The only situation where either Custom Scan or TrackStat can cause problems is: 1. At startup 2. During scanning 3. When browsing either TrackStat menus or Custom Browse menus using Custom Scan data
In 1 and 2, both TrackStat and Custom Scan runs refresh operations, I generally advice people to disable the startup refresh in their respective settings pages but keep the refresh after rescan if possible. The refresh operation is most important after you have renamed/moved a file. I plan to take a look at this to see if it's possible to optimize the refresh queries a bit, I think they have generally become a lot slower since the switch to SQLite database in 7.6. However, in the near future I need to prioritize some other things, but something that would help me is if people startup SBS/LMS with debug logging as I described earlier in this thread and post the log together with information about library size and which hardware you are using because that will show if everyone have issues with the same thing or if it's multiple issues depending on how your library looks like and which hardware you are using. I believe davidfox2116, the starter of this thread, mostly had issues with point 3 (browsing performance). What I've seen myself regarding this is that browsing performance can be a bit inconsistent depending on if the database data is cached by SQLite or if it needs to be retrieved from the disk. Usually it's first slow and after you have browse a menu it works fast for a while until the data is removed from the cache and then it's slow again until you have accessed it once again. This is a new problem with SQLite, it was a lot more consistent with MySQL as I remember it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96124 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
