What is the maximum of musicfiles which is possible to add to the music database?
My system stops responding after loading around 17000 MP3's (ok ok .. I know that is a lot... maybe I should just delete some files :))

    there's no limit at all.
    i'm runnning with nearly 30.000
    there are some users which have 100k.

    When you say "stops responding after loading ...." you're talking about the import step?
    please prodive some logs. Configuration.log and mediaportal.log)

    6900/17200

    Yes you are right. It is during the import.
    In the mean time I updated to 2.3.0 RC1

    Actually the system hangup happens at point 6900 out of 17200

    In the logging I only find some warnings:

    2007-08-06 23:43:18.203125 [Debug][Config Main]: Could not extract Image: Parameter is not valid.
    2007-08-06 23:43:18.203125 [Warn.][Config Main]: TagReader: Image probably corrupted: D:\Music\Part1\_Populair Jazz\Katie Melua\Katie Melua - The Closest Thing To Crazy.mp3

    I don't get it.

    could be that there's a corrupted file, which causes tagreader to read until the end.
    but this should just slow down the system and not cause it to hang.
    The error above just says, that there's a picture inside a file, which couldn't be extracted. shouldn't be the cause of the problem.
    Have a look in the MusicDatabase found in the databases dir and see, which song was the last one added.
    use the SQListeBrowser found in the data dir. open the music db and list the Songs table.
    the song which would be read after the the last one in the table is maybe corrrupted.
    move it out the share and give it a try.

    As a test, you could also try just temporarily removing the Katie Melua song and seeing if that solves it. Looking at the log it seems like that would be the obvious choice.

    Please check the wiki. I never take online sources but perform offline imports. You can use external tools for that and change all data including poster. Also the import speed is much faster + the local data are kept forever, even MP2 is removed. To overwrite only some movies you need to remove them once from the share, place an...

    I have looked at your log files, but as usual they are unintelligible gobbledegook. (I am sure that the original developers who wrote that code know what the log entries mean, but those developers have long since retired from the MP team.) I regret to say that I think that you will have to use the "brute force" method to track down...

    Installing other software, especially MP1, which is partly sharing Tv service with MP2, can make everything worse. Please upload your debug log files, if you want to solve the issue.
