Hi Bart

I've been having performance issues with amber for quite some time now. Browsing libraries with any of the panel views or icons view is laggish.
If I scroll between home menu items that have shelves enabled, there is 1-3 second lag and after I have focused all menu items lag stops. But if I open some other window and go back to home menu, same issue occurs.

I tried to replicate this performance issue with arctic zephyr reloaded skin, setting it up as close as possible to same settings as amber, without success. Yet zephyr works butter smooth.

While troubleshooting noticed that 'show disc art' option for movie collections ain't working.

I'm running out of ideas where to look for next so wonder if you would have any suggestions? Was also thinking about clean installing amber, if there is something messed up, but not sure which files should I backup, so wouldn't loose settings?

@G0mez , my apologies for the delay in answering.  I am not sure what could be the cause of the performance issues.  One thing that I did notice in the past that made a big difference when loading shelves was if I had enabled "Use Embuary Helper for backgrounds" in the Background section of Amber settings.  When I had that set to Yes, the shelves took a lot longer to load.  Do you have that option enabled?

On another note, even though arctic zephyr reloaded also uses skinshortcuts for menu/submenu/widget configuration, the code for that skin is quite different from the Amber code, and, as you have found out, it looks to be more efficient.

Finally, even though it is a pain to have to recreate your configuration, if you do go the route of a clean install, do just that, do not keep any skin settings.  Your Kodi settings should not be affected if you uninstall Amber and later re-install it.

Regards,

Bart
