How can the cache check use the path, since the path for different audio files will always be unique? Have you looked at the code? The only proper way to check for matches would be to calculate some type of hash value for the binary image data and to store that value in the cache database. But unless that value is already stored in the audio file's metadata that would require calculating it for every single embedded image encountered. That's a lot of additional effort. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98996 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
