There seems to be some less than ideal caching of UI or metadata elements going on on the library screen. When opening a movie detail, those elements are accessed, leading up to a 10s delay before the detail is actually presented.

To reproduce:

  1. Open a decently sized movie library
  2. Open the very first movie detail
    Expected: Detail opens immediately
    Actual: Detail opens immediately
  3. Go back and scroll through the library, after some time, scroll back to the top
  4. Open the first movie’s detail again
    Expected: Detail opens immediately
    Actual: Up to 10s absolutely nothing happens depending on how much you scrolled, then the detail is opened
  5. Go back to library. Pull down to refresh
  6. Open detail again, now it works as expected.

So, it seems that refreshing the library also clears unwanted data that is accumulated. Killing the app (or start playing the movie) has the same effect, so it must be something in memory.

The best thing would be to implement it correctly. The second best thing would be to not access it (for probably no reason) when the detail is opened. Opening the same detail via recommendations, e.g. recently played, has no lag. So the issue is not the detail screen but the library screen implementation.
