MyVideo slow

[tal56]

I've just installed the MyVideo plugin as the "My" series by Reven seems to have a lot more features, however I have a few folders with 500+ kareoke video's and when I view these folders or play a video from inside one, the playback takes a long time to start, like 10-20 seconds.

Is this because of the database lookup instead of using actual filenames? Can I get it to use the filename instead, kinda like how MyMusic does? Because that seems faster.

I've already turned off all the features that I think are slowing it down, but it's still slow. Any thoughts on how I can speed this up?

My system speed is not fantastic but this should not be a problem as it plays immediately in the video library.

My system,

AMD 2500
512 RAM
Nvdia 5500 video
400+ Hard drive space.

yeah im aware of this problem, ive fixed it in the version on my pc, but its a little buggy at the moment, in the next release this problem will go away.

if you're interested the problem is that when ever you enter a folder it loads the details for every single video file in that directory (so 500+ videos means it has to load 500+ files, loading file includes the images and db lookups). in the next version it only loads them as needed (ie when you first draw them to the screen).

That's perfect Reven, thanks for the update and great plugins.
