VB now raping my processor

[ShakesBar]

it does have an internet connection.

I will try that now.

It still has TV on it if you wanted to take a look, but let me check the classic view first and see if that helps.

Ok, Im available for the next 2hrs :-)

[ShakesBar]

Ok I've just tried, and its at lightening speed.

Would you be able to check to make sure I have all the settings correct?

None of the tracks have any art on them so it uses the art of the folders automatically but it seems to have a problem doing that?

Anyway, ill email you TV

[Steve]

Ok

[ShakesBar]

in regards to the website, its the best video website on the net available for the UK market. HUUGE back catalogue and always has the latest songs before they are released.. and best of all its all legal!

I pay £40 a month for 100 tracks so goes back to the artists as it should.

Just to add, i didn't actually try putting a track on... I have now and its doing it again.

I can only think my best option is to put artwork on each track and see what that does?

[Steve]

If you let me have a look I might be able to point you in the right direction and save you some time ?.

[ShakesBar]

i emailed you the bits n bobs you need about half hour ago thought u might be busy. \o/~

[Steve]

I was waiting for T V numbers, not got anything :-?

[ShakesBar]

just resent

[ShakesBar]

i notice the folders are taking their time to load.

Im going to change all of the video files quickly with cover art and see if that makes a difference.

I can do it now whilst your there if u like?

[ShakesBar]

Thanks for your help here.

Will re-assess the cover pic thing too and check if thats something that may have contributed. Will re organise the music (i can't wait cos it not going to take long with what i have planned for upload...) <not sarcasm - not>

Lets get this finished cos its taking up too much of my time at the moment and the wife is not pleased lol

Ok, I think we found the problem, the video files are quite large and there were too many of them in just 1 folder so the PC was struggling.

The fix is to separate the files into reasonable genres or subgenre folders of about 20 to 30 in each, this will make for good browsing of your music library :-)

I also think it would benefit me putting them through handbrake to shrink them. Thats a long winded task but it'll probably be worth it.

Thanks for your help, always appreciate it.

Handbrake reduces size by 33% and retains quality. Takes about 5 minutes per song, so will leave the laptop on overnight to get the ball rolling!
