I mixed up some things here did not realise that OP used Touch on-board server ,that has no settings :-/ running the normal LMS on a computer/NAS/Something ,then you have this preference easily available , but on the other hand migth not need it at all then . However if you find the server.prefs file there is a value precacheArtwork: 1 that you could experiment with , but given Touch slow speed it could be slow selecting any album as the art is pre cached when it encounters unscanned art in an album .

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Pre-caching artwork problem
On a Touch the file is located here /etc/squeezecenter/prefs/server.prefs Enable remote login in the Touch settings then log on to it using SSH via a terminal on Linux or OSX or a terminal app on windows (like putty) .

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Pre-caching artwork problem
Hello all, Well, pleased to say problem is know fixed. I used Mp3tag to remove all artwork and that still didn't fix it so I devided my collection in half and loaded 1 half onto a USB stick. The touch scanned the stick correctly. Good so fare. Then I had a stroke of luck. I had decided to add albums 5 at atime until it failed the scan. The next five albums I added made it fail the scan. I then removed them one at a time until the scan completed successfuly. It turned out to be a Kasabian album which according to Mp3tag doesnt even have any artwork. Very strange. The result is I know have my hole collection minus 1 album all running lovely. Thanks for all the help.

It is not only the embedded art that's matter ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Pre-caching artwork problem
Hello Mnyb, there was no artwork in folder as I had deleted them first. Very strange. Even when i look at the tags no artwork is shown.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Pre-caching artwork problem
Hi, Thanks for the replies. I spent a fun couple of hours deleting everything that wasnt a sound file. Took ages. So I don't think there are any pictures left to cache. Any other ideas. Can I turn the cacheing function off?

I suggest getting a copy of Mp3tag and looking at the tags. http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96767 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Thanks, good call. There are about three albums with artwork in the Tags. How do I remove the artwork. Does't seem obvious in the programme.

BTW, I would eject the SD card from the Touch, and on your PC delete the folder .Squeezebox.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Pre-caching artwork problem
Missed that one re using the Tiny server in Touch = no settings . And very limited cpu and ram (and no swap ,by default ) = erratic performance .

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Pre-caching artwork problem
Perhaps some unusually large embedded cover art in some of the files? The recommendation seems to be that artwork should be kept under 500x500 pixels and be in jpg format, don't think it's a hard size limit so if some files are slightly larger it will still work but a few really large images could probably kill things. alfista's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96767 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
