General Discussion / Re: Slow Config...

« Last post by Barcrest on February 22, 2019, 01:32:11 PM »

I have a portable drive which has my music db running config from it is extremly slow. It freezes on certain songs.  The funny thing is if I run config it takes like 15+ minutes on first run.  When I run config again it runs super fast like 1 min and everytime after is fast also.  Any Ideas?

Second time is because it is cached in the drive cache.

It it is getting stuck on certain tracks you might be best running a check for corrupt files this usually will fix these kind of issues.

You should be able to specify which pages use animations and which ones don't. What are the issues with the animations on the genre screen?

You should be able to swipe on the track listing screen but there isn't any animation, has this broken?

I meant the continuos scroll on the swip settings.  I finnaly fount the magic number and it runs perfectly on the album page.  but I havre the filter page always shown and it look buggy.

I will take a look how that works on the genre page for you but you should be able to turn it off on that page.

Barry can you add a vertical swipe on the tracklisting page? (for the tracks ofcousre)  I just ask because I have seen costumers trying to swipe up and down the tracks.

Another thing I have my continuous scroll prefect but I have my skin with the genre page always shown and the animations doesnt look good.  Is ther a way I can turn it off for that page?

If you want some advice, look at it, and then ignore it.

I done this video about three years ago now and bugs have been fixed, but there are still bugs in the skin program I don't think have been ironed out

It took me a while before I figured things out, and it is best not to try and understand the manual, or learning from another skin. The best way to learn is starting from scratch and looking at what each section does. Save and then rinse and repeat.

A lot of skins were made using hacks in the code, rather than the program. I had quite a few hair tearing moments, which is why my forum motto is bug hunter and frustrated skinner, as I would start skinning and then find bugs.

You can create some great skins though once you get the hang of the basics.

It should be in your etouch directory. It is or was part of the install at one point.
