Fast data for user nodes - Testers needed! Beta 0.9.742

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!

has the smaller server data been a help? (not numbers-wise but in terms of perfection of running on slower systems).

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 - 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...

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...

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

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?

A new version is up 0.9.746 which contains a bug fix when using the fast processing mode.

It just delegates everything to the MainModule getColllections method and populates them in a similar way to what is done in the skin method.

I will test, but my library is not large : 200movies 4500episodes.  :)

Is it normal that I do not see posters anymore? The backdrops appear really quickly, but my posters are empty.

I keep getting the nullreference exception error....I've posted about it in the beta thread...It seems to prevent loading info from my server :( It doesn't seem restricted to profile switch anymore...but I'll restart XBMC to find out. It seems to be a collection error, My collection posters are not loading.

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.

@@xnappo - did you include my changes (for example DownloadUtils) in this version? It looks like some of the errors I fixed are back in.

 

EDIT - Actually looking at github they do not seem to have been uploaded...having some github problems at the moment..I'll resynch the changes

Lots of bugs in 0.9.747 with fast data.  Fixed in 0.9.748.  Fast data now used for Series and BoxSets.

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

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 :)
