I have found another issue. In TV shows, I'm using the fanart view. It is really nice except for a small lag or freeze for maybe half a second when browsing past the "..". I tried the skin night (since it has the same view) and did not experience this lag there.
EDIT1: I tried to resize the backdrop image curtains.png from 1080 to 720 since I only have a HD-ready TV. I only did it fast to try it so didn't really think about file size and quality and so on. The file ended up being about 300kb larger than the original (!) but still loaded faster. Now the lag is almost gone, so maybe the lag comes from scaling the image to the different resolution?
EDIT2: I deleted the curtains.png file all together and now the lag is completely gone. The problem lies in something to do with how the skin uses the backdrop images. Just a thought: I have useddsfanart set to true, maybe that could have something to do with it? I don't really care if I have a background image over the ".." so I'll just keep the file deleted! I'm a sucker for speed
EDIT3: Just had another thought. Maybe it's because you haven't compressed the media files into textures.xbt?
