Disabling metadata on library (use text only)

HI guys,
Would it be possible to have the option to disable metadata on the library to reduce the disk and network i/o associated with client browsing.

I am running my plex server on a rasberry pi x64 and the library has grown such that scrolling the library on the mobile client seems to bottleneck the drive where the metadata is stored. I used linux symlink to reference a dedicated drive for it.

as an admin feature, this would be welcomed for lower powered devices and slower networks.

Just to clarify… you’re asking for a text-only display mode next to the existing ones (Grid View, Detail View and Table View)?

Library display mode selection

hi tom,
this solution seems to have helped allot.
thank you

Glad this helped… although I’m not really sure what part :thinking:

I suppose there’s no artwork in table view?
