Steve - what OS are you using? If you can compile Ogg::Vorbis::Header from
CPAN - which a compiled C version, instead of the pure perl version which we
ship with SlimServer. That should be much faster for you.


Are there any instructions/steps on how to compile Ogg::Vorbis::Header on a Linux box? and would it also speed up scanning FLAC files (which I believe also use the Ogg tags)?


What Linux distribution are you on? Some have it available as a package.

Mandrake 10.1.

Since I am using only FLAC with the occasional MP3, I guess I don't need to compile Ogg::Vorbis::Header.

FLAC, although it uses vorbis tags, has a different header format. I wrote
Audio::FLAC::Header - which has both a compiled and pure perl part. It will
fall back to the perl only if the XS module isn't available. You can compile
it for more speed. libFLAC is needed.

I believe I have XS installed since I have the /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/XS and auto/XS directories.


I also have libFLAC installed.

So then, how do I compile it? I am afraid Perl is a mystery for me at this point.

Avi
