x5 tag cache nightmare

<< < (4/5) > >>

Yotto:
I wiped my drive completely, reinstalled the latest build of Rockbox (It would be Friday night's build) and copied the the music back several letters at a time (I have my artists within folders of the letter their name starts with, lest I have too many directories to display in my root music folder).

0 problems.  I now have a working tagcache installation.

the_house:
Update:  mp3's with long filenames do seem to be the culprits.  It's still true that the offending files do not cause a failure 100% of the time, but shortening the filenames seems to make the problem go away (so far.  I still haven't found all the offending files in my entire collection).  Also, it's still true that I successfully cached all of these mp3s at some time in the past on my Archos, so rockbox does seem to be a bit more temperamental either now compared to then, or on the X5 compared to the jukebox recorder.

wonderfibre:
what's the easiest way then to find files on my computer which are longer than 256 (or whatever) characters?

Sherv:
Hmm, I'm still having issues with Tagcache crapping out on my AJBR V2 and I have files with ultra long names (gotta love the Red Sparowes for that). What's the limit for tagcache, I'd love to mess around and see if that fixes it...

Yotto:
Is it 256 with full path, or 256 just for the filename?

If filename, in dos:

dir /s | sort /+275
or
dir /s | sort /+275|more

will show you the files.  They'll be at the very top (hence the |more to stop it at the beginning) or very bottom (so you want to see the end, no |more).  It won't give the path, but you can then search out the specific files with another dir /s for their exact names.

(I'm guessing on the number, it's 256 plus the offset, which IIRC is 20, so I subtracted one to be on the safe side)

If it's full path,

attrib /s |sort /+256
or
attrib /s |sort /+256|more

(same as above, only this time no offset and you'll know the full path)
