Update stuck in "File info" stage

[Martin Tomsa]

I have about 30 gigabytes of music, uplink to netjukebox environment is about 1 megabyte per second.

When I do an Update of my library, it gets stuck in "File info" stage forever. How do I find out what is going on there?

I'm not sure if it is caused by volume of my library. I can inspect logs of my webserver, MySQL and whatever else, but before that - what is being done in "File info" stage? Does netjukebox inspect every single bit of my library?

Are there any logs of update process?

Thank you for any help.

Update:

I tried running `php -f update.php` manually and it gave me this nice output:

Code: Select all

Anyway, I still wonder how to find out what went wrong when I updated the library from user interface.

Can anyone provide any details on update process internals, please?

I come back to this in the weekend!

Sorry for the late response. The first update will always take a long time! This is because all the images will be converted to a lower resolution for the web interface. After that the getID3 library needs to retrieve/calculate the playtime, encoder, bitrate, etc. See screenshot below. These information is stored together with an track_id and filemodificationtime so that on the next run only the changed files need to be updated.

With my setup (27113 tracks) I have done an new database installation and the first update took: 12 minutes and 19 seconds
The second run: 11 seconds

I think you need to be patient the first update.
