Speed up the primo GUI?   

Speed up the primo GUI?

Postby freebo86 » Tue Jun 23, 2015 12:57 am

Anyway to speed up the GUI performance of the Primo? Running on a Chinese DVD Player, with 600mhz cpu, 128ram I find the GUI is slow to respond to screen touches.

Would a different memory card help? I removed most content off the SDcard so its very basic. Anything else I can do?

I think Primo is not the culprit.
Most users (like me) have a processor that is considerably slower and very few have issues with Primo speed, even those with processors that are half as fast. Memory issues are more common, but that is clearly not the problem here.
Did you at least try to perform a screen calibration?

Calibrate the screen in the actual stereo or within primo somewhere?

This is no software, but a hardware issue. The screen is off center.
Read the devices manual. It will be in the menu, in hardware settings somewhere.

You can try this in sys.txt:

[debug]
cache=2048
skip_eula=1
disable_outlookpoi=1
show_performance=0
reserve_memory=1500000
max_memory=419430400

Makes it so the app reserves 1.5MB of RAM when you first run it and lets it use up to 419MB of RAM which is probably not ideal when you only have 128MB ram....

LOL.. Yah I tried it, didn't seem to make much of a difference.

Should I be using different settings?

The device has a 600Mhz processor and 128 MB RAM, I don't see a problem here.
Meaning : it's not a processor issue and not memory issue :033:

That won't be necessary.
A screen calibration does not center the screen (image) but the touchscreen. This won't show on any image
Perform a screen calibration as told before. Repeat when needed.
