buggy dircache activity renders ipod almost completely unresponsive

<< < (4/8) > >>

squidkidd:
Funny, I had come to post that this problem had returned when I found several others had beat me to it.  Same deal for me, using the current SVN, playback resume, dircache enabled, database update disabled.  I first noticed it on Monday's build.

Regards,
Brian

dip:
I have now checked build 17451 as mentioned by surfer and can confirm that with this build the problem mentioned in my post of May 24 is gone.

I further noticed that with the present build not only browsing the database makes the ipod unresponsive if at the same time dircache is initialized, but that playback is repeatedly interrupted over several minutes when playing music during dircache is initialized. This does also not happen with build 17451.

jhMikeS:
I would like to know if you could let the disk spin down after boot (wait five or so seconds after that as well) instead of doing all the dircache/database/resume playback right at boot. After that, run the updates manually and start playback to imitate the startup situation as closely as possible and see if the symptoms show at that point as well.

dip:
If I wait after reboot until the disk has stopped spinning (takes about 30-40 sec) I can browse the database and start playback without any problems, that means no lag during browsing and no interruptions during playback. Initializing dircache is shown in dircache info to have taken always about 30 seconds in this case.

In contrast, when I start browsing or playback before disk has stopped spinning, time for initializing dircache is much longer, e.g. indicated between 90 and 300 seconds. Sometimes it is then even indicated that dircache is not initialized.

Yes, i can confirm the same: when i start a song during the initial scan (without 'resume playback' set as start screen) all the symptoms as with 'resume playback' are there again.
