[QUOTE="Imokles, post: 502218, member: 91173"] The one thing that has always concerned me about X-Factor was the fact that it was quite slow when re-entering Basichome. On my ION330-based HTPC it took about 3 to 5 seconds to load basichome when jumping from another section of Mediaportal. During this time the application was completely unresponsive. Playing around with the basichome.xml I found that the section that ate up those seconds was the multiimage functionality. I had 12 different backgrounds, however, I did not really use multiimage - I only had a single picture in each of the "Animiation" subdirectories. So I decided to replace the multiimages by standard images. Jumps to basichome are now instant, and the whole menu feels a lot more responsive to me. What I basically did was the following. Assume that for the "news" background, you have a file "default.jpg" in "Animations" you want to show instead of the whole folder content. You would then replace the section with Repeat that for some or all of the multiimages and note that the "Weather" functionality is handled differently, so leave that section alone. [/QUOTE]
