Speeding up album art display for SageTV extenders
On my SageTV HD-100, it was taking 3-5 seconds to scroll through each page of videos or music. Turns out there are three things required to fix this:
- Turn on hardware caching in sage.properties (enable_hardware_scaling_cache=true)
- Reduce the User Input Timeout (Settings | Customize | Inactivity Timeout and OSD AutoHide | Configure)
- Enable album art caching (SageMC | Enhancements | Cache Album Art)
Now it’s smooth as silk.
This is awesome… I’ve struggled with this same thing ever since I switched to Sage. That you for putting all of this together and posting it.
