Hello,
I am a new user of moode audio. I am grateful to devs that have made such a useful tool, i like ideas and design of moode.
However I met an issue trying to listen to my own music. Install on a raspberry pi 4 (2 Go), wifi and audio config worked well. But moode, or mpd in moode, is unable to discover my music tracks on a USB drive. Here are a few clues :
- last 6.4.2 moode audio on a 16 Gb sd card. Internet radio are OK. Music from an fat32 formatted USB stick ca be used without any issues.
- USB drive with its own power supply, 1 To, WD.
- two partitions : an ext4 one with all my "home" folder (where on can find my music folder among a lot of other docs), and a ntfs one with only movies.
- the USB drive is seen and mounted under /media when used on the raspberry pi with moode audio. lsblk output :
- fdisk output extract to read about formatting :
- With ssh tool, I can go to /var/lib/mpd/music/USB and find there my /media/Sauvegardes partition. I can manually go down to my music folder and find all my tracks.
- But in moode, when I "regen" library, it can only find some weird tracks in "movies" partition. No sign from my ext4 Documents partition.
- When I put a ".mpdignore" file a the root of the "movies" partition, moode find no tracks at all on my USB drive. It seems to ignore my ext4 partition.
- I tried with two other USB drive with same failures as far as discovering my music is concerned.
Moode can explore my fat32 formatted USB stick, but not my ext4 formatted partition on my USB drive.
What should I try to find my whole music folder under moode ? Is ext4 not a good format for mpd ? Is there a limit in the number of folders that mpd can explore ?
Thanks for the help you can provide !
