PeppySpectrum with MoOde

[Nutul]

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: 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...


Cheers, Al.

Thank you, Al.

The USD-HDD is mounted with no problem, and the albumart can be displayed when playing, just no thumbnail for play queue / tag view / album view.

It looks like you cannot get the thumbnails generated, or they get generated with a different hash from that calculated by moOde when needed...
could it be that those japanese characters mess-up the md5 algorithm? Or, more simply, they produce different hashes (on PHP side vs. JS side) due to html escaping? Just wandering around here...

Cheers, Al.
