All the annoying issues I've started seeing only started after I upgraded to Kodi.
My first issue was it taking forever to to apply filters to my movie library. It takes some 20-30 seconds just to bring up the filter menu.
Now I found a new issue.
My media is kept on a NAS and accessed via SMB shares. I also keep my database on the NAS as a MySQL database but have tested creating a local database and it made no difference with the filter issue I saw. I have over 800 movies in my movie library. Shows are not affected by the filter menu issue. This issue is present on both my windows based HTPC and android tablet.
I access through 1 share that has directories for movies, shows, and mini-series. Each subdirectory is added as a source so I can specify different scrapers. Pretty straight forward.
So the new issue I found was when I added a source in the same SMB share for temporary stuff. This stuff I don't want to be permenent in the library so I specified no scraper to scan this source.
Now, when Kodi scans my library, it takes 10 minutes to do a task that used to only take 15 - 20 seconds. This is a pretty significant change.
It happened before, but i didn't put my finger on what the cause was because I was playing around with a lot of changes. When it happened, I uninstalled and re-installed Kodi from scratch and rebuilt all the databases. After I added in my normal sources, it was working like expected, less the filter menu delay issue.
I honestly believe whatever changes were made in Kodi for database/library handling really messed up something as I did not have any of these issues on v13.
