Official moOde 6.7.1 support thread

[jonners]

After regenerating the library the counts are unchanged. The track count of 38,638 and the total time of 2891 hours look right, but 1480 albums is obviously too low.
It's not a problem, since all my albums seem to be present in Folder view, which is the one I use.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
probably still some problem with Piano 2.1 + Kali. Moode reports without music:

hi, i have the same
problem

Reboot and then post the output from the cmd below

Code:

dmesg | grep allo

I'm wondering whether this could be similar to another driver load issue where the Katana driver fails to load on a Pi-4B during boot and has to be loaded manually in rc.local.

Try below and see if the Piano 2.1 driver loads

Code:

rmmod snd-allo-piano-dac-plus
rmmod snd_soc_audio_graph_card
modprobe snd_soc_audio_graph_card
modprobe snd-allo-piano-dac-plus

dmesg | grep allo

Output is this:/

I would contact Allo and report the dmesg output and kernel version 5.4.51, 32-bit.

@jonners

I can't explain your specific numbers without seeing the details of your entire collection, but there's nothing to guarantee the two counts will be the same.

Tim already gave it away with his comment "The 2617 figure represents the number of directories scanned by the Thumbnail generator. The 1480 figure listed in Tag view represents the number of albums that MPD was able to index."

The thumbnail generator is counting the number of file directories it found to be containing tracks. IIRC, MPD is counting the number of unique strings it found in the album field of the tags of the tracks as it indexed them.

In my own case, my library is a hodge-podge collection of tracks, some carefully tagged, some incorrectly or inconsistently tagged, some untagged, and all approximately sorted into directories. When scanned by moOde, I get the counts:

Music collection: 653 albums
Albums processed: 908

Perhaps we should be labeling the thumbnail generator report "Directories processed" or "Album directories processed". I think the former is more correct since it's perfectly possible to have directories containing tracks which come from no album.

Now that you've got my attention on this, though, I want to look more closely. It never bothered me that my counts were mismatched so I never checked that both counts were actually correct according to their respective algorithms. They should be, but ....

Regards,
Kent

Correct - "IIRC, MPD is counting the number of unique strings it found in the album field of the tags of the tracks as it indexed them"

I should prolly do something with that name.

[lurkio]

I would contact Allo and report the dmesg output and kernel version 5.4.51, 32-bit.

Yes piano2.1 not working in this or the previous version - I have reverted to 6.52 which mostly works tho it forgets the sub settings between reboots

Tim I really think a communication from you to Allo would carry more weight

[Tim Curtis]

I don't have a Piano 2.1 device so if there is a fix I'm not able to test and verify it for moOde, only someone that has the device can do that on my behalf.

Their support is really good so I'm sure they will help you out.

Hello, this one is for @Tim Curtis

I have tackled the problem by dumping moode-sqlite3.db in /var/local/www/db, changing 131072 to 262144 in the definition of max_output_buffer_size, and then regenerating the db from that. Now the new value "sticks" – but of course any new release would probably restore it. Could you please use the new larger value from now on? Yes, the problem would one day resurface for people with even larger libraries, but this is life...

My problem is different from the one @jonners  encountered – the system gives different numbers because in the mpd database it counts albums by name, I think, and the album cover search by directories.

[Tim Curtis]

As I've mentioned in other posts moOde is not designed for giant, multi-100,000 track collections. Important parts of moOde simply won't function well or at all for example Library Tag/Album views, Auto-shuffle. There will probably be other parts that break as well.

I can add to the TODO list though and possibly add it as an option to MPD Config at some point but there is also a buffer setting in PHP-FPM that involves data transfer size that I would need to investigate to see if it also would need to be part of such an option.

For my purposes, moOde works fine with my giant, multi-100,000 track collection -- as long as I set the system to use the 32-bit kernel while databasing the collection, and then switch to the 64-bit kernel when the database is complete. The only functions that seem broken are in fact the Tag and Album views, which just show the Stereo Test track on the SD card. But I never use those views -- I just select music to be played from the Folder view. For me, the Tag and Album views simply aren't "important parts of moOde."

I don't use the Auto-shuffle function, either, but I tested it and it seems to work fine with my collection.
