[QUOTE="malachii, post: 289098, member: 75757"] I resolved my slowness issue. In a painfull round-about way. Changing from shares view was never really an option for the way my data was laid out. The majority of my media was laid out in the root of the share, with another 15 or so subfolders with my "seasons" of tv eposides. Like so: share\seinfeld\season1\episodes 1 through whatever .avi's 24\season2\episodes 1 through whatever.avi's folder movie.avi movie.avi movie.avi movie.avi 500 or so titles Switching from shares view would be fast, but it would congregate the "tv episode" data into the main mix. Unacceptable. Specially with 100's of tv show episodes, that in shares view, is organized by subfolders. I took the time to put each "movie" into a subfolder of its own with the folder name being the movie name and the folder.jpg imdb box art being shown for each folder. I found some decent script to do this for me but they ended up being more of a pain in the ass than they were worth with spaces in names, and duplicates, etc. Now: Share\moviefolder\movie.avi \moviefolder\movie.avi \moviefolder\movie.avi \seinfeld\season1\episodes etc Result? From 30 seconds EACH listing down to 2 seconds. yay! Starting a title? Instantly now. Sucking down imdb info for a single title? Damn near instant. Even the gui is more responsive and less sluggish. This is maybe not an option for others depending on the data layout, but it sure works for me. [/QUOTE]
