I just upgraded from 1.2.13 to 1.3.11. The new GB-PVR and recording service seem to work well. However, I experience a significant increase in navigation delay within PVRX2, especially transitioning to the TV Guide and Recordings pages, and navigating around the different Recordings menus.
My Live TV and Recordings source to a local disc, but a large portion of my recording library sits on a NAS unit elsewhere on the LAN, shared via SMB (//<ip address/<directory>/<recording>). I've used this setup for at least the last 3 or 4 versions of GB-PVR so it seems something has changed.
Through network sniffer, I verified that the HTPC is beating the LAN during almost every button push in the Recordings and TV Guide menus, especially when setting or deleting recordings. I don't know if it is PVRX2, the Recording Service, or both.
I'm not sure why PVRX2 or the Recording Service would need to access the LAN share more than once per navigation, but the delays render PVRX2 nearly unusable.
Short of adding additional HDDs and moving over 400G of recordings onto a local drive, does anybody know if there's a config.xml setting(s) I could flip to disable constant video library reads?
Thanks!
