Delete partial files that got stuck caching

Open robbevp opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Due to bad internet connections, I sometimes have problems caching files. The file will be stuck downloading on a certain percentage causing problems in playback (either the song will repeat the first second or the player doesn't go to the next track).

Since the file is not fully cached, it is not possible to get rid the partial file with the delete option in the menu. Instead, I currently use two workarounds:

  • Either delete the cache for the whole album and cache it again (which is a waste of data usage)
  • Go to the specific file in the file browser and delete it there (which takes a lot of steps).

My proposed solution would be to either:

  • Have a "clean up cache" button somewhere in the settings of menu. This should delete all the files within the cache in the format trackname.partial.codec
  • Show the delete option for partial files in the menu

This is a huge issue IMHO that needs some resolution. Causes terrible skipping between tracks, especially during listening to audiobooks on mobile net.
