Hey guys i just biult a new HTPC i am accessing my media through a nas setup. My htpc specs are amd a6 5400k apu, 4 gbs of ddr 3, and a corsair 60gb ssd. I am using latest xbmcbuntu with aeon mq4 skin. Everything is working fine except very slow coverart loads sometimes takes upto seconds for them to load. I havent had issues like this before. Any help would be appriciated.

Cheers

Try default skin confluence to see if the "issue" improves or goes away... This is likely skin realted and as such this post then should be moved to AEON MQ4 subforums or alternatively you can go and moan at the skin developers

Yes, depending on source SMB/NFS the media is actually I believe verified it exists entry by entry or something only then the art is shown, TBH only a developer could explain this I probably got it wrong.
If a source is slower to respond it takes longer to display art... In Frodo this was all improved but though it is expected to work better and faster I think it has opposite effect.

Again only a dev can comment on process, and if necessary improve it.

If I leave a source powered off it takes half hour for xbmc to go through this and it seriously bogs down XBMC. a bug I reported but nothing has come of it. If at all related to this!

Any more on this? I just reinstalled xbmcbuntu and seemingly it hasn't fixed anything. Cover art bogs down. Some covers take seconds to pop up. Running win8 smb storage.
