Database - Does it work as badly as I think?

<< < (2/6) > >>

Zsan:
My apoligies for a late reply. It takes 10-20 seconds when I select a song, and there is a message in the center of the screen: Searching, (Counter, going down) found. When I hit next, it is faster, and even when I enqueue a file, it's faster (Say, almost instant on the first, 3 seconds on the second.)

Dircache is enabled.

bascule:
How many music files in your database (Plugins > Stats will tell you).

It may just be, if you've filled your 80GB, that you have a massive database...

You say you have enabled load to RAM, which is good, but have you rebooted the player since then. If not, the setting may not actually be in force. This setting really should fix the problem, so make absolutely sure it is set.

Alternatively, if you are trying to select songs immediately after start-up, when the database is still being loaded, then it it can be slow and/or buggy.

Just wanted to add that to reboot means to shut down by holding play, then restart by pressing centre. If you hold menu + centre, it does a hard reset which does not save your settings.

Oh lord, that explains a bit. Even so, I checked, and they are both on. I constantly reboot the player (Did it with a Play hold then centre hold this time) and it did scan for dirs, and it seems Database load to RAM is on. I also reinstalled RB a few times already.

I did NOT fill the 80 GB at all. There's 2668 or so music files on my player, a total of 3694 files. Also, after it's searched for the files (Like I said, the counter goes down from about the total number of sonjgs I have.) and it plays the song, if I select another, it will search again. Leaving it on for a bit doesn't help.

It is aggrevating me a little bit, because it seems I am doing something wrong.

Does anybody with an 80gig iPod want my entire rockbox dir, see if that helps?

bascule:
Better to write a config file and post that (Settings > Manage Settings > Write .cfg file)

It still sounds like the Database is not in RAM somehow... ???
