WOW, yeah thats not right, i have lower specs than you, (i5 3570k, 16GB DD3, GTX 1060 6GB) and i have never seen Bigbox anywhere near that bad. I would have to agree with what other people have said in here that there i s program/AV on your system interfering there some how. Have you tried disabling AV software while running Bigbox? does it behave the same if you do? If its still like that with AV off it could be another program interfering but narrowing that down could prove difficult. Your specs are very very good, so it has to be something specific to your system. EDIT: Also i have around 15,000 games in my setup, with perfect performance, so the fact that you get this performance with only 40 games is very strange.

One thing you can try is to run BB under Windows Safe Mode. That way you can check if the AV or any other app/tool/service might be conflicting with it.

Rjay Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Tested with the priority set as high for Big Box and was smooth, I assume that the Big Box plugin for Kodi (how I launch Big Box as it's my main media machine in the lounge) is not written by yourself @Jason Carr and is a community add in? Just wanted to check if there was a way to get the launch Big Box with a priority from there. Obviously I could do a couple of work around solutions it has an option to run a script so possibly I can just write something to change the priority of Big Box once it's launched or write a watcher to change the priority to high when it sees the BigBox exe running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 @Mile Panic Hmm, it seems to be happening in the CoverFlow views (I doubt the wheels would slow down if CoverFlow wasn't being used). One thing that's curious is that you don't have any images in CoverFlow. I wonder if we have a performance degradation problem if you use CoverFlow with no images. Since it doesn't really make any sense to use CoverFlow without any images, I wouldn't be surprised if that's just something we've never run into before. So I guess we have two things to test for: Does the performance degradation happen in the wheel views if you never use the CoverFlow views? If you populate images for those games, does the issue still exist in CoverFlow? Hopefully that will help us to narrow it down. Thanks @Mile Panic.

I'm not exactly sure of a way to do it with a priority from that plugin. You're saying prioritizing Big Box to high made a significant difference for you?

I'm using Xpadder now, which has eliminated my problems. It's not the prettiest solution, and it at least confirms that the problem doesn't lie in my controller or receiver, but it'll do for now. Thanks @Jason Carr for investigating! I'd still love to resolve this if we can, but I understand. Is anyone else from this thread still having controller performance issues with the 8.8 release?

Yeah I always used vertical wheel view so I never noticed before. Yesterday I was like I'm bored with this look lets try different wheels, and that's how I noticed. Also how to populate images in cover flow? because images are shown in other views but not in this one, not sure why. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You probably don't have any images for the selected image type for those games. Go into keyboard bindings in the options and make sure you have a key or a button mapped to "Switch Image Type". Then you can press that key or button to switch between the image types to see what you might have images for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the point of the shortcut key; the view can use any of the image groups available in LaunchBox. You press the key to switch between them.

I'm guessing you just don't have any images for those games, or your image priority settings are messed up, or something of that nature. Open up LaunchBox if you can and check what images you have for those games, and then check your image priority settings for the various image groups.

I have box front and box back for those games set in launchbox, because if in different views i can see them, just those three wheels not showing it, those 3 vertical wheel views.

It could be the theme itself isn't optimized, I remember I didn't see images in some view(s) with Futurestate. Have you tried with the default theme as well?

I barely play games lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying prioritizing Big Box to high made a significant difference for you? ok thats what I thought, I will do some extra testing with the priority change With the latest Beta 8 it was pretty damn smooth overall for myself, definitely far less glitchy and jumping between 1 to 5 games in the list that would occasionally happen in previous versions. The only lag I seem to see now is if it gets to a game title it might take an extra up or down press on the controller to get it to move to the next item but that is very rare If I find that the priority change does eliminate all problems then I can try to script something myself or request a mod from the Kodi Plugin Dev thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The symptoms most were seeing is as you mentioned sometimes multiple presses of the up and down arrow keys within menus and also occasionally 1 longer press of the down key jumping a heap of menu items at once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
