TITAN LIVE *1.5.XX Now Available for 2.01.86*

Ok, i’m gonna repeat myself…

When “Get Content Info” for Movies & TV Shows it downloads and creates a *.metathumb which are in fact *.jpgs (rename the extension to see)

Movies metathumbs are “Small” eg. 154(w) x 231(h) around 10kb

TV Shows metathumbs on the other hand, are “Huge” eg. 680(w) x 1000(h) around a whopping 500kb ! …

See Picture Below for a comparison

which causes massive slowdown to point where it’s pretty much un-usable.

Solution: batchrename TV Show metathumbs to *.jpg and batch resize them

(personally, i use 300x450 under 70kb which is a compromise between picture quality and speed. other people use 200x300 which is fine as well )

For batch renaming and image resizing, i recommend these 2  *Free* easy to use softwares.

 This is the resolution (size) is for your TV shows compared to movies… and is the cause of your slowdown.

P.S. I also noticed you (or someone) modified the Titan Live theme Version 1.5.35

How can i tell ? 1st picture from your video… actors and plot text is aligned to the “Right”

2nd picture from my video … actors and plot text is aligned to the “Left” *which is how the un-modified theme is supposed to look)
