I clocked a full load of all thumbs in the web gui this afternoon at 95 seconds...My thumbnails were set to 100 in SC Settings. Tunes are individual folders with m3u and art etc. All art is folder.jpg (most folders also have folder.png). Each individual track is also tagged with art courtesy of MP3Tag, SC is correctly pointed to the folder in which all the albums (folders of flacs) reside. Currently 412 folders of very fine tunes, headed for 500 this summer. XP is latest update SP2, SC 7.0, Firefox 2.0, Zone Alarm and McAfee on but program control in ZA is off. Memory to spare, a 3G Pentium 4 with a gig of RAM to play with, SB and Firefox rarely get a third of the way to the edge of the system envelope when both are running (though Squeezecenter can be a Java hog when running). Tunes are on a very zippy Iomega Ego 250 Gig USB on a fast port, flacs stream flawlessly.
Strangely, setting the thumbs to 50 took a full two minutes to load! With thumbs set to 300 pixels (closer to the average folder.jpg image size), it took a mere 40 seconds. Folder.jpg pixel size may vary from flac folder to folder, depending on where MP3Tag found the art, so resampling could be part of the problem. Though it seems as if rescan should create a master thumbs.db of some sort that enables a faster load regardless of image size or location. Tried Explorer also, but same slow load as Firefox. Changing thumbs to 300 and albums per page to 100, however, cut the load to 12 seconds - but it sure was nice to be able to flip through them all without paging. -- Fleury ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fleury's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9783 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46708 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
