I’m about to order a Vero V, but the one thing that is holding me back is the responsiveness of the UI when scrolling through movie cover art.
I am currently using a Nvidia Shield Pro, exclusively just for kodi and am very pleased with the speed that the cover art loads when quickly scrolling through movies. I have my movie library set up to Movie Wall view (with over 3000 movies). I was hoping to get some experiences of how others find scrolling through the cover art? And if anyone would be willing to even record the responsiveness of their system so that I can see?
Which skin are you using? Sometimes UI response time can be dependent on the skin. With the Estuary skin (which is the vanilla Kodi default), I find the UI on the Vero V very responsive. But if you have a skin that has loaded a dozen addons running in the background that need to provide data every time you change the movie selected, it might be slower than you’d like.
Just received my Vero V today after years of use of an Vero 4K. The difference in UI speed is really big. This little box (Vero V) is blazing fast in all the menus
I was kind of disappointed with the Vero V speed using Fentastic and Nimbus skins with a few widgets, pretty sluggish compared to my 10 year old htpc. Estuary itself flies without any problems. Now I’m using Quartz skin from Kodi repo and I’m really satisfied with it. No widgets here but pretty nice poster displays of content through the use of shortcuts and I like the speed and smoothness of it.
Another light skin option is the Estuary skin that ships as the standard skin for stock Kodi. If you want Estuary but also want some ability to customize the order of things on the main menu, I have a mod that does that (since we’re recommending our own stuff).
That mod is still very light weight (mostly because it has no external dependencies and is 95% stock Estuary).
