xbmc, slow menus (bad performance).

zchira · 2009-12-21 19:08:27

Few weeks ago I upgraded xbmc (to 9.11).
Since than it is not anymore usable.
The mouse cursor is very slow and the whole application is unresponsive.

I have nVidia5700fx and official drivers (from arch repo).
Some other applications are running well (counter-strike with wine).

(sorry for bad English)

Are you using PM3HD skin? Change it to Confluence or to the old standard skin.

It's a know bug, but not solved.

I have it with an ATI 9250se gpu. Some things are slow has hell!

I am using PM3 skin (I always did).
I tried Confluence, but there is no difference.
Menus are still unresponsive and very slow.

This could be related to the fact that XBMC havn't updated to use libjpeg7 yet, check the main XBMC thread I think there are ways to downgrade outlined in there.
