Title: PictureFlow doesn't work on Archos Recorder 8MB
Post by: aspartam on March 27, 2009, 04:50:07 AM

Hello,
my Archos Recorder with the 8MB mod stores about 4,000 Tracks and the half of them include AlbumArt.

After starting the PictureFlow PlugIn I have to wait for more than half an hour and after the initialization the plugin returns back to the Plugins/Demos folder without any error message.

Do I have to many AlbumArt? Or do I something wrong?

thanks :)

It most likely did display an error message. The trouble is that the error message is displayed for one second before exiting. This is corrected with r21112 - PictureFlow will now wait for the user to press SELECT before exiting if an error occurs. There are also some recent changes that should speed up album art search, if you've enabled the "load to RAM" option for the database.

This option is not available on targets with 8MB or less RAM though. ;)
(because the database would/could waste quite a percentage of precious RAM)

Yes, I see that now - I only grepped config.h and missed the context.
