Hi, Marco.
We can't give good answers if you don't supply basic information.
Post the output from moodeutl -s. This helps us judge the basic health of your system. (I originally wrote -l but -s gives more complete info.)
Since you are struggling with the MPD library, show us what MPD thinks is in it. Since you're comfortable working from the command line:
Post the actual output from mpc stats.
Post the output from, say, mpc list album (or one of the other major tag fields in your collection such as title, artist, genre). This is the information used to construct the views in the moOdeUI.
The RPi4B is quite capable of indexing large collections but the upper limit depends of various factors. I have a modest collection of ca 6000 tracks and even an RPi0W is happy with it. Others have collections well into the 10K to 20K range.
How big is yours? If it's into the 30K+ tracks range I think neither moOde nor any other MPD-based player running on an SBC will perform well. If your collection is supersized, you could test the hypothesis that size matters by mounting only of your six NAS shares and checking the result.
There is no call for fiddling with system files such as mpd.conf. The moOdeUI provides access to all the configuration parameters a normal user needs and, as you've discovered, overwrites mpd.conf.
Most users problems with the Library have been traced to their tags. What matters is what MPD and its plugins recognize, not indexing-status info from a NAS package like minimserver.
Regards,
Kent
