xnappo 1611 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Hi All, A new beta with significant code changes is available in the Beta repo - and I need testers. This version has extended the 'Fast Movies' idea into all large collections. To enable - go into the 'Services' sub menu and scroll all the way down. Enable 'Enable Fast Processing (beta)'. You should see a 2x increase in speed. Note - if you have created menu entries manually you will need to re-create them to see the speedup. Skin guys (@@im85288 @@marcelveldt) - I am not sure how you automatically add items to the main menu, but see changes in 'getDetailsString'. Please post logs of any issues! xnappo Edited December 23, 2014 by xnappo
xnappo 1611 Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 There was a bug in 0.9.742 where TV listings would not work. Fixed in 0.9.743
marcelveldt 736 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 We're using the new skin properties from the skin thread.... Just tried on my main httpc and menu's are all dead now....

marcelveldt 736 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 One more bug 0.9745 is up, fixes the skin helper thread problem. Ah, great!
Luke 42077 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 has the smaller server data been a help? (not numbers-wise but in terms of perfection of running on slower systems).
im85288 1493 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 There has not really been any feedback on that for the slower system users, but having reduced all the images to a maximum of one it should have had some benefits. Having just tested the "fast" mode with this update though it does seem very quick, images were there instantly in my browsing. Good job @@xnappo
Luke 42077 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 yea the update could also still be rolling out, seeing as you need both updated server and client for it
xnappo 1611 Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 @@Luke - yes big time - this 2x speedup is only possible with the new data. So for the menu properties in the skin thread - you guys will need to change the 'detailsString' for those entries...
marcelveldt 736 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Really fast on my systems too, good job! @im85288, did you allready change the "detailsString" in the skinthread code ? Titan menu's now fail with a script error if the fast mode is enabled...
im85288 1493 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Yes, I removed the call to get collections with the detailed string as that method signature changed. That fixed the problems for me in 0.9.745 Have a look here at the changes: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser.Kodi/commit/0e50a07ff8c4f674b83fac863fca5a566afbf1e4 Edited December 23, 2014 by im85288
xnappo 1611 Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Sorry for being ignorant as to how this works - but where exactly do you get the path for the nodes to display on the home screens?
im85288 1493 Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 A new version is up 0.9.746 which contains a bug fix when using the fast processing mode. Sorry for being ignorant as to how this works - but where exactly do you get the path for the nodes to display on the home screens? It just delegates everything to the MainModule getColllections method and populates them in a similar way to what is done in the skin method.

puithove 209 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Using 0.9.746 - When I have the "fast" service option turned on, all my boxset collections are empty - meaning I have no posters and no logo for the "collection" entries in my movies list, and when I click on them, they don't open. If I turn off the option and restart Kodi, collections work normally again. This is with Titan skin. Edited December 26, 2014 by puithove

xnappo 1611 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks - I was wondering where 0.9.746 came from..
xnappo 1611 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Posted December 26, 2014 Lots of bugs in 0.9.747 with fast data. Fixed in 0.9.748. Fast data now used for Series and BoxSets. 1
Angelblue05 4132 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) I'm going to assume 0.9.748 doesn't fix the error I've been getting, because I'm still experiencing the issue. I'll wait for a future version. Anyway, as for the fast movies, it works great and it's really fast too. I have no loading time on my side, but I also only have 200 movies. My boxsets showed up this time. Now if this stupid error would go away.... It's only when it calls for the root folders that I get this error. Line causing the error: XBMB3C DownloadUtils -> DOWNLOAD_URL = 192.168.0.190:8096/mediabrowser/Users/a1bb43b93687d6361173a92774062f64/Items/Root?format=json How other Download utils look like: XBMB3C DownloadUtils -> DOWNLOAD_URL = http://192.168.0.190:8096/mediabrowser/Users/6a9cb6714653c32997a4ef3d56a13743/Items/fdae1b145cae40640c4db08c3e041257?format=json Edited December 26, 2014 by Angelblue05
im85288 1493 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Yes sorry still no changes from me on that one, it's going to be a kind of trial and error I fear where we are continuously trying to resolve changes not picked up by IP address/user changes. The "best" way to fix this is also going to be the most work. It's still on the todo list though so keep an eye out for new versions
