I've asked about this a year ago and decided to pick it back up again.. will try to be succinct:
I have a collection of MP3 music files I'd like to be able to play on a Moode device and each time I try it makes the device unusable. I know this relates to the size of the collection because if I do the same stuff with a small folder for testing it always works well.
I have tried loading 100gb of music directly onto a 128gb microSD card with the Moode OS
I have tried LAN shared folders over ethernet and over wifi
I have tried USB thumb drives, SSD, USB HDD, externally powered USB HDD
I have tried a Raspberry Pi 3B and a Raspberry Pi 3b+
I have tried the 64bit kernel
When I asked about this a year ago everyone said 100+gb collections are no problem... but as far as I can tell it's simply not usable for that. So I gave up because I was getting nowhere.
Tried another stab at it today with a fresh install of the 7.x image on a new microsd card.. same result it's entirely unusable as soon as I ask it to play a library bigger than a couple albums.
Can someone confirm that Moode on a Raspberry Pi 3b+ is even supposed to operate at all with mp3 collections that contain 15k+ files, and if the answer is yes can you suggest what you think I might be doing wrong?
