I have made sure to point the movie library at the lowest possible folder (called "DVDs" on my network and accessed via AFP) but it still causes Remote Buddy to hang for between 10 and 30 seconds every time the Movie Library is selected. It is clearly accessing the network but very slowly -- about 30KB/s where file transfers from the network run at about 10MB/s.

Are you using a Finder search along the lines of Kind=Folder and Name=VIDEO_TS? I tried that and it's not that speedy either but a bit faster than the Remote Buddy search. It looks like it might be a problem with the way the Finder does searches of networked drives.

Would it be possible maybe to cache the results of the first search and use those results for every time the Movie Library is selected after that? With a menu option to manually refresh the Movie Library if you've added something -- which would do the search again?

(Or could this be a Preferences option?)

Obviously don't worry about it if it's just me, but if other people are having similar problems with network storage it might be a way to speed things up.
