Title: Backup Library Size - more than tripled with V34.0.23
Post by: jack wallstreet on May 02, 2025, 10:43:32 am

With the increased resolution of thumbnails in V 34.0.23, my backup library size increased from 0.5 gb to 1.7 gb (size without thumbnails, the backup remained the same at 0.1 gb).  The thumbnail cache increased to 1.62 gb.  Is the change in the cache resolution so that theatre view looks better?   Anyway, I am thinking I should switch my regular backups from including thumbnails to not including them (and let them be rebuilt if needed).  My library has 69,000 files.  Not a complaint, just an observation.

I clicked on import with 34.0.23 and my back up library file reached 1.5 GB, and I have a Temp folder under appdata/roaming/jriver/mediacenter 34 with 26.6 GB.

I can report a similar experience.  Screenshot of a directory of my MC Library Backups is attached.

The automated ones, without thumbnails, are quite a bit smaller.  The most recent, full-thumbnail backup is quite a bit larger than the previous one (and my library, unfortunately, doesn't consist of 3x more recordings!).
