EPG Slow to display content

[attewell]

Hi have just brought AX HD61, previously having Mutant HD51

When pressing the EPG button, it takes 1 to 1.5 seconds to display the contents of EPG, although the EPG frame shows immediately.

I have a video https://youtu.be/IBMosOx2BMo

Is this a question?

My AX61 shows the epg on satellite bouquets instantly.

My AX61 shows the epg on satellite bouquets instantly.

But is the epg data and picons stored on the same devices and operated in the same way. For instance, if either is stored on the hard disk and you have configured the disk to go to sleep, say after 10 minutes, then maybe it will first have to spin up. Perhaps try storing picons and epg on a USB stick and see if that speeds up the response.

EpgCache is stored in the RAM. EPG.DAT just is to bridge reboots. So you are probably right about picons. But that should just happen once.

Sorry yes, is this a bug? as my mutant displayed immediately.
Also my picons are on internal flash

I checked without picon.. also a full reset.. same issue
here is video without picon https://youtu.be/KOxb41XD9ak

If someone could make a image with some debug lines in code, say from point of pressing EPG button, Render of frame, to render of content, I can try and give you the output?
I would try myself, I have a fork, but unsure where/how to add debug lines.. let alone do a image build

[twol]

I have a hd61 will try when I am back at home (friday ish
what skin are you using?
whose picons?

[bbbuk]

I believe skin OP uses is openvix-vixbmc-1080-confluence. If so, I use this too.

My box is Vu+ Duo4K SE, running OpenViX 6.2.010. EPG is instant. EPG/Picons stored on internal HDD. Picons are sourced from Github Picons and specifically light-on-transparent.

I do have a Vu+ Solo2 I could try this on if need be.

I havent, as yet, upgraded to 6.2.11

[attewell]

I am using openvix-vixbmc-1080-confluence, the picons are ones I have created myself for here in NZ.
I did try other skins, even default skin, but the issue persisted

My mutant HD51 and my AX61 display the EPG (with picons) instantly. I think your issue is skin related. Try with another skin to see if the issue improves. Picons should be stored in flash (as you have) or on USB disk or SSD.


EDIT - I see my post crossed with yours and that you have tried the default skins. Maybe post a complete debug log including boot up?

[Willo3092]

It must be skin related. I've just tried openvix-vixbmc-1080-confluence on my AX61 with picons and epg stored on an ssd and I am getting the delay now.
Doesn't happen with my usual skin.

[Willo3092]

I've just been experimenting and changing the view mode from 'graphics' to 'text' sorts it and the epg shows immediately.

That would explain why my epg was showing immediately in the first place because I use text view anyway.
