I should have realised that I had done something different. Although I had not added any new music I had made a new playlist (all the music the significant other likes). Turning on d_scan and running tail -f /var/log/slimserver/slimserver.log while triggering a clear & rescan, it became clear that the poor performance all occurred when scanning the playlist, not the music collection itself. Now the playlist was pretty long (around 5000 tracks) and to make matters worse, I had set my music directory to /home/music and playlist directory to /home/music/playlists which meant that the playlist was actually scanned twice (aside: do I correctly deduce from this that it is better not to have your playlists directory a sub-directory of your music root). Temporarily removing the offending playlist massively improved performance.
SlimServer should skip over playlists that are under your music directory.
By this point my performance had improved and I had most of the missing artwork back, but a few were still missing. For the remaining missing images, it looks as though the bug http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3245 has reappeared since all of the missing artwork sits in directories which included accented characters. Since these images were working fines a few days ago and I haven't modified those files/directories, I'd guess that the bug has returned.
This patch was applied only to 6.5. Is that what you're running? Thanks -D -- <faisal> my life is collapsing to what will soon be NEGATIVE INTEGER degrees of separation. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
