I hope this is not hijacking the OP's thread but I have some queries along a similar path.
Yeah, it is, kinda.
Quote:1) Is there a way of viewing a startup log that would indicate where the library updating/reading process stopped - or at least where it successfully got to - preferably by foldername or something similar? This must be easier than going through 100's of files/folders looking for some odd metadata!
See my reply to eroica. Unfortunately, MPD is not very helpful in identifying problems nor suggesting solutions.
Quote:2) What if anything is the difference between 'Regenerate Library' (in the Library dropdown) and 'Library Update' in the 'm' dropdown?
I think of them as "throw it out and start over" vs "make necessary changes".
Quote:3) Does the 'Update This Folder' option in Folder view really just update the contents of the selected folder when later viewed in Tag view? (My system is offline at present while I create a completely new 8.2.2 configuration).
Note that we (well, MPD, really) speak loosely when we say "Library". What's being updated is the database (a specialized file, actually) MPD maintains describing the tracks it has scanned. This particular choice restricts MPD to the selected folder when scanning tracks. Whatever changes are made to the database in the process may affect all views.
