Meanwhile I have to "fallback" to logitech app :.-( ... this sync issue completely clogs my readynas duo (a nas which completely redefines the concept of slow nas) with mysql process to 97% during this sync. I don't understand if this sync issue is my mess with configuration or a new feature. If it's a new feature you should consider to give the option to disable it. Old version was fast enough for me even without cache. (i'm using 0.9.6.1 by the way) Thank you for your support!

Franco, I'm caching the Albums, Artists and Genres list. Loading these lists is relatively slow, therefore I'm caching them once and when you click on e.g. the Artists menu item afterwards, the list should appear immediately. The cache is re-synced automatically when the Library changes. Are you using the MusicFolder menu item only? Or are you browsing your library through Artists/Albums/Genres/Years as well? To switch a player to another server, please do this: On the PlayerServerScreen (left to the NowPlayingScreen), tap on the Edit Button in the top-left corner. Now you can either drag-and-drop the player to another server, or you select one or more players and click on the "Change Source" button in the bottom-right corner. Christian

Franco, Have you tried to let the sync running once (without doing something else in SqueezeCommander). Because SqueezeCommander will only sync once (this may take some minutes), but afterwards it is *much* faster than the old version. Christian

Thanks for your very fast reply, I will try that. I also have a sort of music "inbox" folder where I put new music to listen, than I will delete the music or move it in different folders. "play folder" mode is almost my only way to listen to the music. How will caching handle a behavior like this? Should I periodically rebuild the cache? Franco.

Franco, oh no. I just wrote you a pretty long comment and after it was finished, my browser crashed. Damn. :-( Well, here we go again: SqueezeCommander has 3 types of caching: 1.) Native Menu DB Caching, this covers the artists/albums/genres/newmusic lists only 2.) Native Menu File Caching, this covers the sub-menus in artists/albums/genres/musicfolder/years 3.) SqueezePlay Menu File Caching, this covers some special plugins, e.g. CustomBrowse 1.) Is done automatically on the first start and after a change in the Library (this is the "SqueezeCommander Sync") 2.+3.) Is only done on-demand (i.e. if you open the menu page), but will be cleared as well if a change in the Library is detected. For your setup: If you move songs from the "inbox" to another folder, SBS will probably notice the change and notify SqueezeCommander. SqueezeCommander will then clear the cache for 2.+3. and rebuild the cache for 1. automatically. If you enter a music folder in SqueezeCommander, and the changes are not reflected yet, you can either do a full "Clear Cache" (in the Settings) or you just reload the current menu page (MENU / Reload). Best regards, Christian

Thanks for your clarifications. After the first sync (6000+ items) now sometimes just resyncs a few hundreds. Apart from these resyncs the player is responsive again and folder navigation seems faster than before. But meanwhile I upgraded my SB server from 7.5.2 to 7.5.4 and so I have a new issue for you: now I'm unable so see covers art (I always put a 500x500 px folder.jpg file in each folder) No problems at all using web interface or logitech app. And a funny detail: while browsing folders via squeezecommander i see the cover thumsnails near each track but while playing I always get the gray disk default image. I tried to clear cache, to uninstall-reinstall squeezcommander and to manually delete .squeezecommander folder on SD. After reinstallaing I was requested to reenter mysqueezebox login as expected but it was not anymore requested the huge sync for thousands items, just a few one for hundreds. So I don't understand if I was able to completely clean any squeezebox data: I assumed I had to do this in order to solve the cover issue or maybe is related to 7.5.4 version? In release notes I read that something was improved for logitech app, maybe they broke something else? Thanks for your help.

Any hint about this "covers missing" issue? And one suggestion for a future improvement: if in a folder there is a single FLAC file with a CUE file, if would be great to list the contained tracks and not just the two files.

Just found the proper trac bug entry about cover issue, sorry for writing here...

Love the new update. But previously the function worked correctly that when I would receive/make phone call the music would be reduced. I have rechecked the settings 10 times. But this feature did not work after the update on my T-Mobile G2 (HTC Desire Z). Any advice would be greatly welcomed! It's an amazing app!

I'm happy to let you know that installing SB server version 7.6.1 solved the "cover missing" issue. At least for me. On my NAS upgrading means a complete uninstallation with db and indexes and configuration rebuilt from scratch: I suggest doing the same if just upgrading it's not enough. BTW, is the developer still with us?
