Separate the library files for audio, video and photos

[smitbret]

Can you please click on the Library and then in the Properties it should show you how many files you have - please let me know. I have roughly 35,000 files in a test database here and updates to the items are instant (no delays on closing the Properties dialog).

Number of Files 32,326
Total Duration 218.8 Days
Total File Size 1700.13 GB
Music Files 31,138
Video Files 1,188
Total Playlists 53,396
Total Folders 20

I just renamed a video file and literally timed it with my stopwatch: 19.48 seconds from the moment I clicked "Ok"
I renamed a second video file and changed the artwork: 18:41 seconds from the moment I Clicked "Ok"
Changed the name of a 3rd video file, this time with the Media Server turned off: 18.43 seconds

So, I deleted the database (moved it actually) and then reloaded all of the video files, creating a new library/database. Now it is instantaneous when I click "OK".

I reloaded the old database. Compacted it (thus saving 827kb). And it's back to taking about 20 seconds to update the database.





The database is about 862,049kb

Is the new database similar in size to the old one?

Perhaps try running Maintenance with the "Remove" option and see if that clean things up a bit.

If the new database is similar in size, but works well, would it be possible for you to upload the old database to www.megaupload.com or a similar site, so that we could check it here?

No, the new one is much smaller since it is just the video files. It's when I add the audio files, that the new database becomes much larger and slows things down.

I will upload the db to megaupload as soon as I get a chance and then e-mail you. Thanks again, Dennis.

Number of Files 49,972

I just selected one of my video files and literally timed it with my stopwatch: 3:18 minutes from the moment I clicked "Ok" until the cartwork change was effected in the library
I tried this again and the same time delay. It started out very fast but as I worked my way through my video library it just gets slower and slower and I am only about a quarter of the way through

any suggestions??

We have just released Mezzmo v2.6.1 and we have made some speed improvements, so please do try this new version. If no change, then please turn on logging in Mezzmo (see http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...nostic-logging). Restart Mezzmo and then repeat the steps you mention. When it finally completes after several minutes, exit Mezzmo and zip up the logs and send them to us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com. We'll see if we can determine the speed issue from the logs.

Thanks I will try this and let you know. Just a quick one - will I lose all the work already done or will it upgrade the system and then read the database

[Hashybot]

You wont lose the database, if you have already converted the database from 2.5 to 2.6 (which needs to rebuild because of the new database system) but I can tell you I did upgrade from 2.6 to 2.6.1 and it didn't need to redo the data base again.

Hope that helps.

[goldres]

I am currently on 2.5.0 and so will be going straight to 2.6.1 so do you think all will be Ok then of is there something I should do first

[goldres]

Hi Paul

I have just upgraded to 2.6.1 and the problem still exists. I have sent the log files to the address you gave me. Please can you let me know how to fix the problem

Many thanks

[Paul]

Thanks. We'll analyze the logs and respond shortly.
