Clip Zip tediously slow track skip (large covers)

(1/3) > >>

urbanhusky:
Hi,

currently my Clip Zip is not useable as it freezes on every new track for a good couple of seconds. I'm playing from a FAT32 formatted 32GB class10 microSD.
Most folders have large covers since I copied a part of my music collection. As soon as the cover is loaded, the track starts playing fine.

Is there a way to turn this off or at least have rockbox try and load the cover in the background while playing music? I don't care that much about the cover but it would be nice to have. I'm not keen on running a search and replace (or Irfanview batch processing run with resizing) on the data - since I'd need to do this every time I copy music...

regards,
urbanhusky

It already is loaded in the background actually.  How large is the cover?   I wonder if you just run out of RAM trying to parse it. 

Crafty:
What theme are you using?

Try using the cabbieV2 theme.....just for testing.  That one uses the least ram.     

urbanhusky:
Even with cabbieV2 I get ~8 seconds per track loading time.
The cover.jpg is ~3MB, there are other covers in the same folder (back, booklet etc.) with less but still substantial sizes.

saratoga:
The size of the file is probably the issue.  If the art isn't already on the buffer, it has to be loaded and resized.  Probably what happens is that since the available RAM buffer is very small on the Zip, your art is never available in memory, so you have to wait while its fetched, decoded and rescaled.
