[PROBLEM] 4.3 Update, no album covers for separate file (folder.jpg, etc.)

[tuan2195]

Hi, I just updated my Moode installation to the 4.3 OTA and now no album covers are showing. My album covers are all separate files named "Folder.jpg" in each of the album's folder.

A few observations:
- For the few files that I have embedded cover art, they work fine. So this problem is isolated to the separate covers (Folder.jpg, Cover.jpg, etc.)
- Moode can still generate the album cover cache fine, however when I click on it the album itself and play it, the cover is not shown.
- I cannot set the new cover backdrop setting in the customization. The box appears blank, and changing it to "Yes" or "No" does nothing.
- Could this be related to the new - UPD: Eliminate unnecessary cover image reloads feature?

The symptom "I cannot set the new cover backdrop setting in the customization" suggests stale Browser cache.

My experience is that Browsers don't readily expire cached modal html i.e. the popup screens like Customize. Sometimes after an in-place update I've had to refresh the Browser while the popup screen is displayed :-0

Let me know how that goes :-)

That did not help, I've tried restarting my PC and phone and using different devices and clearing the cache as well. None of that helped. I also feel like I am stuck in an update loop, after I boot up for a while moodelog would say:

And after a reboot it would come back.

Quick update, now even the albums with embedded cover arts no longer work...

Does the log timestamp 20181022 205448 correspond to the time that u most recently rebooted?

If not then it would indicate that worker.php has crashed for some reason which is highly abnormal.

You could try running the cmd below and see of there are any errors

sudo ./srestart.sh

The timestamps correspond to a few minutes after I restart. I just restarted again and after a bit it's showing:
20181022 205743 updater: ** Step 2-7: Binary updates
20181022 205743 updater: ** Step 3-7: Code and Config updates

...

I've tried running sudo ./srestart.sh and there doesn't seem to be any error (or output).

[tuan2195]

Update, after clearing the cache from my desktop browser the option shows up. Must mean the clear cache button on my mobile browser is not doing what it's supposed to do. The update loop and the missing covers problem still persist, however.

[Tim Curtis]

Very odd.

moOde's startup process does not invoke the Updater. It's only invoked by user clicking on INSTALL from the System config screen.

Maybe try opening System config screen and turn on Debug logging. Then post the output in a code box and I'll have a look.

This is the log I get right after booting moode. I also see that there are references to coverart.php, but I'm not sure if it's doing what it's supposed to do.
