floink · 2004-01-31, 02:13

tried scanning my music archive with cvs from 30th and i must say that i couldn't believe my eyes. what usually took me someting like 3-4 hours no took about 15mins. *

thankyou very much for that improvment!

next time this app hits *****, with all the new stuff thats been added lately, it's gonna be a real blockbuster. believe me!

great work as always devs!!!

her, will this speed increment have some impact over browsing of dvd full of mp3? as todey, they crash xbmc.

is it just me or is the scan speed for my music back to 'same old slow' scan speed in the 2004-02-01 cvs?

floink · 2004-02-02, 01:03

ok so after some testing it seems as though this speed improvemnt got lost for the 040201 cvs or else i'm doing something strange.
i tried installing old 040131 build and scan was still slow.
then installed 040130 bulid and scan is fast again.

confirmation or opposite anyone?

i have not found an answer yet on why it is slow again ??

but i have a question about the scan:
have you made the rescan with deleted cover art? or have you only deleted mymusic5.db

because every thumb is saved to q:\albums\thumbs\temp first and is later moved to q:\albums\thumbs.

so now every coverart gets extracted to the thumbs dir.

maybe this is the point, that the coverart reading took so long

my xbox has been offline for the last month or so so i haven't actually got any cover art yet. i do think there are two albums out of 600+ that still got theirs left from before though. apart from those the default image is used. i believe i deleted all mumusicxx.db files. but i'll have another go and see if i get any differences.

sorry for bringing it up here but another thing about this default cover art image. i've made a default image as a png and removed the jpg version for retro-skin. this made the default image dissappeared from album view. so i put the jpg back and then the default image is back but it seems to be using the png as there is an alpha channel!? you can see it for yourself if you use the retro skin.

yupp, back to fast with build from 4th. nice

. also noticed that 'display of current file being scanned' is gone. guess thats good for speed too?

i believe but i'm not sure that at the end of scan there is a message displayed for a fraction of a sec saying something like "scanning - this may take some time" maybe this mess should be displayed before scan and stay on line one of dialog until scan is done?

great work again bobbin007
