a lot of space in time.

On the iPhone I have left out the search in Kodi option with the idea to bring a new feature (in the future and for both the iPhone and iPad) to the menu items it self. My idea was that (in your scenario) when you open music there will be a new button called search in Kodi music library which allows you to search for multiple items (e.g. album name, overview, artist name, song name, etc.). The same for movies, series etc.
