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 ? print unicode(medium).encode('latin-1', 'replace') File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mmpython/mediainfo.py", line 350, in __unicode__ result += MediaInfo.__unicode__(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mmpython/mediainfo.py", line 156, in __unicode__ (a, unicode(b), unicode(self[b])) or a, keys, u'' ) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mmpython/mediainfo.py", line 155, in <lambda> result += reduce( lambda a,b: self[b] and b != u'url' and u'%s\n %s: %s' % \ UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xca in position 8: ordinal not in range(128) I'm gonna try upgrading to 0.4.9 (I'm on 0.4.7 now) -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
