The performance of Browse Music Folder will always be related to the number of items in the folder, so yes, reducing that will help. However, as signor_rossi mentioned, you're missing out if you're only using BMF. The whole point of the scan is to populate the db so you can browse/search it instead of the filesystem. That should be _much_ faster than BMF, particularly with large directories.
As for scan time, yes it's slow on an (average) NAS. There's no magic bullet to improve that, but for tips/suggestions ask in the 3rd Party Hardware forum. When sqlite and the new scanner are in place things will be better (people were seeing maybe 30% improvement during testing) but that could be a way off. What I (and many others) do is just not use a NAS. A small PC is cheaper & (much) faster than a dedicated NAS, and doesn't have to use much more power. It takes my $100 server <20 mins to scan 20k tracks. -- radish http://www.last.fm/user/polymeric ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66331 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
