Tagcache ignores certain folders\Tagcache freezes\Tagcache messes navigation up
cal:
The tagcache thingie is driving me crazy. Basically I have 3 particular problems with tagcache with several builds, so I'm posting them all here, and I hope a kind soul helps me :'(
Problem #1 EDIT: SOLVED
I posted this problem in another fora/forum/forums ;)
--- Quote ---And I have noticed that tag cache doesn't add certain folders. For example MUSIC/BLUES-FOLK-INDIE-POSTROCK/J/Joni Mitchell is never added, while Josh Ritter at the same level, is. Both folders contain at least one folder with one album ripped @ ogg-192 and one orphan track in the Joni Mitchel folder, several ones in 'Josh Ritter'. The orphans are mp3s.
I also have another Joni Mitchell song in another folder, it's a multi-artist folder and that's the only Joni Mitchell song added.
I have more than 10K songs in my X5, so I don't know if that's the only folder that tag cache doesn't read. I think not, but I haven't found another missing folder.
I also have another problem with my playlists. Basically, even though a playlist has more than 10k tracks, I can only see 10k and I get the message: Playlist Buffer Full.
I don't know if both problems are related or not but I would like to know if anybody has experienced either one. (EDIT: SOLVED) BTW, I've tried several builds, including Max's latest two builds: same result, that folder is not read. Now I'm using 060904-0132.
PS. When I said I've tried several builds, I mean full installation, I delete the whole .rockbox folder and install the new build.

I am using build 060919-0047, no patches. Today I noticed that the folder MUSIC\ROCK-POP\S\The Shins is also ignored. It has one album ogg@192 and one mp3@192. The vorbis files were decoded with Mediamonkey and the mp3s were **coughs downloaded coughs**
I've tried deleting the tag cache files and start the whole process several times with several builds (patched and unpatched) and the same files are always ignored.
Problem #2
I think this same problem was just posted by another member but the thread got a bit off-topic so I'm posting it here too.
Tag cache freezes. From 'view tagcache info' the tagcache process freezes. I've noticed that it usually stops at a very low percentage or at 97%. I've tried several options, 'load to ram', etc. And of course when the updating of the tagcache freezes, I can't use ID browsing (I only use the search function of ID browsing).
Problem #3
Again, I tried several builds. Basically, (sometimes) when I initiate/update the tagcache, I can't navigate my files. For example, left-click doesn't work at all, or instead of going back one folder, goes all the way to the root folder.
-------
I don't know if those 3 problems are related but I'd like to know if there are more people experience any of these problems.
Llorean:
Wait, so how do you know it misses folders if it freezes before it completes?
cal:
That's why I said they're 2 different problems. Sometimes the tagcache process freezes (I know coz the percentage doesn't change at all) and I can't access the database, sometimes it freezes and I can access it even though the process has stopped. Sometimes it doesn't freeze at all, at least not that I know.
Like right now, tagcache says:
Initialized:Yes
DB Ready: Yes
RAM cache: Yes
RAM: 915008/948096 B
Progress: 97% (20137 entries) < i don't have 20k tracks
Commit step: 0
Commit delayed: No
And I CAN use ID browsing.
PS. When I say freeze, I mean the process freezes, not the player. Although sometimes it does, also when running tagcache.
PS2. I'm gonna try to move one of those folders to a different location and see what happens.
Llorean:
Try moving both of the folders that cause problems *off* the player, and then Initialize Tagcache and see if it gets to 100%. Or -1%. Or really anything different.
cal:
The problem is that I keep finding missing folders. I've found 3 so far. But I'll do that later, I moved one of those folders to my Music folder and updated the tagcache to see what happens.
