Pipping, did some more testing and it appears to be a cache issue. Taking advice I saw earlier in this thread that once artwork is loaded you know the cacheing is done I saw the following:
When I just browse into a genre, say Genre -> reggae ... it joins gets cached and as long as I stay in that path everything works great. But if I surf over to another genre, say genre - Heavy Metal it appears to have to go out and recache that genre. I think on the large Genres it then takes some time, I get uppity and surf to another genre and blam suddenly your cacheing 2 genres! Now that I have played with surfgin across all the genres and I think everything is cahced it appears to be working great. Im dreading updating my library! Is that how it works or am I crazy in interpreting the way it caches? Is there a way on start up to say scan and cache everything so after the inital scan you dont take hits everytime you open a new genre? (I think thats thats supposed to be the noraml behavior but it sure didnt appear that way in playing with it last night) Is there/could there be an option to say dont scan/display artwork so it increases the scan time in large collections but still displays the artwork for whats playing? Is that where the major hit comes from? Artwork cacheing? I dont care so much for seeing a tiny jpg of the album art but do like seeing it while the trck is playing? Now that it seems to have worked out all the lag issues it appears great. Think I wll hold off any updates to SC for a week and see if this really isd stable and fast and then deal with a rescan. Want to enoy it for a bit ;) -- Itlan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Itlan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
