[SOLVED] kodi rpi2 slow library browse and menus

Postby motorxx » Thu Nov 05, 2015 2:03 pm

Hello,

I have moved from openelec to arch arm with kodi. I plan to have other services in runtime apart from kodi.

I've completed a new Arch install. and installed kodi-rbp.
Installed omxplayer-git, xorg-xrefresh and xorg-xset to get hardware acceleration working.
My shares are in nfs and no problems so far.
gpu_mem = 256

When browsing my movies library (+-/ 100 movies), browsing the movies is ok, but changing movies images from one to another delays.

I have also found sometimes delays while moving thru the kodi menú.

My microsd card is a Kingston 64gb class 10 bought in a secure retailer.

Any ideas how should I solve this?

The kodi menus make use of 2d, for which the GPU on the Pi family do not have acceleration, currently.

It turned out that the responsible was the kingston micro sd.
I learned that a class 10 card can have indeed low speed.

I returned the sdcard and bought a new one. Installed Arch and kodi again. Now it runs perfectly and smooth.

Thanks for your reply.
