Short SELECT doesn't return to database browser

<< < (2/4) > >>

Llorean:
Considering you can't know that the database even exists in the same form after the reboot (new filters rewritten, etc), nor what search was used to create the playlist (unless more data is saved), the only thing you *can* know with a certainty is "If this file is playing, then it exists on disk where we expected it to, so we can also send the file browser there"

DervishD:
Thanks for all the answers.

Lorean made it clear: if we cannot know if the database is "up'n'running" after a reboot, going to it is a bit risky...

I'm starting to thing that this is not exactly a bug. I will have to live with it!

Thanks :)

Hey, I just updated to RB3, and I'm amazed at the progress. Very impressive! :)

I'm just stumped with a few database issues, so please excuse my "rant"! ;)

Wow, too bad noone hasn't thought this through yet.
On my iriver H320 I enabled the db for two reasons:
1.) shorter boot-up-time
2.) less HD activity

Now when i disable dir-cache the HD always has to spin on when i press SELECT shortly. Too bad, because I really want to go th the DB browser, and presumably to the state where I left it when the device was powered off.

The file-browser mimicks this behaviour perfectly. I use the iriver in the car mostly, so it's nice to have the browser pick up where i left it.

Like this, the database (which is an incredible feat, imnsho!) is rather impractical. :(

Is there a customized build out there that perhaps handles this better?

JdGordon:
they are not DB issues... your assumtpions are incorrect.
1) enabling the db if anything will increase boot time (maybe...)
2) there is more disk activity to keep the db up to date if any files change.

your biggest mistake was disabeing dircache which the file browserr and the DB use. re-enabe that and your disk activity will drop back to where its expected (almost none in regular browsing). enable "load to ram" in the database settings and you will have no disk activity when browsing the db.. (you will have a smaller audio buffer though so slightly more disk activity when you are listening to music though)

fizze:
I did enable the load to ram feature.

Well, as my iriver is parked in my car it'S contents are hardly ever changing.
I really want to reduce boot-up time. So disabling dir cache seemed unnecessary when the DB was active.
Maybe I got the whole DB thing wrong..... :confused:

I'm aware of the reduced ram thingy, but that's fine with me.
