status of NeurosDBM

[rocketman768]

So, I decided to add a feature to NDBM, but I am unfamiliar with creating forks in development with CVS and all. I have so far added an "Import Playlist" feature to NDBM that acts just like the one in NSM, which was one of the most requested features, but I am unsure of how to get it to the rest of the world. Is anyone even alive on this project and do people care?

I'm not on the project but I care. NDBM seems to keep freezing up on me when I rebuild the database. It successfully copies the DB but unforutnately doesn't include any old playlists so I would have to recreate them everytime. I'm not real interested in doing that everytime but if they could be imported then I could just synchronize afterwards and be good to go.

I am a developer on the NDBM project.  Unfortunately, since I am not an admin, I can not relese code.  I can, however, check code in.

I have been wanting to work on an import playlist function, but haven't had the time.

As for restoring playlists on DB rebuilds, you need to make sure you have the option selected to save playlists.
Options > Database > Save Playlists

This will create a playlists on your Neuros under /ndbm/playlists/.  When doign a rebuild, it will then read these in and recreate them in the neuros database.  I have been doing this for at least a year and have had no problems.  In fact, I only use NDBM for doing rebuilds.

I do the same thing. Everytime I add tracks I just do a rebuild. The problem is that I now have about 11,795 tracks and when I do a rebuild it freezes when during the "Writing Database" phase. I have to manually close that dialog box. The database is functional and I can play all tracks (as far as I know), it just doesn't load the playlist back in.

FYI - I usually delete the woid_db directory prior to rebuild so I don't have to wait for NDBM to read the database, it automatically starts the rebuild after checking for updates. I have tried it both ways (with and without the directory) and it still freezes.

When I move tracks off my Neuros and bring the track count to just over 11,000 then I have no problems rebuilding and it's re-creates the playlists without issue.

To me it seems like something can't handle the number of tracks (be it the database or NDBM itself)....just my thoughts.

It certainly sounds like a track number issue.  I have about 8500 tracks and have not seen this problem.  I'll have to take a look at this, but it probably won't be until next week.
