The scanner runs in a seperate process to not interfere with the server process (causing dropouts and sluggish remote response). If you just spawn off a number of threads this idea will be compromised again especially on slower (one processor) systems. On those systems the overall performace could even be worse considering the resource overhead needed to synchronize the threads.

That would also aid in performance, as a new CD would not force one to rescan their entire library. Allow importing of a text file (say comma seperated) to import new files.Michael already pointed you in the right direction. Isn't it easier to browse a directory structure than to create and import a custom text file? ;-) -s. -- slimpy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31001 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
