I'm running xbmc camelot on a x86 lucid box, with a svn (hg) version of this awesome plugin. I've installed ffmpeg, and mounted my recordings directory. I have a mythbackend on another local computer, version 0.23. I've tested the backend with another frontend, and confirmed that I can watch tv, etc.
In mythbox, I've setup the hostname of the backend, and the un/pw of the database, and it tests correctly.
But when navigating the menus, and even just trying to setup the config, the GUI is excruciatingly slow.
It takes at least 2 minutes from the time that I press the enter key to the time that the text entry popup comes up when trying to enter a hostname in the config. navigating the menu that's up currently is nice and fast, but changing the view either back to another menu, or opening up a popup takes forever.
I stuck with it, hoping that it will get better, and setup mythbox. I went back to the main menu after testing the connection and tried to watch tv. It pulls up the guide, but when I try to watch a channel, it eventually just times out.
I decided to give this a go on a windows 7 machine. I will admit it is much faster then the linux version, but I still couldn't watch tv, it just timed out.
Can anyone tell me why this is so extremely slow on linux and why it's timing out when I try to watch tv?
