[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1035885, member: 109222"] Hi. Think about "temporary" files, as example insert an SD card from a guests camera to quickly watch the latest pictures on it. Later the SD card will be taken away so those files can't ever be accessed again. But they stay in DB until eternity.... And it's a matter of speed. In MP1 or XBMC I plug the SD card and immediately I can watch the pictures. Thumbnails are generated on the fly while browsing and watching the pictures. In MP2 first I need to trigger the import, wait until all thumbnails are generated and finally (after half an hour or so as MP2 generate thumbs for all pictures on the card...) I can start watching the pictures. But in meantime my guests had left, taken their SD card with them so there is no further need for those pictures, database entries and thumbnails at all. All stuff that would stay (for some time at least) should be in DB, but all that is "one time only" is nothing that ever should touch the DB. It's just garbage and is letting DB size explode. To be honest, I rather would use MP1 or MP2 in this case. When it comes to pictures I stuck with XBMC. MP1 pictures plugin is terrible, MP2 pictures plugin is incomplete and the need to add all stuff to DB first is another point not to use it... But I really want to replace MP1 and XBMC completely by MP2 some day, at least on all Windows- Devices. [/QUOTE]
