amarok updating collection all the time

[bootdoc]

amarok will not stop updating my music collection. every couple of minutes it starts over again.

Re: amarok updating collection all the time

I've had that same impression before, but usually it's just that it has not ever finished with my entire collection. Just let it run, and see if it eventually finishes.

p.s. I tried Enlightenment too (e-live) -- it was pretty cool!

Re: amarok updating collection all the time

Well, it does finish and then starts over again, finishes and starts over... It also updates at every start. Another thing that is rather odd. When I disconnect one usb hdd (the one that amarok update loops) and connect a different one, amarok update stalls at 100%. I think I am going to switch to JUK. It seems to work better.

Hmmmm ... a USB hard drive? I wonder if the USB connection makes it re-start (thinks it is a new drive, maybe every time it is connected)?

Is that Amarok KDE4? I admit I'm having some "adjustment anxiety" getting used to the new one. I threw in the towel and used alsaplayer the other day, just to have a simple process. :P

Re: amarok updating collection all the time

I used to get problems with this and tried using the mysql option which did not work at all for me. I have a very large collection which did take ages to load up but more recently it seems to have stopped taking long.

I did find this bug report using google at the time from back in May which shone some light on it
