I received an email enquiry yesterday, regarding Twonky and large media libraries.
The user is having problems with the media scanning slowing down dramatically after about 130k files (which takes 3-5 hours to scan, which sounds a lot to me; my rebuild for 65k music tracks takes about 50 minutes). Thereafter, each additional 10k tracks take 12-24 hours, and getting slower.
My suspicion is that the database has got so large that it cannot be held in memory, and the device is therefore having to write to disk, with the resulting file thrashing. It may be worth looking at the size of the database in the twonkymedia folder (IIRC…), to see how big it is.
Has anyone else had any experience of large media libraries (200k+ files)?
