Folks,

I'm working on a remote control application that needs to rebuild its database whenever new tunes or playlists have been added to the empeg or have been modified. How can I find out the time when this happened? Right now, I'm scanning the timestamp of all the fids in the drives and using the latest one found, but I wonder if there is a more direct way of finding this out. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Look at /empeg/var/database or /empeg/var/database3. It would be updated everytime something gets uploaded or changed.

Thanks! That's definitely easier than looking over all the fids.

Are the structure of the tags, database, and playlists files in /empeg/var documented somewhere?

Not that I know of, but jEmplode's source contains code for building them.

Yes, there was a BBS posting somewhere that described their rather simple formats.
