Thread: load playlist on startup

can you try the LOADLIST command to load the playlist to see how/if it works right ?

This should not be happening -- as far as limitations go, RR should be able to handle at least a few million songs in the playlist (even if that's absurd).

Guino, I have some extra information that may help you:

I created a test playlist
I loaded 15,387 songs into it, When RR starts it behaves perfectly
the loading screens appear, then my skin appears, and a 4 second delay before the music starts with all of the info loaded properly. The time (of day) displays at the exact same moment as the music starts
I added songs to make the playlist have 20,217, same behavior only a 6 second delay between my skin and when music started
27,210 songs = 11 second delay, but proper behavior
37,663 songs= 18 second delay
44,619 songs = 23 second delay
49,344 songs = Time showed up immediately and music never started and info never properly loaded. The time appearing immediatly makes me think RR is making to effort to load the playlist

When i hit the music Icon on my skin the music began playing, but the player said 'one song' in the playlist. I could still skip through songs as though the whole playlist was there, but there was no song or album info/art

So RR can handle millions of songs, but there might be something wrong with the code somehwere around 44,619-49,344 songs in a single playlist

The only other thing I can think of is that one of my songs may be causing the problem

When I get more time I'll try to see if I can narrow the rang of songs down to pintpoint where the functionality goes berzerk.

Also is there anyway to reduce the delay while the playlist loads.

guino,
I'm being that guy

The guy who takes the free software that someone has spent 1000's of hours coding. Software that is so functional and great. That guy who still has to nitpick

Any developments on this, did you get a chance to look at my follow up post detailing exactly where the problem occurs

If you don't feel like looking into this, or are busy doing other stuff... then that makes sense

Great peice of software btw, it took a=me about 10 hours of just using RR to see how great it is, b/c i hated it at first. Had to switch b/c it looks as though the next version of FP is vaporware

I'm traveling till the 22nd.. won't look at anything till then.

I should have remembered, I saw that in another thread!!

IF IG4 is open and I rate a song, RR crashes



Still can't have a playlist with more than 45,000 songs

Just did a test here with winamp 2.95 here.. loaded about 100 thousand songs into the playlist (see pic) and had no issues handling it. Both on Standard lists and iLists. I would assume winamp 5.xx would work the same way...

My best guess is that something installed or one of your files is crashing either winamp or a plugin you may have installed in winamp (thus crashing winamp as well)..

Thanks, i never thought of it being a corrupted file or song....
I'll troubleshoot up that direction and report back.

Something installed, like a startup program somehow interferes?

Do you think the skin may have anything to do with it?
I'll also try another machine, see what it does?!
