1: You could try running freevo cache,then the cache is prebuilt and indexing wont occur on every directory-entry. I think the current mediadb in freevo 2.0 CVS is differrent from the one in freevo background indexing etc.. ask dichi? I'm trying to change the current file-based mediadb in CVS into a sqlite database. (cached images still on filesystem) but it won't be much faster for directory based browsing. It will enable other features like search/album-trees/smart-playlists. Current status:(just testing/not a definite change yet) Replaced file based-db with sqlite,I can now show(and index) 1 directory without crashing, after I'm done I'll have to rewrite large parts of it the right way and discuss here with the main developers. 2: I also think freevo could use a "active-playlist" and option "add this file to active-playlist" , but there is no work being done on that yet. I don't think freevo needs a xmms-playlist. The good features of a playlist like that should be inside freevo. > > Are these ideas currently under developpement (or even... accessible) ? > If not, would you mind giving me some pieces of information for where I > should start at, which project I could base myself on... > I would like a better active-playlist for freevo ;-) Martijn. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
