Can anyone voice an opinion on the lag I am seeing in my implementation? See post 176 (:
EDIT: It appears to be the thumbnails sharing that is causing the slowdown, and a terrible one at that. My set up again:
XBMC main player/media and thumb server (hooked to my main TV)
Zotac ion build with 500gb laptop drive, Win 7
Videos are on external 1TB drive, loads quickly.
Thumbnails are in the default location for XBMC and set to share (appdata/roaming/...)
Remote PC
Windows 7, libraries are being fed to it via MySQL set up in this thread.
Thumbnails are symlinked to main XBMC player. ( I disabled symlink and went back to original thumbs and the speed was as fast as before MySQL was set up, so it is not MySQL causing the slow downs)
Anything you can think of that I can try to get these to load up faster. As I said its nearly 20 seconds before I can actually select a movie to play
