MPD auto update

[Coustard]

Hi Kent,

Thanks for your help.

I don't think that

Code:

mpc -h <moode hostname> update

will work for me because I'm on a Mac (no mpd/installed). Is that correct?

But yes, you correctly interpreted my imprecise prose.  From my Mac Terminal:

Code:

MacBook-Pro-6:~ rogerfking$ ssh pi@moode.local
[color=#44ce3b][size=x-small][font=Monaco]pi@moode.local's password: [/font][/size][/color]
Kernel 4.19.97-v7l+, Raspbian 10.2, moOde 6.4.2

[blah blah]

pi@moode:~ $ mpc update
[color=#44ce3b][size=x-small][font=Monaco]Updating DB (#19) ...[/font][/size][/color]
[color=#44ce3b][size=x-small][font=Monaco]volume:100%   repeat: off   random: off   single: off   consume: off[/font][/size][/color]
pi@moode:~ $ 

Which I think is what you are seeing. Checking with moodeutl -t in another ssh connection I see:

Code:

Whereas, clicking the update button in the browser library config tab I get:

Code:

Which is probably unhelpfully verbose. The difference that I see (not any kind of expert) is that the second code  shows two lines including waitWorker()  that don't appear in the first.

I don't know - I'm out of my depth here. All I can say is that it's not a life and death issue.

Cheers,
