[Bug 351510] Re: me-tv unusually slow, often freezes

 

I am still using the version 0.8.6 and after some experimenting it works
well.

The problem with freezing for a long time happened after installation at
first start when I imported a config file containing 25 channels and the
database was being filled with the EPG data. Then the EPG and Sqlite
caused the me-tv being irresponsive and grayed. After a minute or so
about I killed me-tv. Then I had to purge the ~/.me-tv/ folder etc.

As Michael Lamothe was indicating he could not reproduce this behaviour
and he is the developer I decided to install libsqlite3-dev
(development) package and started the me-tv again. This time I let it be
grayed for a few minutes. Then I minimized and unminimize it. After that
the me-tv gui returned to colour mode and since then I can use it. It is
hard to say what helped: the development package or subsequent long
waiting for the initial database filling ...

When I started the me-tv first time today it grayed for about 10 seconds
(updating the database I guess) and since then it works without a
problem.

Binary package hint: me-tv

Hi,
on Ubuntu 9.04 Beta (Jaunty) me-tv is very slow (compared to previous versions),  the gui often freezes so i have to kill it. If i'm using xine_ui directly i don't have such problems, but channel locking is also slow.
