Quote:if i remember correctly if you are having a delay issue and have a central database for all your thumbnails on a networked place like a server this is what causes the delays because it has to connect to that networked drive to access the fanart and thumbnails a way to get around this is to create your thumbnails locally and then once everything is scanned in you can copy it to the other machine into the thumbnails folder
the delay for the video to start playing could be caused by either once again accessing a networked drive that has spun down because it was idle or if you are using wifi connection it could be a bandwidth issue and it requires some degree of buffering and also could be caused if your htpc is not particularly powerful
Thank you for the reply. I do not use my NAS for the thumbnails because of this very issue. I keep a copy locally on each device. I also only use SSDs. In terms of playing video, my NAS is set to never spin down. The machine I tested this on is hardwired to the same router the NAS is. Again, I didnt have these issues with the previous version of XBMC on the same hardware.
