Library loading fails

[Tim Curtis]

Many thanks for your help so far.

I am not the greatest computer expert but I have the feeling that the "not valid bitstream" error messages are maybe not the cause but an effect of the problem.

Just checked the SD card. The 32GB card contains a FAT32 partition called "boot" sized 268MB of which 37,8MB is used. The remaining 31,6GB are unformatted.

To my layman's mind, that seems to be very little. Could it be that the partition is simply too small for storing my not exactly small metadata library? I have not found any information in the Moode documentation on when and how to expand the boot partition.

I used the Pi imager und followed your setup guide for creating the card.

The uSD card has two partitions: bootfs and rootfs. Bootfs contains the system boot files and firmware and is formatted as VFAT (Fat32) which is visible in most OS's. Rootfs contains RaspiOS, moOde and any song files copied directly to it. It's formatted as Ext4 which is only viewable in Linux.

Code:

pi@moode-test2:~ $ sudo blkid -o list
device          fs_type  label   mount point     UUID
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/mmcblk0p1  vfat     bootfs  /boot/firmware  018C-2700
/dev/mmcblk0p2  ext4     rootfs  /               8c55512a-ead1-46ab-a547-f232ae1edbf6

The rootfs partition is automatically expanded to the size of the uSD card at first boot. Partition sizes and disk space usage can be viewed using the commands below. Disk usage is also printed in moOde System info.

Code:

pi@moode-test2:~ $ lsblk
NAME        MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
mmcblk0     179:0    0 29.7G  0 disk
├─mmcblk0p1 179:1    0  512M  0 part /boot/firmware
└─mmcblk0p2 179:2    0 29.2G  0 part /

Code:

pi@moode-test2:~ $ df -h
