#6 Compiling shares forever...
I moved over from Sputnix, as it quit working for no apparent
reason the developer can tell me. I have up & downloaded about
3,000 songs @ Audio Galaxy.
I selected my mp3 folder for sharing when I set up OpenAG X, and
the status tells me its "Compiling shares...". Its been doing this for
hours & won't let me do anything. The only way I can get anything
to download is to turn off sharing to my main library.
Also, when I log on with OpenAG X, it lets me download, but only
one @ a time.
2 questions:
1. How do I get the program to recognize that I have uploaded over
25 songs so I can get simultanous down/uploads?
2. How can I get it to complete the compiling of the shares so it
can get back to doing what it does best, up & downloading???
Thank you in advance for any help. Mac G4, OSX 10.1.4, 867 ram.

I appreciate the feedback Chris.
Unfortunately, at this time, I am basically the only developer working on
OpenAG, and for the last couple weeks I have taken a "break" so to say,
from programming on OpenAG, to explore other interests...
Anyway, this weekend, I hit the keyboard again, and to my surprise, so
did one of my other developers. Not that that means that things will pick
up much... but since you're so persistent, I would be happy to at least
help you get going again. There have been some exciting improvements
in the OpenAG source in the last 3 days... nothing to directly affect your
questions, but I can imagine that you will see a new stable version of
OpenAG out by the end of June, sporting some cool things like v609W
support... and account creation, etc.
I doubt you care too much about features at this point... getting on to
your issue.
But first... a response to teh bug reporting system.
Yes, I get a copy of every report you submit. In my mailbox. And yes.. I
ignored it... along with the other 100 messages sitting in my OpenAG
inbox. They get attacked about once every week... which probably
means tonight... more often when I'm spending more time developing...
The reason why I ask people to submit requests on the web is so that
they can be viewed by MANY more developers. Your bug alone has
probably been looked at by at least 10 people... admitadly, it takes more
like 100 before it ever gets answered, but whatever. Bugs are MUCH
better documented when they are on the web, adn not just in my inbox.
I'm working on getting some "canned responses" posted up there to
make answering easier... and working on turn around time. You must
remember however, OpenAG is a free project, something I do in my
spare time... I don't make any money from it... besides a few donations
every once and a while... I have to spend time doing real work as well.
Anyway, I thank you again for your comments.
Here is my first attack at your report:

Compiling shares forever...
I moved over from Sputnix, as it quit working for no apparent
reason the developer can tell me. I have up & downloaded about
3,000 songs @ Audio Galaxy.
I selected my mp3 folder for sharing when I set up OpenAG X, and
the status tells me its "Compiling shares...". Its been doing this for
hours & hours & hours & hours, & it won't let me do anything. The only
way I can get anything
to download is to turn off sharing to my main mp3 library. While I have
almost 9,000 songs, after 24 hours, it should compile all the sharing,
no???
WHY IS THAT???
compiling should take no more than about 60-300 seconds. I've had
reports of it tested with over 10,000 shares.
I would have to know a little more about how these shares are
organized? Are they in a single folder? multiple? are they stored
locally? on a network drive? how many folders deap
Also, when I log on with OpenAG X, it lets me download, but only
one @ a time.
This is with, or without sharing turned on? Audiogalaxy requires that you
share 25 songs (and that it aknowledges those songs) before allowing
you to download more than one at a time.
2 questions:
1. How do I get the program to recognize that I have uploaded over
25 songs so I can get simultanous down/uploads?
You actually don't upload songs... but rather just share them... If you
have 25 songs shared, which are recognized by audiogalaxy (they will
get a number other than -1 or 1 next to thier name in the shares
database window), then you are allowed to download more than one at a
time.
2. How can I get it to complete the compiling of the shares so it
can get back to doing what it does best, up & downloading???
That is a bigger problem. It shouldn't take that much time at all.
Is there anyway you could send me a console log of OpenAG's
activities?
Launch the program /Applications/Utilities/Console.app
Then launch OpenAG.
Copy the text that OpenAG wrote to the log into an email or a file...and
send it to me.
Thank you in advance for any help. Mac G4, OSX 10.1.4, 867 ram. If you
can fix the bugs, I will pay for the upgrade. I upgraded to LimewirePro,
but their system sucks, downloads take forever & they dont have as
good a selection as audio galaxy.
I'm happy to help. (and happy to accept donations ;-)
If you can send me a console log, we can work further from there.
If that doesnt' help, I will send you a copy with more debugging
information turned on, and we can try that.
Best of luck.
