I show the exact same issue when browsing to a subfolder with > 1400 videos.

The short-term fix was to place these 1400+ videos in subdirs.  I can now 
browse and play the videos.  However, these videos show in order of intid and 
not alphabetically by title in mythdroid.  In MythTV they show in proper 
alphabetical order.

I am also getting this problem with 5.3
Recordings work fine but videos says connection refused. I also have excess of 
>1200 videos so guess its a timeout issue or something.
Sub directories do not work for me. Am very willing to help identify the 
problem.

mdd will take a long time to enumerate so many videos and mythdroid will time 
out waiting for an answer. We'll need to thread/fork long running operations in 
mdd and implement some sort of keepalive in the protocol.. Will do.

Ok, it turns out we were adding coverart files to the HTTPServer whitelist all 
at once. r637 changes that so we only add them when required (i.e. when we 
browse the relevant subdirectory). Grateful if people who had issues with video 
list timeouts could pull mdd from svn trunk and test.

I still show the exact symptoms as indicated above.  I did clear the cache on 
the android prior to attempts.   I did grab mdd from trunk and it installed 
without issue.

wasylyna: Are your videos still in subdirectories or all back in one top-level 
directory? r637 should have improved the situation where videos are in 
subdirectories (say, for davidpitcheruk). I'll look at the remaining issues as 
soon as I get some time.

Grateful for additional testing post-r657/r658. We now send keepalives whilst 
enumerating videos, which should mean no more timeouts.

Should have said that there are related changes to MDD and MythDroid, so you'll 
need to update both from trunk..

Assume this was fixed by implementing keepalives
