Kodi slow without internet. - jmgibson1981 - 2020-11-11
I found a few threads here about the Kodi interface and it's performance when your internet goes down. I dealt with this issue today.
Kodi was moving very slow. I tried disabling auto library update. Nothing. Scoured my logs, nothing.
On a one off I switched to using an ip instead of a name from my local dnsmasq for mariadb and mythtv. Low and behold it shot like a boss. It now loads on boot fully ready, all art, and mythtv within 10 seconds of Kodi start. Before it was a bit of a waiting game. Without internet 100x worse.
I'm guessing my dnsmasq isn't configured right. But I did solve the issue. Recommending checking this for yourself if you have the same issue.

Posting my final solution. It was a misconfigured Dnsmasq. As usual the Arch wiki wins the day. Followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/dnsmasq @ the DNS server section as I could where it applied to my network. Changed my Kodi sql and mythtv targets to fqdn instead of IP's. Kodi launches perfectly and damn near instantly.
