Very slow when adding new albums

dustin.wu · October 2, 2021, 3:14am

I have 60k+ songs.
I found it start to be very difficult for the RS201 to recognize the new album I copied into the SSD.
When I copied a new Album into SSD it should start to rescan the database and show the new Album in a short period of time.
But its getting slow (starts from 30+ songs), it now takes more than 20hrs to rescan the new database and shows the new album.
I find it easier to simply delete the database, and rebuild the whole database. It only takes about 3 hours if I do this in order for the RS201 to recognize the new Album.

Maybe it’s a bug? or maybe its the way you build your database.
I just would like to point out there is an issue over here.

You’re right, initializing database is definitely far too slow, even on my RS250. And I have only 6k of tracks. The worse thing is, that after initializing is “done” (the display is ended) it is not really finished and takes additional hours.

Added: I am asking why the RS250 in standby does not scan automatically for new music e.g. every hour like shown in the App, but only manually. This really seems to be a bug, right?

For the auto/manual scan of the new song/album, I understand.
It all depends on the logic they design for the users.
Scan the songs Automatically? Manually? Scan the New song only? or the whole disk? Always a lot of issues to consider.
What I don’t understand is even if we have to scan the database Manually with the whole database/disk, it doesn’t make sense we do it manually with more than 20 hrs, and instead if we clean the delete , clean the database and rebuild with scanning the whole database we only need 2-3 hrs.
Apparently something wrong in the algorithms.

…clean the database and rebuild with scanning the whole database we only need 2-3 hrs …

What by the way causes a switch off of the device and looses tethering settings and bluetooth connection to the remote control as well.

Hello @Wideglide and @dustin.wu ,

Sorry to make you feel uncomfortable. Among the files you want to scan, do you have a lot of wav files?

dustin.wu · October 5, 2021, 2:19pm

For me I would say less then 1%

Wideglide · October 5, 2021, 3:00pm

@ROSELOA Only 25 files (1,1 GB) from 6.000 files (70 GB) here.

Asking again: RS250 does not scan database by itself. I have to start this manually all time after adding files to the SSD and it takes some hours to complete. Why does the scan process not start automatically?

ROSELOA · October 18, 2021, 6:01am

ROSE device do not scan by itself. ROSE device shows a pop-up about whether to scan or not when…

A new storage is connected
You boot the RS250 and any storage is connected.

Really sad. Planned it on future updates?

DB Re-Scan ist really painful slowly. Data stored on NAS (QNAP) connected over smb:

Re-Scan, more then 1 Sec. per Track:

Deleted Share and added again. DB-Scan much faster, over 10 Tracks in 1 Sec.:

Re-Scan, when added new Albums, is currently not useful

I agree that something has to be done with the rescan. I have 270000 songs and with your calculation if I add a song and do a rescan it will take me 75 hours.

dustin.wu · October 21, 2021, 11:31pm

As I suggested, I find it sooner if we delete the database and rescan/build the entire database again.
Yesterday I added some albums and rescaned with 82000 songs it took me 2-3 hrs. I know if I don’t delete/rebuild the database it would take more than 20 hrs to finish the scanning ( not by calculation but in real case).

Hope that helps.
