Hello!

When I'm watching TV and press Enter (open channel list), TV will freeze for several seconds before list is opened.

OK, i understand that list needs some time to load, but why it have to freeze the TV? Can't you make some loading indicator so you can watch TV while channel list is loading?

    Unfortunately fixing that would require quite big changes in TV client and server. Currently the communication is synchronous.

    Wait a minute, problem is transfer between TV Server and client? Even if the transfer is synchronous, it should not take so long to transfer the channel list. After all it's only just a bunch of text and several numbers for time stamps.

    Although it is not as simple as you claim, if you in the mean time read my previous post you can see we agree with you :)

    Wow, looks like I'm a bit behind version. I'm still running 1.1. I will install it and check it out.

    EDIT: I'm definitely doing something wrong here. I timed it: 11 seconds from pressing enter key to displaying list of the channels.I have 146 channels and about half of them don't have EPG. These are only lines in log that occur at the time:

    2011-01-06 21:05:17.489257 [Info.][(29)]: PlaneScene: video WxH : 704x576
    2011-01-06 21:05:17.494140 [Info.][(29)]: PlaneScene: screen WxH : 203x123

    Any ideas?

    What did you try? I guess you used 1.1.2 but i said it is going to be released in 1.2

    That is not yet released, so you would have to compile it yourself :)
