How to make consume mode work?
#3
Hi Tim,

yes I think the problem correlates with the size of my different sources.

If I only select the tracks on my USB-stick (ca. 1000 files) with ashuffle filter set to "GENRE chill" everything works fine.
With my HDD connected to the Raspi (10.000 files consistently tagged with "GENRE mix") ashuffle obviously runs out of memory.

So I think there is no way to make this work with my NAS collection (+50.000 files with multiple tags  Big Grin ) because of these limitations.
Interresting:  I have just a hand full of tracks on my NAS which are tagged with "electro" and a bunch of files tagged with "rock".
If I filter ashuffle with "GENRE electro" > everything works fine from the NAS too! But when I select "rock" ashuffle capitulates.

But that's no problem at all.
I'll make limited compilations on USB with tags like "chillout", "party", "breakfast"... to use ashuffle + consume and feed my playlist manually from the NAS  from time to time.


Do you perhaps know what the max. GB size is, ashuffle is able to work with?
Does it possibly depend on the RAM of the Raspi?
At the moment I am using mod. 3B (1024MB). Could an upgrade to Raspi 4B with 4GB expand the capability of ashuffle?
The USB stick that works fine has ca. 9GB files on it.


Btw: Thank you for your excellent work. Moode continiously gets better from version to version.
I'm glad I have found this player after an unsatisfying journey with volumio...rune...picore...
