Hi,
I have a number of RMVB files (Real Media/Read Video) which I find to
be of great quality and yet small size.
The problem I have is that when freevo access folders which contains
these rmvb files, it' will slow to a crawl. It will show "Scanning
directory, be patient" and then depending on the # of files I have
there, take between 5 min to 1 hour to process them. (it's even worst
when these files are not local, but on a SMB network share)
I know it is processing these files because from the Wife's windows box,
I can see it accessing the files incrementally.
I'm not sure what freevo is doing. Is it going through Mplayer to _look_
at the file? Or is it going through mminfo?
I tried doing
$ mminfo -d /path/to/some/rmvb file
mmpython media info
application/pcm registered
[SNIP]
...
No Type found by Extension. Trying all
...
Trying video/real
And then it hangs there for a while.
Then This
filename : Motel.ch01.rmvb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/mminfo", line 87, in ?

I'm gonna try upgrading to 0.4.9 (I'm on 0.4.7 now)
