Hi, I think it's time for a quick update...
A few weeks ago, I updated to 7.6.1. I had terrible time with the initial full scan, and it took me many server restart to get through the full scan. I commented on my experience here : http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=652049#post652049 After that initial painful experience, 7.6.1 ended up to be much more enjoyable than 7.5.4. The navigation though the database feels definitely faster than 7.5.4, and when I start playing track the song info and artwork take much less time to appear. Partial scans worked without a glitch. Some features like search and player synchronisation that I never managed to make work in 7.5.4 are now working properly, and I must admit I'm now using synchronisation a lot. I could not be more pleased. Yesterday, I've upgraded to 7.7 (TinyLMS ?). The upgrade was very smooth. After rebooting to 7.7, it decided to rescan my music from scratch (full scan - 8k tracks). The scan went through without a glitch first time, I did not time it but it took probably around 25 minutes. And TinyLMS is now working beautifully. One reason the scan may have succeeded first time with 7.7 may be that in the mean time, I've disabled Samba (export Windows share), and that may have freed up enough memory to make a difference. However, the scan code has definitely changed between 7.6.1 and 7.7, as we now have nice scan progress messages on the screen, similar to they way they were in 7.5.4 and earlier, instead of the weird upper-case strings in 7.6.1. I must admit I did not retry another full scan with 7.7. So, I can't be sure what made the difference, but I suspect 7.7 is better... Anyway, people having problem with the scan may want to check if disabling disk sharing helps. >From my very limited testing, it looks like 7.7 behaves as good 7.6.1, with fixes to the scanner. I would personally recommend TinySB users to upgrade to 7.7, because to me it has the best of 7.6.1 and 7.5.4. Have fun...
