[tiefling]

Is it just me or is this a pretty critical 'known issue' to let out for a firmware release for anyone to use NMJ...

- Any new 'excludes' are ignored on a refresh - you have to do a
complete rebuild for .no_all.nmj etc. to actually work

Can anyone confirm yet whether NMJ has sped up any?

[norek]

today we have 11.03.2011

here, for me NMJ has sped up .
the reaction time is a little bit quicker. I have only 100 videos (mkvs only..) on my HDD...

[werner]

it was the same before we just added it to the known issues, and yes the performance is better now, anyway biggest changes will be with NMJ V2
