Here is such a chain: http://richard.vdberg.org/gnupod/ok/11181/iTunesDB http://richard.vdberg.org/gnupod/ok/11182/iTunesDB http://richard.vdberg.org/gnupod/ok/11183/iTunesDB http://richard.vdberg.org/gnupod/not_ok/11184/iTunesDB > Does this file have anything in its attributes that the files that you > added successfully (until #11531) did not have? artwork maybe? Nope. In fact it breaks in the middle of an album. All those songs had been added with the same gnupod_addsong.pl --artwork run. > Could you try to add the SAME file over and over until you get a non > working state?

I can do so tonight, but I was rather hoping of finding this bug without having to wipe my iPod. Can't I just create a fake GNUtunesDB.xml with the same file over and over again? I don't have the space left to add another 11000 actual songs to my iPod (unless it's 1 kb or smaller). In my testing so far I've just been manually editing GNUtunesDB.xml and running mktunes.pl to generate a new iTunesDB. > Best way to get there is a binary search. That's exactly what I used last night. :-) 15 iterations for 30000 files is the best you can do. > Did you try adding your collection with gtkpod? I assume it will be much > faster as it is not written in perl. Nope. I really don't need a GUI and yet another local database to keep track off. I want gnupod! :-) > I guess you add your collection album (directory) wise? So one > gnupod_addsong process for each directory? Yep. I need to because gnupod_addsong does not support different artwork for different albums otherwise. I wrote a wrapper around gnupod_addsong to set the right --artwork and --compilation options automagically. > I suspect that most of the time will still be spent in > GNUpod::XMLhelper::mkfile and GNUpod::XMLhelper::xescaped I think so too. The wait for loading the XML was 30 seconds with 10000 files, and grew to 2 minutes with 30000 songs after a pod2tunes (create a lot more XML attributes). I'll do the profiling tonight. Thanks for you input. Cheers, Richard _______________________________________________ Bug-gnupod mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnupod
