HVSC SID Playtime Database ?
I am currently coding something Sid related Tool for PC and was wondering if there exists a Database (csv,xml,or whatever) that contains the default Sid Subtune Playtimes.
At the Moment i use Siddiag to recieve the Sidtimes, but this very annoying and time intense. If there would be a DB-File where i could search with the MD5 of the Sid that would speed up Time detecting a lot.
Anyone knows about the existance of this or something simmilar ? |

I just checked the md5 hashes,
e.g.
; /MUSICIANS/H/Hubbard_Rob/Commando.sid
a08c08aa1c74990c7d753e8c1d2f023e=3:57 1:02 0:06(G) 0:02(G) 0:01(G) 0:01(G)
i tried different MD5 Tools and always get
c4c5ff8cfefdf683c50e66775cfac1ee
Is the md5 calculated in the songlengths.txt without the Sidheader probably ? |

It is calculated by actually playing it, not by summing the file bytes, else it would change even by fixing the title field, or replacing it with a relocated version.
I'll let Wilfred explain _how_ if he wishes. Maybe it's time to update Songlengths.faq with some more infos. |

Hmmm sad, so there is no real easy or fast way to detect the Sidlength from songlenths.txt with just creating a md5 hash. |

uh - the md5 is of course calculated from the binary and not "by playing it". see here: https://tnsp.org/hg/sidinfo/file/263cd25749a1/sidlib.c |

hmm ok, I was probably thinking on the hashes in sidknown's database.txt |

It might be a good idea to have playing md5 as default , but beeing able to switch to file (bytes) md5 in siddiag. That would help me a lot right now. |

There's a lot of discussion about calculating the MD5 in this thread (at the bottom): Track Times in SID files? |

I already saw that thread, and also understand the complains about md5 beeing more acurate when Playing a Sid.
But for my current Project i need the md5 created on the Filecontent (summing Bytes), which is completely different. I just wanted that because i didnt want to start siddiag all the time for each single Sid i want to have in my Database.
Nevermind, i have created the md5 Database with the Layout i wanted myself, instead of complaining it isnt there, so i dont have to lick anybodys Balls or wait Days/Weeks until it`s done (if ever)
And for the ones that are not found due better or older Rips, Header Change or whatever i index them with siddiag on runtime.
But thanks for guiding into the right Direction :-) |
