Code:
"json.parse unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the json data"

IIRC there is a legit back-end scenario in the genLibrary() routine where the presence of non-UTF8 characters in the song file metadata can result in json parse failing and an empty libcache_.json file.

Since I see no such message template anywhere, it looks like the response of the json.parse method directly from JQuery. This actually denotes an error in the data.

Yes it's prolly empty JSON data being returned by MPD to the front end thats causing the error to be thrown by the JSON parse function. See below.

Code:
// MPD metadata engine

function engineMpd() {

    $.ajax({

        type: 'GET',

        url: 'engine-mpd.php?state=' + MPD.json['state'],

        async: true,

        cache: false,

        success: function(data) {

            debugLog('engineMpd(): success branch: data=(' + data + ')');

            // Always have valid json

            try {

                MPD.json = JSON.parse(data);

                //console.log(MPD.json);

            }

            catch (e) {

                MPD.json['error'] = e;

            }

Why is it empty? Thats what needs to be reproducible in order to possibly improve the error handling and messages.

This...

Code:
engine-mpd.php?state=' + MPD.json['state']

together with this...?

Code:
// Check for Worker startup complete

if ($result[0]['value'] == '0') {

    exit; // Worker startup is not finished yet');

}

Could be but to confirm there needs to be a recipe for reproducing the error that was mentioned earlier.

My infallible recipe for this error is to initiate a restart from Firefox on Windows. This produces 5 or 6 error popups with "json.parse unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the json data" before the player screen loads.

Restarting from Vivaldi on Windows or Chromium on Raspberry Pi OS doesn't do anything odd.

RE: Problems after APT Upgrade - Nutul - 02-03-2024

This might be expected, then... during a reboot, on a real Pi, the browser doesn't come up so early; here it seems the JS is there waiting / polling... and as soon as the PHP is ready to answer, it does so when the worker is not done yet... fantasizing here, but makes a lot of sense to me...

Of course, acknowledgement of the scenario in the backend could help in showing such errors only when indeed they might be real errors.

I can repro using FF on Mac.

RE: Problems after Update - jbaumann - 02-14-2024

(01-31-2024, 12:44 PM)Tim Curtis Wrote: The challenge is that we don't test the "broken by apt upgrade update" scenario to learn what exactly gets wrecked because our time is best spent supporting and troubleshooting the built-in updating mechanism.

Btw, the build-in updater can be run from SSH line via the command below and prints status to the terminal as it's working. The script it runs is located in our Updates repo.

Code:
sudo /var/www/util/system-updater.sh moode

To understand how the updater works examine the source code. The same would apply if you want investigate any error messages. or troubleshoot the apt upgrade breakage.

The easiest way to do this is to download the sources from the repo and then use an IDE to globally search the sources for things.

I looked through the source and found it very helpful in switching back between the different versions. Interestingly, downgrading everything to the old versions did result in a system that was still not fully functional, the interaction with CamillaDSP was problematic after the upgrade and then the downgrade.

Might it make sense to do apt-pinning of the versions that are tested for the respective version of Moode? Or at least mark them with apt-mark? Then the other parts of the system could be updated without problems…

I then did the full re-install, and using the backup functionality from the Web GUI this was extremely fast. One observation: It seems that the Restore did not restore the MPD option to write the Metadata to a file…

When running the upgraded versions of everything I had to upgrade the CamillaDSP config as well, but that was straightforward, even without any migration tool. But I had problems with volume control (I‘m using CamillaDSP for that as well), at the beginning of each song the volume was set back to the volume set at the start of the system. Maybe something to check in the upcoming release :-)

And thanks again for the fantastic work. I really love Moode and its functionality.

RE: Problems after APT Upgrade - bitlab - 02-14-2024

apt-mark is already used to protect the packages(see the list at https://github.com/moode-player/pkgbuild/blob/main/packages/moode-player/moode-apt-markt.conf).

In your first post you indicated that you forced the upgrade because the system was 'holding back' some packages... that where the packages protected with apt-mark :-(

The volume required unreleased software and configuration files part of the upcoming moode update.

Ah, ok, I overlooked that.

And yes, I forced the upgrade and I‘m fully aware that my approach to updating Linux systems is where the dragons are… :-)
