What options can i change to speed up menus, as when media is playing, the scrolling down on menus slows right down (its ok to move one or 2 down, but when the menu needs to move RIGHT down, it chugs :( )

i have changed all the obvious in general on the setup exe

    Inside MP, Settings -> Screen Calibration -> Scroll Speed

    Turn up "Max FPS".

    Edit: You do also have VMR9 Renderless enabled in movies/tv/dvd dont you?

    I think there is an missunderstanding :D

    By changing the Settings of "scroll speed" you only can adjust the settings for the epg afaik.

    I think Jellybeard means that, when you are scrolling down in the "movie" menu (and you have more than one page in it) the scrolling down has an huge delay when you come to the next page. Within a page page it is very good, no delay. Only when you are at the end of an page and you jump to next movie it slows down a lot.

    I have the same problem. Dont know what to do. :cry:

    No, Callifo is right. The lower you set the scroll speed in the settings menu, the slower the display is refreshed and thus the slower menu scrolling will be.

    Try setting it to around 10fps and see how slow menu's will scroll.. ;) BTW, this settings menu also displays the current fps. So, if you increase the fps above your system's capability, you'll notice the current fps won't be as high as you've specified.

    AFAIK this has nothing to do with EPG.

    BTW, I experience the same problem only when I play music. If I check the fps by pressing the "!", I see it doesn't reach the fps I've specified in settings at all. However, if I stop playing music, everything is fine again. I don't have this problem with Movies, DVD's and TV.

    BTW I'm on 1366x768 resolution, and fullscreen visualization runs at a very low fps, too. That's why I disabled it. But I still have a feeling it's somehow related to this.

    Kind regards,
    Michel

    I am not sure if I understand you right, scoop.

    For testing I have set the max. FPS to 10 (this really was slow) and then to 100 (fast as usual).
    When I set the scroll vertical and horizontal this only effects the epg (the description of films).

    But my problem is still there.
    Lets say you have 50 films in your "movie" menu. If you sort them in "list" then you have about 5 pages (11 movies per page). Within ONE page scrolling is fine. But at the end of one page (when you jump at the buttom to the next movie scrolling isnt smooth anymore.
    What can I do?

    right...

    set max fps to 100, but still, when stuff is playing (tried with music) it slows down to 6fps :eek:

    so i guess a lower res or something ???
    maybe tweak my driver settings for my gfx

    will see what i can do

    and yes, i do have renderless ;)

    similar

    On my setup, If I'm playing a "my pictures" slideshow, I get the full 60fps, but if I'm streaming a radio broadcast for example, then the slideshow runs at around 15fps (so the photos stay on the screen for 4 times as long).

    I know this is an old thread, but the problem is not solved, yet. :)

    I have 2 folders (on 2 harddisks). Each with a lot of movies. Ever movie has its own picture (e.g. Matrix1.avi - Matrix1.jpg).
    So, if I open a folder I see all my movies with the belonging pictures.

    It is very frustating that there is always a huge delay, if I try to open the next page in my movie list (it doesnt feel smooth :wink: )
    With MCE there wasnt such a problem (but thats the only thing I miss :lol: )

    Could it be, that this has something to do with the cache for the pictures? I dont know what I can do to speed up changing to the next page.
