Re: [slim] Re: Rescan speed - is this normal?
Hey, Michael. How come that worked? I thought that was only for switching versions. ... Slimserver will always create the db file if it can't find it. I have experienced strange scan results which would not disappear with a simple rescan. I delete my file whenever I'm doing an update (I don't update daily on my main server). -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Rescan speed - is this normal?
No, it's not normal. Not for any processor faster than a slug. Check to make sure you don't have any loops in your music database. A loop would be a windows shortcut pointing back up the directory tree, or a playlist referring to songs that had moved and are no longer there, or a playlist that had been moved from it's original directory, or a cue sheet with similar errors (I don't know enough about cue sheets to know how to make them loop). These things will cause some versions of SlimServer to fail (actually to loop forever). Some of the new beta versions of the server incorporate self-defence code that traps some of these situations but not all. -- Michaelwagner Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21540 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Rescan speed - is this normal?
Thanks. I don't have any Windows shortcuts (at least, none I created intentionally)in my music folder ... I do have a playlist sitting on one of my Squeezeboxes that might possibly be referring to a file I moved. If I have a loop, would the rescan always loop forever? In both of my recent rescans (the second of which JUST finished), the rescan eventually finished. Might doing a Clear library and recan everything help? -- Jon Jon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2848 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21540 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Hmm...a few things to check: 1. what version of slimserver are you running? 2. are your music files on a local hard disk or somewhere else? 3. Under Server / Performance / Database Temporary File Tuning (SQLite), make sure it's set to Use RAM 4. next down, Database Cache Size Tuning , 10,000 is the default and it works for me at about 8000 tracks.
