Database truncates tag info?

<< < (3/3)

dip:
Maybe it's not a problem of the database since the tags are also truncated in the track info page (accessible by pressing and holding Select from the WPS screen to get the Context Menu and then selecting "Show Track Info").

So it seems to be a more general problem with reading long tags. Does anybody know where to look for this limit in the source code?

Lear:
No, the tagcache isn't the main problem, as already mentioned (show track info and the tagcache use the same code to read the tags). It should be enough to increase the ID3V2_BUF_SIZE value in apps/metadata.h. 600 to 900 is reasonable, I think, at least for targets with more than 2 MB of RAM.

dip:
Thanks a lot for pointing to the code. I will try that and report if it solves the problem.

Edit:
I changed the value to 900 and now no tag is truncated anymore! Great!

Maybe this value should be set in metadata.h to different sizes depending on the target? You mentioned that for targets with more than 2 MB of RAM a value of 600 to 900 should be reasonable. I have an ipod video with 64 MB so isn't it a shame that I (and several people before me) ran into this problem?
