I've moved thumbnails on a couple of devices and they are slow afterwards in some areas.
Well, i wonder why normal stuff (poster/fanarts/actor images etc.) come up really fast and get cached for sure, but complete info for moviesets in showcase with info panel/extrathumbs in that infopanel doesn't.
Quote:Skin.Helper addon might be in some of the views but again it just gets the artwork but I don't recall showcase using skin.helper so that is all down to what Kodi itself is doing.
It is Kodi supplying the artwork so Kodi is taking the time to get the artwork not the skin.
The skin doesn't re-scrape any artwork itself, we simply use properties provided by Kodi. If you use it it is Artwork downloader that initially gets and fills these properties in the DB for a movie.
I don't want to annoy you, but i'm pretty sure kodi still does not handle extrathumbs, clearlogos etc. by itself, does it? I ran artwork downloader a couple of times and those images are downloaded and safed along the movie data in their folders for sure, same for album artwork (which is also embedded in audio files tags). Those items get displayed really fast in other situations (i.e. the clearlogo of a movie in showcase behind the plot) but well, the clearlogos of movies in a movieset, which should appear in the extrathumbs positions of the info panel take much time to load, even after displayed once. Drives me a little mad, you know
