Hi,
Someone runs embuary skin on rpi3 ?
Last time I tried (more than one year ago), it was quite slow, especially with widgets.
For example, when navigating back from movies menu to main home, widgets (last added, random movies...) were refreshed and so redrawing.
When using Estuary, it's ok. (because it's using default widget I guess)
So I'd like to know the best way to configure embuary (and/or emby) to have the smooter experience.
Is it better to use emby for kodi (use native kodi libray) vs embycon (add-on access) for skin performance ?
Or the guilty one is skin.helper.service.widgets (or script.skinshorcuts) and the way they manages widget ?
Thanks

Just heard from users that it runs quite well on small s905 and rpi3 devices and also on the fTV stick gen1. Especially since I moved to my own helper script.
The skin helper services - that are included in other skins - are making everything slow on such devices. I don't use them at all so feel free to give it a try and deactive these unrequired addons in the skin settings of Embuary (under addons & dependencies). I've added an extra option for it.
Edit:
The gui will be faster with Emby for Kodi. EmbyCon is slower in walking through your Emby db.

This node is completely delivered and handled by the addon. As far as I remember this is a unwanted behaviour. Totally forgot about that. We will look into it. A video should not be listed in a folder if it's not in a folder.
Edit:
No bug, it's a 1:1 return of the Emby server.

Emby returns these icons. As you might have noticed I don't use default icons at all in the skin. If there is a artwork available provided by Emby this is going to be used. You can use the common list view for this node. It has a "Folder" note for these items on the right side.
Edit:
But you can simply change the icon on the server to whatever you want of these folders.

Nope. This custom hub required tons of hardcoded new lines. I just made one to please the most users, sorry.

Hi sualfred! I have found your script.embuary.helper very helpful to provide a list of the cast in the video views (I think it's the best option available), so I decided to use it in my skin Aeon Tajo.
Thanks for providing it through the official repo!
