dir buffer full again

<< < (2/2)

batko:
OK, I found a solution.

I simply set the MAX FILES IN DIR BROWSER limit to 20,000 instead of 10,000.

Of course this wasn't possible INSIDE rockbox system settings, as the highest number available is only 10,000. Instead I changed the setting in config.cfg file while connected to the PC.

MOST PLAYED and RECENTLY PLAYED are up and running again!

I'm affraid I'll have to change the limit each time the number of actually played tracks exceeds the setting. Wander what the cause on battery life might be... say, after couple of years (I listen to 20,000 songs a year).

Llorean:
If you're listening to 20,000 songs a year, that's approximately four hours of un-repeated music every day. Assuming normal human wakefulness that's an approximate maximum of each song being played, on average, 4 times a year. Why do you need the "Most played" and "Recently Played" lists if you almost never repeat songs?

Hi,

i think the database only stores when a song was played last, and not the complete history, so even if a song was played twice it'll only appear once in that list.

My "directory buffer is full" issue is also fixed. With playing with those 2 options,  I left them at:

Max Files in Dir Browser = 2500
Max Playist Size = 2000

Anything lower than those 2 brings the message.

I was particularly getting the message on one of my custom queries, the least 100 played songs:

%format "f_least_played_100" "%2d|%3d %s (%s) " playcount autoscore title artist %limit = "100"
"English Least 100" -> title = "f_least_played_100" ? composer ~ "english"

I guess the query used to break because it was bringing all the songs, then sorting by playcount and then filtering.

I use this one all the time because I want to rotate my songs and bring back the ones with less playcounts.
