Performance #149

Im a little bit worried about the performance.

Going into the movie section is getting slower. Before only loading the movies section for the first time took some time but then browsing back and forth felt very quickly.

The movie cover seem to load twice when jumping back from the info page.

Can we load the media part in the background and/or reduce the amount of stuff thats loaded when jumping into the movie section. Would like to jump through the page with content already loaded or loaded very quickly.

Scrolling the movie cover and list view on our Hittable is not smooth. OS Windows 8 With Explorer it works well. Do you have an idea to improve scrolling lists with Chrome.

After doing a research about this, I found some potential improvements:

Every time the cover list is opened, the app request for:
- The whole movie collection
- All the genres on existing movies
- All the years on existing movies

At the moment we can focus on improve that. There exists more complex and better solutions for that, maybe in coming miletones we can discuss about it and try to implement it.

Modifications made in order to improve the performance on media sections:

When the import process has finished, all the clients are notified though a socket.io event.
- This allows to avoid showing data that is being procesed (possible errors on clients).
- Don't request the same data each time that the user enters on a media section. (Movie collection, Genre filters and Year filters)
- The update process on clients only is executed when the data changed.
- Was created the /api/media/refresh url to allow force the media update on all clients.
