Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] How to check the progress of a scan of the USB drive?
I noticed that even after a 'good' scan, every time I remounted the USB-HD, it always found 1670 new files. This was strangely close to the number of albums (1614). I then remembered that when EAC rips each disc it creates an m3u playlist in each directory (back on fullfatSBS this had doubled-up my music until I pointed the playlist folder elsewhere). Searching the USB-HD i found excatly 1670 m3u playlists, so I deleted 18 and then remounted, only 1652 'new' files. I'll go ahead and delete the balance (a playlist = album is pretty useless anyway and see if I can turn off in EAC). They don't show under playlists on tinySC anyway. My question is what impact do these 'spurious' files have? tinySC is clearly identifying them as music, so must aim to do something but then doesn't recognise that they have been scanned at the next remount. I don't know whether the presence of these files has any impact of scan performacne or resulting server performance. will report back if any noticeable changes. -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio and 1 * Touch controlled by IR, SBC [and iPeng on iPhone - wifi died!!] 7.5.0 on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) upgraded to 2G RAM http://www.last.fm/user/digimich DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77230 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] How to check the progress of a scan of the USB drive?
I removed about 5 GByte of non-music files from the USB (~220G in a 320G drive used now). I then did another factory reset because the player had lost mysqueezebox.com password and there appears to be no way of entering it except after a factory reset. After doing the welcome wizard I mounted the USB drive and started a scan. After 4 hours or so it stopped the server with the usual warning SBT has stopped due to a problem (really informative that one). I then restarted the server and it continued scanning (it still is acording to the server status actually). I see the memory is 67% full under advanced/diagnostics. However, now everything is working well. I have my 3k file library all available with albumart and I am logged into mysqueezebox. Lets see how long it lasts. I think this proves that the problems are more software related than hardware. If it works well intermitently then it could always work if they just fix the damn bugs. -- RichardLittlewood RichardLittlewood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37668 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77230 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

DigitalMitch;538401 Wrote: Accepting that, I'm on the path of trying to optimise but I am struggling to understand/isolate issues which are library size related and others which could be settings/setup/bugs. I understand your 3 examples are clearly directly based on library size, I have several others which I think should be independent:- music stream is interuppted or stuttering Figuring out what is going on with the stuttering is ongoing. Is it happening with FLAC files? A number of people have gotten around the problem by re-encoding using level -0 compression. If scanning is still going on when trying to play music all bets are off. In addition any animated visualizers can take up CPU time (spectrum analyzer, VU meters, picture viewer). When the server is running the processor has to handle both the server side and the player side so anything else going on can cause problems. If you have the drive shared try unsharing it, samba takes up some memory and cycles. can't connect to mySB for MyApps or App Gallery whilst playing from tinySC That one I don't have a solution for. It works fine for me. There are log files on the Touch which are frequently useful in debugging this sort of thing. You have to ssh into the Touch and then you can read the log files. If there are errors making connections you might find pertinent info in the logs. tinySC doesn't scrobble to last.fm I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with large libraries, etc. I don't do scrobbling so I've never tried it. I suspect that the former may be incurred by outstanding scan issues/background processes caused by a 'bad' scan/remount which may have been caused by library size. Is there any reason library size should affect the other two issues. In terms of large, does non-music on the USB have any impact? (discovering files seems to go to 60,000 which I guess includes all non-music) I don't think so. At one point I connected a drive which had 2 million files, most of which were NOT audio files. There was about 10gigs of audio files in various locations on the disk. It handled it perfectly, found the audio files and ignored the rest. Also, is large defined purely by number of files or does type of file and length of track (i.e. size of file) also impact? I THINK its probably number of songs not size of file thats an issue. I have a disk which has about 100 songs on it but each song is 2 gig in size (they are raw concert recordings), this scans very quickly. Just a few thoughts on scanning in general, which you probably already know but here goes anyway. The scan stores data in the .Squeezebox dir on the disk. If there is an existing one from an external server or if there is a partial one from a scan which did not complete, its a good idea to delete it before starting the scan. I've seen the scanner do weird things when it couldn't correctly read the database. Turn off sharing, this leaves a little more memory which might help. Don't plug in an SD card. Don't do anything else while scanning, don't touch the screen, don't display pictures, nothing. The sequence I have found that gives the best chance of success is to disconnect the drive, unplug the power on the Touch. Plug the drive into another computer and delete .Squeezebox directory. Plug power into the Touch, let it sit for a couple minutes so all startup and initialization precesses have finished. Plug in the drive. When it comes up with the message about using the eject button go ahead and select the item for viewing the scan progress. After this don't touch the Touch until its done or you are really sure its hung. When done eject the drive, unplug drive, unplug power. Plug in power, wait a couple minutes, plug in drive, wait for (hopefully much shorter) rescan. At this point you should be good to go for playing music.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] How to check the progress of a scan of the USB drive?
There are no hard and fast rules. Its not a number in the software that after its reached stuff doesn't work. There seems to be a gradual degradation in performance (initial scan time, remount scan time, GUI responsiveness etc) as the database gets larger. Exactly where things start to get really bad seems to be very individual setup dependant. Several beta testers are running large libraries on big disks and its working fine for them. Others (such as those posting here in this thread) are having major problems. Unfortunately right now nobody knows what the differences are. I don't think anybody can say right now If you do this its guaranteed to work and if you do this its guaranteed not to work. Its going to take some more experience to find out what parameters affect it and how to optimize a large library running on the builtin server. For now if you are having major difficulties there are a couple options: spend more time trying to find out what you can do that will improve things with the current setup, give up in disgust and return it, or go to an external server. It doesn't have to be very expensive, the Sheevaplug costs $99 and can be used with the USB drive you already have. I think most people are going to prefer the experience with the external server, you have the full capabilities of the server at your disposal, which are probably even more important for people with large collections.

I have read elsewhere that it can take roughly 5 times longer than it would on a PC. Last time I did a scan on my PC, it took roughly 45 mins, so should I be expecting a scan to take 3 hours?

Big thumbs up from me. -- Mr_Sukebe SB Touch, Meridian 568.2, Bel Canto Evo2i, Impulse Ta'us, Coherent system, audio-technica and Zanash cables, Stillpoints Mr_Sukebe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10609 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77230 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
