overactive dir cache?

<< < (4/4)

squidkidd:
When I turn off the dircache and then back on again, its definitely not just doing a background scan because the dircache in the settings menu still shows that it is turned off.

Earlier I had the theory that if the player gets turned off before it finishes its background scan, then the next time the player gets turned on it must do a full scan at startup.  This however I found not to be the case as I left  the player on for a significant length of time before turning it off, and it still did a "scanning disk" upon the next turn on.

My H140 does a background scan, which pretty much takes equal the time it takes when it says 'Scanning Disk...' at boot time.

It takes around 2 minutes (OK, 59 s at my last boot for cache size of 3896589 B, 69591 entries, on v r13875-070714) to complete, as I have a lot of NSF, SID, & SPC files (pretty much their entire sets) on my H140.

Llorean:
The H140 is a different situation entirely. Because the bootloader is in flash and the first active code at boot, we can know if you've run the iRiver firmware or not.

Sherv:
I've been experiencing similar issues as squidkidd on my iAudio X5 but I have not taken the proper measures to troubleshoot it. Incidentally, it seems (but I'm not 100% sure since, like I said, I have not properly tested this extensively) that having dircache "on" interferes with and stalls NSF playback. When it is toggled off, however, NSF playback, track switching, and such proceed properly and without a hitch. For what it's worth.
