I've found that in later builds TVScout is about the only metadata grabber that really gets correct formatting for VB anymore. I also only use Salami's SMO for movies. I typically do experience a few crashes, like you describe, on a brand new install of VB with a blank cache. After getting it to populate (after a crash or two), I find that I no longer have any issue and don't experience any lag while scrolling through my collection. It has its bugs, but I still prefer it over anything else right now. After cleaning up my XML files, fixing a few folder images and reloading the cache a time or two, I've found it to be quite stable. Browser: Firefox 3.0.3 OS: Windows XP

I've had issues on multiple VMC installs with this app being unresponsive and locking up. It then asks me if I want to disable this application and I have to restart VMC for it to work again. It also seems rather slow when browsing a new library. Possibly due to image caching? Browser: Firefox 3.0.4 OS: Windows XP
