StreamedMP quite slow on my htpc when using moving pictures (1 Viewer)

[olli14]

Hi,
I love the StreamedMP skin. It looks very good and it supports all the plugins I'm using. But it's very slow on my htpc system. When I'm in moving pictures and using the filmstrip view I have to wait more than one or two seconds till the backdrop pictures and the film details are updated. I have an Intel Atom Dual Core (overclocked to 2 GHz) and it's a single seat installation.
What's the reason for this?

I think this is by design? (fading)

If i remember correctly you can change the delay of presenting fanart. Either the advanced settings of by editing a file.

Yes.
If you don't want any fading you could go to movingpictures.xml and try to delete the lines marked in red. (Make a backup of movingpictures.xml first in case anything goes wrong)
