If these database interactions are as slow and unoptimized as I understand the scanning lookups to be, then it's no wonder BMF is so slow.
Actually, I think Dan said that something like this may be forthcoming in v6.5. I suggested that you be able to browse through the music folder without BMF actively looking for new and changed files. At each branch in the tree you can display a button that would let you explicitly catalog that folder and any subfolders. This would kill two birds - you'd have a nice, quick means of browsing the directory structure _and_ you'd also have a nice user interface for cataloging newly added music. I've been harping about this forever. At some point I'd really like a BMF does a simple directory browse, showing every single file in the folders - not what SlimServer thinks is in those folders and that it thinks is worthy of being cataloged in the database. Say you had 10 scans of artwork for an album - there's no way in SlimServer to view those scans. Display all image files in BMF, not just the single 'cover' and let a user click on the file names to view them. If you come across a playlist, allow the user to click the playlist to play the referenced files. It's one of those things that's conceptually so damned simple that I don't understand why it wasn't done a long time ago. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19080 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
