So I grabbed R155 this morning, and double-clicked the .jar file. PulpTunes launced, asked my where my iTunes XML was, I pointed it out, and got the please wait little swirly thingamajig.

I'm up to 15 minutes. This is with a library of 9938 songs on my quad-core vista-64 box. Java's using 87,692 KB of RAM, and is barely registering against the CPU time.   

Is this normal initial-launch time on large libraries? I don't remember from when I had the full release running on the other box if I walked away to let it run overnight.

Thanks guys!

Edit: It appears to be progressing, I have temp files being written/removed in the same dir as my iTunes xml, there's also a sentinel file in there.

[alpeb]

I think there's a problem with the swirly thingamajig not disappearing , but the nice orange icon should be showing in your tray, and the server should be responding, no?

[hendrickx]

You know, I didn't look.  I'm firing it up again right now.

Edit: Been up a couple minutes. Swirly thing is doin' it's bit, no icon in systray, no response on port 15000.

What can I give you to help troubleshoot?

Edit again: You know, I've had iTuned running both times I tried it. Does that make a difference?

[alpeb]

It might be a bug then. Please try with the snapshot from March 8th coming out in a few hours. Then try firing up the app from the command-line, and let me know if there's any output in the console. It doesn't make a difference if iTunes is running or not.

[hendrickx]

looks like it's still there on r161.   

I just fired it up, only been running for a minute or so. I'll check on it in a bit and post an update.

Should my itunes XML be plain text? Mine just is gobblygook when I open it in notepad.

[alpeb]

If you go to Advanced Settings, what's the value of the field "iTunes XML Library file location" ?

Can't get there, app never starts.

For fun I tried the 1.0.1 release on this machine. While it ran fine under the old 32 bit machine, on this one it doesn't respond to the web.

using the release version (1.0.1) i see this in the log when I connect:

Maybe it's a 64-bit thing?

[alpeb]

Ok let's try first debugging the scenario of using the snapshot in your 32bit machine. Before launching from the command line, erase the directory where pulpTunes stores its temporary data so that we start up with a clean state. Not sure about vista, but in XP it's located at \Documents and Settings\YourName\.pulpTunes

Then please post here again the output you get. I'm trying to see what's the XML file that it's being read.

Thanks,
Alejandro

On vista, the folder is at \users\YourName\.pulpTunes

I've moved to r162

On XP/32 bit, fully booted. Removed the .pulpTunes directory, stopped non-essential services, 837500K memory available.
It never asked me for my XML file location...

For fun, I tried it again on Vista/64 bit, it does ask for the XML location. (C:\music\Library.xml -- it's 17.8 MB! I can zip it and put it somewhere for you to grab if you want to see it.)

Thanks again for the help!

[alpeb]

The error you get on XP/32 bit means java needs more memory. So you'd better start the program with something like this:

java -Xms120m -Xmx220m -jar PulpTunes.jar

If you still get the same error, try higher values for Xms and Xmx.

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,
Alejandro

[hendrickx]

That did it. Runs on 32 bit, the login stuff looks awesome!

on my 64 bit I need to dig around and find my proper itunes Library file.

[alpeb]

Cool. If you still have problems in vista 64bit please email me the xml file to alpeb at pulptunes.

Cheers,
Alejandro

[hendrickx]

HAH!  There were two xml files: Library.xml and library.xml.xml -- oddly enough remove either and iTunes breaks. I needed to use the .xml.xml one in pulpTunes, I had been using the other one.

I ran into the heap space issue, added the mem commands, and BOOM! running on 64 bit.  Sweet!

Now to setup some users and play with it...

[alpeb]

That's so odd... I only knew about the existence of "iTunes Music Library.xml" file, and its binary companion "iTunes Library.itl". Maybe you have changed that file name in the iTunes preferences?

About playing with the users... can't do anything yet except playing with the groups

Cheers.
