Hello Everyone,
I'm quite new to Kodi and streaming but I hope I'll learn more in the near future.
I joined this forum hopping someone can help me figure out an issue I have encountered recently.
I am using Kodi 17.6 on Android and noticed that all video addons I install are really slow while browsing thorugh categories. For example, if I install Ex**us and I enter Tv Shows section and after that Most Popular it starts loading for about 120 seconds or even more. I started digging a bit and actually found out that the reason for this is the Ex**us plugin querying for fanart on the fanart.tv service and all requests fail with 401 error code.
I told myself I do not need fanart and browsing fast is more important to me so I tried to disable fanart option in the plugin settings. However this did not turn out to work as the plugin continued to query for the fanart for each item in the category and all requests ended up failing with 401 error code. The entire process takes a lot of time and you end up waiting 2 minutes just to enter a section of the plugin.
I than started experimenting with fanart.tv api's , I created a personal api after that I created a project api .. nothing worked.
This happens with all video addons that have fanart.tv option integrated and to be honest I haven't found any that doesn't have it.
Has anyone any ideea why this is happening and what can be done to stop the plugins to query for farnart ?
Thanks
