Slow response from USB HDD - LeighP - 09-23-2022
Hiya
(Original issue solved)
Seems my Seagate 2Tb HDD is either very slow despite perfect performance with the previous release of moode or I've got an issue somewhere. Nothing under the bonnet has been tweaked.
Any thoughts?

What do you mean by "slow"?
RE: Slow response from USB HDD - LeighP - 09-24-2022
I click on USB and it takes an age to do anything.
Is there a quick way to reset everything so I can remove my USB and then re-add them to see what the system does?
Considering switching over to 2 x 512Gb USB sticks once I can afford.

You have to first isolate the issue because slowness could be due to a slow network, slow SD Card or slow etc.
Open an SSH terminal and list the directory of the the USB drive. It should be almost instant.
Code:
# Shows the DRIVE_LABEL
ls /media
# List the directory
ls /media/DRIVE_LABELTo "reset" the MPD database:
1. Unplug the USB drive then Menu, Update library
2. Plug drive back in then Menu, Update library

Seems my Pi4 is the issue. Going to try another and see what happens.

Quite a delay between my last posting and this update:
I dumped my external HDD and shared my music collection between 2 x 512Gb Sandisk Ultra Fit. Updated to the latest moode, added the USBs, let the library update - and all is working perfectly. Actually better than I expected as it's literally click and moode is playing instantly. Same going up and down the library listings - instant, no delays....! So pleased.
