Hi Guys
I have the TV automatically starting and going to fullscreen TV when my HTPC is turned on to cause less stress for the miss's when I'm not here and I've noticed that when I return to tvseries while the live tv preview is playing that when scrolling through all my tv shows the scrolling seems to stop and start a little rather than being quite smooth. It seems so much better when the tv preview is not running.
I figured this was just due to the amount of work that needs to happen from the machine and thought to investigate it further by checking the FPS. I've been using FRAG and it seems that when tv is playing as per normal it pretty much stays constant at 25 FPS until I click on something (eg Menu to return to Home Screen) at which point the FPS seems to drop down to about 5 then back up again. Then still while the tv preview is going once I'm in the tvseries and hold the down arrow to scroll through the shows again the FPS are dropping to around the 10 FPS mark and causing the stop start side of things. Now I have fanart enabled as well so again I understand that this is even more work as well but can anything be done about this with my existing hard config or would a dedicated graphics card help. Just looking for ideas.
On a side note it would be great to be able to select a letter and jump straight to shows starting with that letter within tvseries. Can this be done. I have a feeling I read something about it being supported in movingpictures but nothing about tvseries.
Again ... Thanks
