PeppySpectrum with MoOde

What's in the startup log after you regenerate the thumbnail cache?

Code:

moodeutl -l

There should be a block of log records with stats about the process.

Example:

Code:

20221101 184037 worker: Watchdog started
20221101 184037 worker: Ready
20221102 061421 worker: Job regen_thmcache
20221102 061421 thumb-gen: Start
20221102 061421 thumb-gen: Priority: Embedded cover
20221102 061421 thumb-gen: Res,Qual: 600px,60
20221102 061421 thumb-gen: Px ratio: 1
20221102 061421 thumb-gen: Th width: 600
20221102 061421 thumb-gen: Thm qual: 60
20221102 061421 thumb-gen: Scanning: NAS, SDCARD, VFAT128
20221102 061502 thumb-gen: Done: 356 folders scanned, 356 thumbs created, 0 already in cache.

I remember I had an issue related to read-permissions a while ago... try see what the HDD mounted folder permissions look like, from a shell:

ls -la

you should at least see rwxr-xr-x
If not so, you can easily change that with:
chmod 0755 <the directory itself> (and maybe prepending "sudo" to the command, cannot remember), meanwhile, if this appears to be your issue, we might need to investigate WHY sometimes, or always, external HDDs get mounted without READ permissions...
