I did notice mpd got much pickier about stray non-music files in the music directory, probably in the time frame you’re talking about (in my case there were some zip files).
There’s a post somewhere here about using an .mpdignore (something like that) that you can put in the top level of your music folder (or drive if you don’t use a separate music folder) to keep mpd from trying to scan different file types, see:
https://www.musicpd.org/doc/html/user.ht...e-database
I ended up just removing the files that were throwing a spanner in the works.
Okay -- but if those files are throwing a spanner in the works with the MPD in Moode 6.5.0 (and the other versions subsequent to 6.2.0), then why aren't they throwing the same spanner into the works with the MPD in Moode 6.2.0, with the exact same files on my external USB drives, all of which are being correctly databased by Moode 6.2.0? And just for the record, there are no zip files on my USB drives -- I'm pretty thorough about grooming those.
Thanks for your help, but I just don't think this is the issue here.
