Interestingly this morning's scan also has reduced the album art lookup times significantly:

Total Time: 00:15:34 (Monday, September 21, 2020 / 7:15 AM) I'm wondering where the album cover lookups have been stored if that is why the lookup time has reduced. My local 'artwork' folder is still empty - so I guess that is a source folder only? The slimserver/Cache/mai_coverart folder is empty also. I do have a fair amount of the 10k albums' artwork tagged or as discrete images, but I know there is a significant number still without. There is a sizeable artwork.db file (550MB). This is not a whinge, just noting it as a data point in case it's of interest! :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mr-b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10044 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99537 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
