Question Mochi Import

[Ozzy47]

Is it just me or is the Mochi import, with leaderboards selected, 100 per page, taking alot longer than before?

Also it is using alot of server resources, I don't know what is was before cause it went fast and I never looked. My server load went over 3.50

And twice while jumping pages, I got a ISE to.
Warning: require_once(/home/myfriend/public_html/dbtech/vbarcade/systems/.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/myfriend/public_html/stayoutofhere/arcade_admin.php on line 1279 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/myfriend/public_html/dbtech/vbarcade/systems/.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/myfriend/public_html/stayoutofhere/arcade_admin.php on line 1279

If I select 100 per page with no tags the page load almost instantly, so fast I can not get it to show up in Process Manager.

It seems anytime you select a tag to get the games from this happens. Really frustrating, as it worked flawlessly before.

Unfortunately, adding browsing features to the feed import types has the side effect of making the feeds take longer.

The reason is that the feeds only support a subset of those browsing features natively (making them fast). The rest, I need to apply manually (making them slow).

Mochi supports these natively: category, rating, author, tag. I have to apply these manually: search, leaderboards, featured, already installed

Because I have no way to tell mochi to narrow games via freeform, already installed, etc, what I have to do is grab what is available, pick out what applied, throw away the rest, and grab the next set of games, and repeat until I've either gotten the perpage amount you chose or the feed runs out of games.

So, having a lot of the manual browsing features active will result in less actual games being kept from the native search, causing it to download more and more sets, causing longer lag. I know it kind of sucks, but so do most of these game feeds, and I dont have the clout to get them changed to anything nicer.

I suspect for you personally, ozzy, its pretty torture because youve downloaded thousands of mochi games, so its having a hard time finding stuff you HAVENT installed, and its searching a lot of pages to get them.

Ok but it seems like it was recently that this started, maybe after the edits to get the games at the top under Discovered Games, maybe it has to due with the Already Imported being separate now.

 

[Darkwaltz4]

Thats exactly what I just said (although i edited that on to my post)

 

[Ozzy47]

Is their a simple way I can turn off the Already Imported option in there so I can test it, I believe that is the issue as it has to check against my DB of 13,000 + Mochi games already installed.

 

[Darkwaltz4]

Nope, but that is most definitely your issue.

Ok cool, I hope this won't affect to many users, most people may not install as many games as I have.
