Upon launching, the UI would lag really bad and nothing would get scanned in if I tried to add content Looking at the xbmc.log I got errors such as this:
"Can't get hostname for your address"
I found you have to go into your mysql directory and add "skip-name-resolve
" to your my.ini file. Afterward I restarted the MySQL service and it worked.
I am pretty sure I saw this somewhere else because the fix sounded really familiar, but if anyone else tries this and runs into the problem maybe this post will help them!
I am having issues exactly like you describe. Main Menu of the interface is SUPER SLOW. Once I am off the main menu everything moves quickly. Library not really functioning either. Going to try this fix tonight.
Does "skip-name-resolve" need to be in any special place in the my.ini file?
Thanks!
