1000+ videos best practice
i'm a newbie brightscript dev with a question about displaying a high volume of videos. The client has 1000+ videos and maybe 10 categories. They want to use the grid screen to display them all by cat...

thanks for your responses! @RokuChris, i think we're going to try your approach and have one initial xml feed with the categories populate the rows of a gridscreen. Then have each category kick off an async request for the xml feed containing the items of that row.
Hi oliver -
I'm working on a large grid and have it loading 5 rows at a time as the user scrolls down, which works, but it's buggy because the user can go down faster than the rows can load. I'm thinking about throwing up a "Retrieving" facade to make them wait while new rows load. But I'm looking around for a better option and wondering how this worked out for you - how do you continue to load rows while simultaneously listening for events? Do you do something to prevent them from scrolling down too fast or if they do then the rows eventually load so it's no big deal?
Thank you,
Joe
