Scrolling titles faster makes it crash (1 Viewer)

[makafre]

Hi guys, I really like this plugin and it's a great piece of work.

I use W7 + 1.1.0 and your release from june.
I have about 1000 titles in 4 directories (1 holds about 700).

The only problem that I have is that when I scroll down the titles
too fast (not too fast tough!) using the remote, the interface (graphics) will
kind of crash; the display becomes fuzzy but the software continues to respond
as I can still scroll the titles but they are being showed oversized
with a fuzzy background. There is no readable text at that point.

Generally the interface is fast and I think the problem comes
from the loading of the background picture. As we scroll faster, it
doesn't always refresh, skipping titles, until we scroll slower and there
it updates again. I guess this behavior is all right but I think it does not
really like the faster scrolling for some reasons.

I am note sure what other details I can provide you, if you need
me to perform a specific test I'll be glad to help.

Thanks !

This sounds like a MediaPortal bug to me makafre. If you want you can open up a bug report on the Issue Tracker with debug log files attached though and we will see if we can reproduce. It's just here on the forums it is nearly impossible to keep track of bug reports long term, something always gets lost and / or forgotten.

I wonder if there is a way to add a page down function to the remote. This may help scrolling huge amounts faster and not cause this issue?

There already is. I've remapped the Channel +/- button on my ATi Remote Wonder to do just that, as they don't serve any purpose when I'm using MP-TVSeries or MovingPictures.

Unfortunatly my wife is hogging HTPC, so I can only open the ATIX10.xml custom map file, and it seems I added 6 seperate conditions for the Channel +/- button, as MediaPortal allows you awesome control and you can reuse a button for other stuff depending on conditions. I'll refrain from pasting those, because they will most likely add to your confusion, but just read the wiki/manual then on how to do it.

You can even target the MovingPictures ID (which = 96742) specifically (this does require manual editing the XML file until MediaPortal gets updated), so that you can re-assign different functions to all your buttons when you are using MovingPictures.

This thread for example explains how you can launch MovingPictures plugin directly from a button on your remote: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ctures-via-mce-remote-my-videos-button-56008/
