any chance you can make use of imagemagick and make sure to resize and optimize thumbs? not sure but mabye now they are just downsized on screen yet some of mine might be big poster taking lot of processing power etc..
am I the only one with this issue? i have tried in firefox and ie 8, in chrome 6 clicking on movies in the left side menu shows blank black and not the choices as it should
But currently this is not supported by the API.
I cannot use imagemagick because it requires server-side programming (like PHP etc.) which is not supported too.
So we have to wait until some useful methods for this are implemented in the API.
Another idea is to set up an apache/lighty incl. php-module on the htpc and create a php-script which makes use of imagemagick and speed-up the thumb-loading-process by caching the resized images
Currently i am modifying the complete core of AWX.
Maybe after that i will write a php-based solution (which can be used optionally) to cache the resized thumbs.
