Problem with database?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Chronon:
The PDF manual is searchable with an appropriate reader.  ;)

You didn't mention about how you update Rockbox's database.  Have you set it to do this automatically or have you told it to update manually?

Tegzz:
I've got it now working in that it will update when I put new music on the player but I'm still having problems with multiple file entries.

I followed the link you gave me and enabled both the "Load database to ram" AND "Directory Cache" options as was advised but the problem persists. I've also disabled auto-update as some found that to be the problem. Any ideas?

Chronon:
Did you initialize the database since you enabled those settings?  I'm not certain that changing settings will eliminate multiple entries if they were already created.  Possibly, it lessens the likelihood of them appearing but doesn't get rid of them if your database already contains them.

You are welcome to post in the bug report with your findings.  Any new information about reliable ways to trigger the problem is welcome as maybe it will provide a better hint as to the actual source of the problem.  I haven't seen this happen on my players in a while --- though, I admit I mainly use the file browser.

Tegzz:
I did initialize the database but I'm realizing that there might be something stopping the settings I changed from taking effect. Few things are happening. If I disable auto-update and try to update the database, rather than simply updating it with the thousand or so files I have, it continues (as far as I can tell) indefinitely. I stopped it at 27 000 or so. I also realized that trying to enable the Directory Cache setting may not be working as I chose Yes then rebooted the player only to find that it had returned to No.

Chronon:
There might be some problematic (from Rockbox's perspective) metadata on some of your files.  Can you get it to build properly with a subset of your files?
