Greetings & Salutations
Just updated from 2.6.5 and the Popcorn Hour A-100/110 profile that used to work fine on my devices (eGreat m34a & actual A110 units) now truncates the available folders to 1 screen of about 10 or 11 folders. When going to the regular Popcorn Hour profile, all 20 of my folders appear.
I also have Dish Hopper/Joey units which DID recognize under 2.6.5 automatically, but now require manual setting. Can't say about other devices I have at the moment....
I tried database mgmt, etc etc to no avail, so I uninstalled Mezzmo and installed a fresh 2.7.1.0 version. Same issue.... A-100/110 truncated, regular Popcorn Hour shows all.
Due to the completely fresh install, thumbnails started generating. I turned them off for all video files, which is all I host with Mezzmo.... no effect at all. Turned off all Metadata settings, again, no effect.
Way back when, I thought Dennis was going to implement a radio button or checkbox that COMPLETELY turns of ALL thumbnails, regardless of what media type, but I cannot find that option anywhere. My server is now generating 22,283 video thumbnails.
I don't use Mezzmo for music at all because of the sheer amount of music files I have would result in a similar issue of thumbnails.... and the resulting lag of reading the .db when loading music folders.
I can understand some users wanting the thumbnails for smaller collections, but for those of us with large collections it is an unnecessary task and/or load when perusing folders. As I write this, my thumbnail generation is at 13,280 left.... it's been running for over 2 hours. This is on a Dell Poweredge with Dual Quadcore XEON's and 32GB of RAM. I shudder to think what time this would take on a regular PC.
So, how about that "Master Thumbnail Button".... can I get a 2nd or 3rd or more votes out there....
Thanks for your continuing efforts.....
