Looking into the artwork cache directories I see that a scan generates and caches */*/cover_100x100_p images. When the webUI requests covers for the "Albums" menu squeezecenter generates and caches ANOTHER file */*/cover_100x100_o. So we have */*/cover_100x100_p AND */*/cover_100x100_o in cache

Hi guys, This might be a stupid question, and I apologise if it is, but could we not have the option of resizing/resampling album artwork offline on a proper PC? I have a ReadyNAS and a Controller, and it would be really nice to just let your (hopefully much more powerfull) PC perform all of the

Got it. (I was looking *.jpg files in cache :-| I have been following bug9757 and it would be great if something like that could be done via the webUI. For now I'm going to try and apply the patch. erm ... after finding out to apply a patch to *.pm file that is... Cheers -- Fishbones

i think a user, and esp a nas user, should be able to optionally run scans with settings they choose. imagine an "artwork only" scan. imagine a "music only" scan. sure, this may mean your music and art are somewhat out of sync at times, but the user should have the option. (other options in

I'm not sure that's the case - most of the NAS boxes out there are stripped down Linux boxes which should be perfectly capable of running a media server. Of course it depends on what the media server is trying to do. The issue for me around this whole episode was that ReadyNAS was purported to be

I'm running SqueezeCenter 7.2.1 on a ReadyNAS Duo and have noticed that when a scan is done with "Resample Artwork" set in the performance settings, viewing album art in the web interface and consequently also on a Philips Pronto with the SlimPronto module, is very slow to non functional. When a s

Thanks for the responses Michael. To answer the question around what I mean by 'more could/should be done during the initial scan', I would propose the following: 1) Provide a set of options which configures the resampling and caching of the various artwork sizes during the initial scan. Knowing

Bit of a long one this I'm afraid I've been doing some investigation into artwork resizing and caching in 7.01, prompted by the fact that it takes 30 secs to resample a 500x500 image on my RadyNAS NV+ to each required size, which means teh interface runs like a dog Note: I have tried reducin
