Official moOde 6.5.0 support thread

[Dradder]

Downloaded, installed, got running -- doesn't work for me. When I try to regenerate database of my attached USB drives, it runs for a while, then throws a "MPD Error" message and quits. I realize there's been some mention that Moode isn't really designed for use with large music collections, but my 6.2.0 installation works perfectly with mine; granted, it does take a while to index all the files, but it does do it eventually, with no hangups or stalls. None of the Moode upgrades since 6.2.0 work correctly in this regard, so I'll just keep running 6.2.0, since I really do love this program, and I appreciate all your hard work on it. Thanks!

Prolly a bug in MPD.

Post the error message(s) from MPD log and I'll b happy to investigate.

Here's a screen shot of the error message that pops up when the progress spinner stops, and Moode 6.5.0 stops regenerating the database of my external USB drives:

That error message suggests that MPD may have crashed during DB update.

To begin troubleshooting:

1. Reboot
2. Open an SSH terminal
3. tail -f /var/log/mpd/log
4. Menu, Configure, Library, Regenerate MPD database
NOTE: Stay on the Library screen until spinner clears

Check status of MPD
1. pgrep mpd
This will return a number of MPD is running. If MPD has crashed it returns nothing
2. Note the last song in the MPD log.

I'm curious, how many tracks in the collection?

-Tim

I don't have the exact count of tracks in the collection, but it's quite a few; we're talking over 4 terabytes of files, divided between two external USB drives. But however many there are, the fact is that Moode 6.2.0 databases them just fine, and the subsequent versions, including the latest Moode 6.5.0, all throw the same MPD error when asked to do so. So it strikes me that the number of tracks really isn't the issue; the issue is whatever happened to MPD between Moode 6.2.0 and 6.3.0. Sorry I can't be of more help in determining what that difference is; I really like Moode, I use it every day, and I appreciate all your hard work on it.
