Hello,
I wanted to get your opinions of the little test I just performed regarding the durationinseconds, and creating a playlist to allow XBMC to retrieve them to populate the database. I am now a little anal with regards to this.
I am using Windows 7 with the MySql database.
I have, this past weekend, reset my contents to none and had XBMC rescrape all of the shows without any premade nfo files. I am awaiting until I am finished with my tests to export the individual nfo files.
I created a playlist with the following rule:
All episodes created after 1900
This in theory, gets me all of my episodes. It may have as it returned 28,584 items. I have 5 2TB drives, so it could be correct. At any rate, I opened up this playlist last night and let it go until a couple hours ago. It has been open for close to 24 hours. I watched it for a while when I got home today and did not see the duration increasing, so I shut it down.
I then created another playlist to list the episodes on one or two shows at a time. I tried this a number of times. When I opened the playlist, it was as if there was no duration to start with as the duration immediately started increasing until it stopped. Now this happened more often than not.
I figured maybe because it was a new playlist, the durations would need to be created, but here is the weird part.
When I opened my first playlist, all episodes after 1900, the duration that before was not increasing, had actually increased about the amount of the individual episode playlist. So whatever amount the individual episode playlist added up to, was added to my first playlist, thus increasing the total duration.
Now what does this mean? I don't really know. But it may appear as if creating one playlist to get the duration from all shows may not actually be working.
Can anyone else confirm this or am I not seeing things correctly?
Thanks,
Mark
