[QUOTE="fforde, post: 374199, member: 52082"] Responsiveness of the GUI should not be affected regardless of how long the artwork takes to load. I am speculating but I am guessing the multimage control loads artwork in the rendering thread. This was a problem with Moving Pictures backdrop loading until we starting loading backdrops asynchronously. It is possible using BMPs will improve load time, but this is addressing the symptom not the problem. The correct solution is to update the multiimage logic to load artwork asynchronously. We have some generic logic in Moving Pictures (that is also used by MPTVSeries) that might be able to be pulled into MediaPortal itself. If one of the MediaPortal devs are interested, contact me and I can point you in the right direction... [/QUOTE]
