Sluggish UI performance

[bkgeist]

Basically, NextPVR works on two different machines, however there is a delay problem.  The main menu of the UI comes up very quickly.  However, when I try to access other menu items, like "TV guide", or "Recordings", or "What's New", there are lengthy (~ 20 second) delays before the program responds.  As far as I can tell, all functionality is working OK, other than the delays.  I have the Schedules Direct service, and my EPG is properly updated in the evenings.  When I open the TV guide, although some programming items are subject to the same kind of delay previously mentioned, pop-ups come up eventually.

See the attached log below, at or around line 32.  You will see it takes around 20 seconds to bring up the "TV Guide" menu.  Other menu access is similarly delayed.  I see delays when I bring up the UI, and try to load "Recordings", and after successfully bringing up the guide, some random programs produce a 20 second delay before bringing up a pop-up after a program is selected.   The second time those menus are accessed, sometimes they are *not* delayed. 

I have Windows 11 machines.  I have a NAS drive; program recordings are saved to the NAS.  I tried changing the recording locations to the local C: drive (thinking that the NAS access somehow was the issue), and that made no difference.  Still lengthy delays.  Also, when in the web interface settings app, the directory structure after entering the IP address of the NAS pops up instantly.  (I put the NAS address in, and I get a dialog box with the various alternative directories on the NAS.)

It seems like there is something is timing out somewhere to a default or something.  I am unable to figure this out.  I am hoping for some help!  Let me know if you have ideas on how to fix this issue (that occurs on both my machines on the same local network). In the log file, the delay seems to happen after the message "calculated resource directory:" (This directory is stored on drive C:, a solid state drive, not my NAS).  See line 33.

I have only 85 channels in my EPG, and it's updated using Schedules Direct.  I have Hauppauge tv receivers in both machines.

Any ideas what may be causing the delays??

Many thanks for any help!!

Hardware (for one of the machines, the other is similar):

Intel® Core™ i9-14900KF (3.20 GHz)
64.0 GB (63.8 GB usable)
Windows 11 pro
One solid state drive, two hard disks
Synology NAS 1522

I suspect it's slow access to your NAS causing issues, when trying to validate that recordings exist etc.

You could try setting the following in config.xml to see if it helps:
<CheckForRenamedRecordings>false</CheckForRenamedRecordings>
<AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>false</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>

Oh my gosh, you are a rock star! That worked!!

First, you made my day.

How shall I avoid issues because these checks are not done? Anything to worry about?

Wow, I am psyched. Thank you.

With the change you suggested to Config.xml, both machine now running wonderfully. So appreciate. Made donation.. wish could be more.

Great.

It's generally ok to leave those false, as long as you're not manually deleting recordings from outside of NextPVR. If do you do this, with those settings off, it'll continue to show those recordings because it'll think they're still there.
