My first comment has to be this: SbS 7.6 is unusable while the artwork download is running. The web GUI takes 2min 28secs to start up! SbS is using < 5% CPU, and top shows it sitting on a select(). I bore the pain, connected one of my old SliMP3s to the test server, and tried to play something. Shouldn't have bothered: no way can I get any sound out of the poor old thing, and the display looks as if it doesn't quite know what's happening. I gave up, pointed the SliMP3 back at the 7.5.1 server, and it's treating me to some ambient glitch right now. On the plus side, even though 7.6 didn't manage to play anything, it did show the artwork (after about 5 minutes). Regarding the artwork download misses, I've poked around a bit and come up with: - Quite a few of my tags are incorrect: there are spelling mistakes, missed punctuation, incorrect punctuation (backticks instead of apostrophes), spaces where there shouldn't be, no spaces where there should be, etc. Correcting these is my problem, I guess. - There are a number of misses for titles ending in "EP" or "(EP)". I'm not sure if you're stripping those, nor if you should be. - Another frequent miss is for titles containing "Limited Edition", but this appears both as "Album Title (Limited Edition)" and "Album Title (Limited Edition: CD 1)"... awkward to try to trim this. - Named CDs in multi-CD sets, e.g. "Buddha Bar (CD1 - Buddha's Dinner)". - The strings "(demo)", "(2CD)", and "(Bonus cd|disk|disc)". - Bands who sometimes surround their name with funny characters, e.g. :A7IE:, :Golgotha:, [:SITD:]. - Friggin' ID3V1 tags which truncate long album names. I chose a couple of dozen misses which didn't have any obvious cause, and checked on last.fm for the covers. All of those I looked at either didn't have covers, or were absent entirely. I think that's good. -- pallfreeman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pallfreeman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37667 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80979 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
