MPD error - Fail to decode - no such file or directory

[Tim Curtis]

Also is there any way of deleting the old library information? I find that when I go in to windows browser it has added new versions of the same folder name e.g. Samsung_T5 and then Samsung_T5_ and so on. Hard to keep track and I wonder if this might be adding to the likelihood of the error in the above post?

First, what model Raspberry Pi are you using?
And how many tracks in your collection?

Next, your best bet is to do the following:

1. Unplug the SSD from the Raspberry Pi
2. Install the latest moOde 8.3.8 image
3, Plug the SSD into your Windows computer and turn on the Windows File Explorer option that shows hidden files and directories. These need to be removed from the SSD otherwise there can be issues when moOde/MPD tries to index the files.

After that is done plug the drive into the Raspberry Pi and do the following

1. Open Library Config and make sure the option "Auto-update database (USB drive)" is OFF
2. Go back to Playback or Library Tag/Album view and then Menu, Update library
3. Wait for the update to complete (no spinner)

If there are issues then examine the MPD log for errors using the command below

Code:

cat /var/log/mpd/log
