Unable to find....SpecialElement[@name="MenuType"]

[capone]

What is it looking for here? Recent starts have been very slow, and it looks like the lag is between these two steps. It every re-open of GB, it has load times of 30-60sec bwteen the two.

What plugin uses/calls this? I've disabled a bunch, and it still shows up. It calls it 4x, too:

"ActorInfoMoviesBackground" ==> my videos

"MenuType" ==> something sub used a couple releases ago, but now even the default 'blue'-skin is missing it. it should not cause any problems (or be time consuming).

I swirtched to Debug....I think I foudn it:

If I take out the OnScreenKeyboard dir, it loads in 2sec...why is slowing things up? What uses it in My Videos? Can I just leave it out?

For laughs I did a clean install, and only installed the newest my videos plugin, and didn't add or configure anything else:

10/24/2005 10:41:34 PM.390 ERROR [2] Unable to find node: /settings/CompositeImages/CompositeImage[@name="ActorInfoMoviesBackground"]/DrawImage[@filename="@Poster"]
10/24/2005 10:42:20 PM.718 VERBOSE [2] MyVideosEvent created

Looks like it's the event after all...it just seems to be incompatible w/ my system. Not that it doesn't work, but it takes forever to start, so long that it can end up w/o focus. I have a large DB (16Mb), so maybe it's doing stuff there.

Was just interested to track it down. Since no one else is having a problem, it a non-bug.

I have the same error, with the Video Archive plugin installed.
Takes much longer to load gbpvr now

Just out of currisoisty, so maybe I can help myself, what does MyVideosEvent do? Is there something about it I can optimize or improve?

[reven]

i really didnt want to responsed to this thread, who gives a f**k how long gbpvr takes to load (5 seconds or 10 seconds, who cares????)

myvideosevent just watches for when videos are started and when they are it just updates the database and sets that video as "seen".

Sry...this wasn't to hassle or razz you. I was just interested. It was just that it jumped to 25-45 sec to load suddlenly, and would often load w/o focus, so I had to start manually adjusting after startup. Like I said, I wasn't asking for anyone to do anything. I knew I was solo on this one, and just wanted to see what could be done.

After playing, I have it back to a normal load. What I found poking around the config file was some of the plugins would leave stray open/closing tags sometimes (eg, 2-3 "<MyMusicPlugin/>" after config data, and w/o closings), and I wonder if that was part of it. I cleaned up all the strays, and got rid of options that were left over from updates, and it works fine now. I think they may have gotten there from turning them on/off and removing settings while testing.

[reven]

nah its no problem, i just think its kind of silly

25-45 sec to load suddlenly

ok that is ages, you're probably just loading to many plugins or slow machine. to speed my vids up, reduce the number of items in the virtual root dir (if there is only one dir listed), turn off paused videos, turn off actors (you probably dont use it), errrrr i think thats all you can do.

yeah just ignore these, you can delete them if you want, just something i missed in the beta version (assuming you're using the beta version).

I hadn't added any recently, nor added a whole lot of vids, which is why I thought it was weird. I also dumped out the actors data when I cleaned up the config file, so that may have helped, too. I'm probably guilty of using My Vids too much, at worst.

I keep my vids in tidy subdirs, but I have a lot, and that actor data builds up quick. The cast does, too, and I have a lot for stuff that is long gone (cleaned it out, too...about 1Mb of db data). Is there a way to turn of actors, ect, in ver 3? All I could see is where to set to get those w/ complete info (which I use as a limiter).
