[QUOTE=enitalp;900610]Yes i will.
I'm thinking since the begining off making a database for media, and update it at each launch of EniCar. Will be alble to have all the tag, but i'm still searching the best method to do it.

I do not know if this will help but It appears the code should be able to extraxt anything you want...including pics; which I am very interested in... most of my tunes are singles (not albums) and the album art is embedded.

great work...
will there be full flash support...??
cdr's latest skin freedom dont work... its flashed based...

tcghost

well, on startup, mostly... it takes around half a minute to load.

CdRsKuLL

not a problem at all.. :-) watching your work... will be doing some tests later on just how fast flash can be with our FE :-)

CdR

Yes flash will be fully supported. For the instant i only support command comming from flash, i don't send anything to flash (skinner will understand).
Hope to do that soon.


half a minute ? i think you are the winner of the slowest skin loading
Ok i cheat a little as i have two Raptor 10000tr/min in raid. but on mc2.0 skin i'm at 4/5 secs not 30 !

I hope flash will be fast. For the instant i only take command from flash and don' t send any label to it. soon. And i need to get ride of a stupid white flashing things when i hide the flash control when changing page . Windows can be stupid sometimes.
When you hide a CWnd or move it, it does it immediatly, and paint a white square at the position of the window. Made some test with two screen (i have a lilliput touchscreen as my secondary display on my work computer), so i'm able to step by step the process without other window interfering in EniCar window. And instead of sending a paint message windows directly paint white square. So i need to deferred the window/move close myself. during the paint.

tcghost

I was running it on my dual core laptop with 1 gb of ram too... :-/

does it read through the music and video directories at startup? cause I have more than 100 gb of files in those directories

MP3Car.com

Yes at startup i parse the media directory to memorize the directory tree. No operation on the file.

For me the execution of this part of code is less than 0.1s, and i'm in slow debug mode.

for mp3 dir = 5.5go 660 files
video dir = 4.6go 115 files.
not that much file but it's very fast. no reason to be slow.

it must be the skin loading. In the next version i will add a splash screen with operation in progress before showing the menu. and i will log all in a log file. That way i could see the crashing problem, and the speed problem at loading.

enitalp

Ok, i've made a patch to the version 0.02
added some log info before the main menu showing. So i could check the slow problem.
I don't want to let this problem here, peharps there is a huge problem and it must be resolve now.

this is the new version of the version 0.02. new exe to replace the old one.
After reaching the main page you should have a enicar.log in the enicar directory. post me the result.

ok, here's mine... I guess I was right about the large music db... perhaps it's better to cache all the stuff to a db (kinda like xbmc :P ) or at least do it in a separate thread... or both...

my music folder is 79.2 GB. 14,247 files in 1,160 folders

There must be a bug somewhere.

0.000 Start cache subdir mp3 <=== this is the findfirst findnext, very simple thing
21.500 End cache subdir mp3

24.360 Start sort mp3 <=== this is the quicksort to sort by alphabetical order & by kind the file i found previously
24.360 End sort mp3

The quicksort takes no time to parse the thousand of file. and it's the heaviest code.

Could you give the the complete path to your mp3 lowest directory.
if the path is more than 255 character then i blow up my stack.

thanks.

well, I just changed MUSIC_DIR to a directory with only a couple of albums and it started up in 5 seconds. All of this is on a network drive, which I'm sure doesn't help as well...

I still don't think it's a good idea to parse the whole music/videos folders every time at startup

enitalp

Ok i think i found the bug. This version should be much faster. (i change the version 0.02 again).

enitalp

Centrafuse works with a pre generated media database. and i don't like it.
My first idea was to save the database, and check at startup if any change was done, to update my database. But checking the change take the same time as construct the database . I don't like the idea of pressing a button somewhere to create the database like centrafuse. i have to found a middle between those two solution.
