If so have you imported your library with Update Library?
Thank you for replying Vinnn. Yes, I did all you mention, and more. I'll explain further.
The music sources are all located on a QNAP Nas, subdivided in several Shared Folders. These shared folders are the sources in Moode and mounted as such and have been chmoded to 777 (yes I know). So I have 6 mounts in Moode, all correctly mounted according to Moode. Through SSH they can be seen (with contents) in
Code:
/mnt/NAS/[name of mount]or through
Code:
/var/lib/mpd/music/NAS/[name of mount] where [name of mount] corresponds to a shared folder on the NAS.
When I descend down to these mounts, all the files are present. Through
Code:
mpc statsI can see the results of the indexing. I also took a peek at mpd.conf, and aside of its very concise contents, I see no obvious problems. The metatag entry is limited to
Code:
metadata_to_use "+comment"which would include all default MPD metatags as well. I could make an entry in mpd.conf such as:
Code:
metadata_to_use "albumartist,artist,album,track,title,genre,date,disc"A change in some other settings will have the effect of Moode generating a new mpd.conf file, undoing any changes having been made there. mpd.conf will revert back to the default mpd.conf, discarding all the changes being made to it.
As to the Library, there are several ways of updating (parts) of the Library, but most ways simply don't have any effect on the "index" of the Library.
Now, probably using the NAS music server's own index (if there even is one), would overcome many problems. The RPI4's hardware is just too limited to perform indexing with large music library. But as there's a great variety in music servers (each modeled to the NAS architecture) such as Minimserver, Twonky, LMS, Plex and many others, this isn't a viable option for the developer.
Back on topic: the Library functions TAG and ALBUM yield no results.
Cheers,
