I'm not convinced that scanning is such a heavyweight process that it couldn't be run efficiently on the lightest computer platforms. What needs to happen (for many reasons, this being just one) is that full clear/scans must be the _rare_ exception, not the rule necessary to fix the many remaining scanning idiosyncracies. An incremental scan of new and changed material should suit a lightweight platform just fine. > * Precompute things to reduce efforts to support the player in realtime. > For example, Browse artists/albums/songs could be divided up in groups > (no of groups could be a configurable parameter, e.g. 20) which means > that the number of artists/albums/songs never exceeds 20 at the outmost > level of the browsing tree, and each level of the browsing tree has at > most 20 branches. I think the current SlimServer approach has room for large improvements in efficiency. Many things have been done simply, while hoping to introduce as few bugs as possible. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37279 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
