Since updating to 8.3.5 my library Tag and Album views are empty apart from the Stereo Test. The Folder view does show all the content of my USB drive however. I tried regenerating the library, but no change.

Any errors or oddness in the startup log?

The only oddness I can see is that in the folder view I have just DISCK__. I just have that one USB source attached. DISCK and DISCK_ do not exist.

You can try

ls /var/lib/mpd/music/ -l

and from here, also check to some extent inside the path of your external drive. Everything should be

?rwxrwxrwx or ?rwxr-xr-x

? being either -, l or d

Looks OK Al, thanks.

can you list the content of the USB at the level of DISCK (there should be at least 2 of the above look-alike folders?

and also tell in which folder your music files are (NOTE: not where you think they are, BUT WHERE THEY ACTUALLY are now)

Probably you'll have to remove some empty folders and rename one; but it could be also necessary to change some permissions, for this I am asking you the listing

FWIW: I had this issue too. It occurred when trying to access the usb atached drive on the rpi on a windows 10 computer in File Explorer. In File Explorer I tried to connect in "Network Connection". For reasons unclear an errormessage showed on the computer that the directory without underscore was not found anymore while still present in "/media". Instead a directory with the same name with an added underscore had been created. During another attemp a directory with yet another underscore added was created.
At the same time MoOde did not show any entries in the library as it was looking in the directory with the added underscore. Note that the original directory was also present in "/media".

I can not recreate this event anymore. I happened while running MoOde 8.3.3

I am sure there are some folders to delete, but cannot remember if they got created on the USB root, or in the /media folder on the Pi, or anywhere else.
The problem is that in this moment a folder named DISCK already exists at mount-point level, so the OS cannot make its own, and resorts to create a new one with an appended underscore...
Now, the reason the folder is there I cannot remember... but surely the (error?) occurred at least twice, as the second time the OS wanted to mount DISCK_, found it already existing, and created DISCK__...

The only oddness I can see is that in the folder view I have just DISCK__. I just have that one USB source attached. DISCK and DISCK_ do not exist.

Issue #1: The 169.254. IP address is a private address. This type of address is only assigned by Linux when there is no static address defined and the Router's DHCP service failed to deliver a legit address. This is typically because of some sort of network or Router issue.

Code:
20230823 235138 worker: eth0 adapter exists

Issue #2: Ghost USB mount folders. It's a relatively rare thing but I think it can occur when the drive is removed or the Pi shutdown/rebooted but Linux is not able to successfully unmount the drive and remove the mount folder. The next mount attempt for the drive sees the disk label folder already there and so it adds an underscore to create a new mount folder name. Similar to what @Nutul said.

Code:
20230823 235155 worker: DISCK

20230823 235155 worker: DISCK_

20230823 235155 worker: DISCK__

The cleanup for this is as follows:
1. Remove all USB storage drives
2 Open an SSH terminal
3 Run the command below after making sure there are no USB drives plugged in

Code:
# Force un-mount to be sure and ignore any errors returned by the commands

sudo umount -f /media/DISCK

sudo umount -f /media/DISCK_

sudo umount -f /media/DISCK__

# Remove the folders

sudo rmdir /media/DISCK

sudo rmdir /media/DISCK_

sudo rmdir /media/DISCK__

# There should be no folders listed under /media now

ls -l /media

Insert the USB drive and verify that /media contains the correct folder name i.e., it matches the drive label.

That cleanup sorted the problem. Thanks Tim and Al for your help.
