Is there a fix for slow searching on the DJ Prime 4
There’s been an issues on my DJ Prime 4 where it not only does slow searching its even slow when bring up my Playlist or history at time causing it to freeze as well
The conclusion I have reached is that the problem is not that the devices have poor performance, but rather that during the update or due to a software failure, some parameter changes to an erroneous value that makes the searches slower or the unit freeze. doing a factory reset returns all the parameters back to the correct values and the searches return to the expected speed
Would this be fixed by a software update? Like with 3.1? I have had extremely slow searches with my past several software versions… never done a factory reset though…
Hey folks - we’ve taken a look into this, and have crafted the following suggestion. Please try this out and let us know if this has any impact on search speeds:
Some users have reported slow search speeds on Engine OS devices when searching for tracks. While large track counts on a drive can worsen the search speed, some users have found that running a Library Optimization on Engine DJ improves the search speed. To do this, connect the drive to a computer, open Engine DJ, click the gear icon, go to the library tab, and click the “Run Cleanup” button under system.
Hi all!
Sharing my experience:
I started having slow search speed on the prime unit, specially after adding some hundreds of new music files.
Did a backup of the database, plugged in the USB drive I use with the prime unit, ran the DB Optimization and exported my music.
Search times have greatly reduced and all is working fine.
Firmware and EngineDJ software are on the latest 3.2.0 version
Prime 4 White Edition
Wow wow wow. Your solution helped me a lot, thanks for sharing. A playlist change took 45 seconds on my Prime 4. By optimizing there is no longer any waiting time. I like these kinds of solutions…
