En If it's Downloaded then the second time you play the song then it must work fast and not at 2 min ?

You have in the settings of 8 pictures, if not found 8, then every time he tries to find more. Reduce to 3, check.

Current version ...

 

[dangerzone]

I used the dll from the link you send me some posts above...
Reduce max 6 pics to max 3, deleted fanart en fh database.
It,s now in mepo scraping in the background.

 

[dangerzone]

Scraping Done. ... still the same problem...
I give up....

 

[ajs]

Scraping Done. ... still the same problem...

For all music artists?

 

[dangerzone]

Yes. It takes 2 min or so for the first Fanart to show, when I stop and go to main music folder it takes 2 min for the other Fanart starts

 

[ajs]

I'll think about debugging information in the log files to understand what the problem is.

It seems to me that the problem is in the music tags.

For example, in this case, FH gets from MP:

Artists:

- Whitney Houston

- Soundtrack

Album:

- Whitney

- bodyguard

- Love,Whitney

- Whitney Houston

- One Wish: The Holiday Album

- My Love Is Your Love

- Just Whitney...

- I'm Your Baby Tonight

- The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album



And for each pair of values, FH will try to find pictures. ie:

Artist: Whitney Houston Albums: Whitney, bodyguard, Love,Whitney, Whitney Houston, One Wish: The Holiday Album, My Love Is Your Love, Just Whitney..., I'm Your Baby Tonight, The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album ~= 10 * 3 ~= 30 Pictures

Artist: Soundtrack Albums: Whitney, bodyguard, Love,Whitney, Whitney Houston, One Wish: The Holiday Album, My Love Is Your Love, Just Whitney..., I'm Your Baby Tonight, The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album ~= 10 * 3 ~= 30 Pictures

ie ~60 pictures for One track This is not counting other types of pictures, it's long.



But when I play, I do not see any special delays:

Works like a charm



PS: Try to turn off debugging in the media portals at all, set the error level, and check if something has changed or not. Output of a large amount of information in the log file, greatly slows down the internal processes in the media portal. And the FanartHandler plugin works with a very low priority.
