I have sorted out my problem. I think...
When I updated my music on my NAS (Synology DS218J) the other day, I renamed one of the folders in my shared music folder from Flac to FLAC, to make things easier when copying files from my USB HDD to the NAS. It appears that was when I started having the doubled track listings.
What I found, when I tried to stream music from my NAS directly to my Yamaha RX-V1071, was that when I selected to browse by Folders, I could see both Flac and FLAC folders listed, even though only the FLAC folder was visible using a file browser on my Linux laptop, and Synology File App. It seems to have been caused by renaming the folder via a file browser on the laptop, instead of using the Synology Web Interface.
I moved my 3 music folders (FLAC, MP3 and Comedy) from the shared music folder on the NAS to the photos folder on the NAS temporarily, and then deleted the MoOde Library Tag Cache, Updated the MPD database and Re-Booted MoOde (which cleared my library). Then I moved the 3 music folders back to the NAS Shared music folder, and re-generated the MPD database.
MoOde is now only showing each track listed singly, as it should, and only populates the play list with one instance of each track. The Yamaha receiver is still showing the "ghost" folder, unfortunately.
So the fault is in the way "Ghost" folders are persistent on the NAS. I am currently trying to resolve this. One suggestion on the Synology forum was to re-create the "Ghost" folders on the NAS using the web interface file app, then delete them, again using the web interface app. I have done this, but the NAS is currently re-indexing the media files, so I can't tell if this worked until re-indexing is finished.
I'll report back tomorrow and let you know how it pans out.
Edit: Next Morning....
OK, it looks like everything is back to normal again. I'm not 100% sure which was the crucial part of the fix, whether it was flushing the database by updating to an empty folder, then re-gen once the folder was re-populated, or whether it was the re-indexing of the NAS media folders. MoOde worked once the MoOde database was flushed, but other streaming devices didn't until after NAS re-index. But with both, all streaming devices appear to be back to normal. Happy days.. :-)
Also, I just realised that this thread may be in the wrong section? Should it have been posted in "Support" instead?
