9.0.2/Pi3b+: freeze when scanning library for the first time
#8
I'm running OpenMediaVault on a HardKernel HC1 ARM-based SBC. It serves an SMB share with ca 6000 tracks of various formats.

None of the moOde 9.0.2 players I currently test---on Pi 3A+, Pi 3B+, Pi 4B, Pi 5B---have a problem adding this share to their libraries. They are all connected to my LAN via WiFi.

All in all, no evidence to suggest what might be causing the reported freeze.

The only tangible clue offered by the OP is that the freeze does not occur if the local display is disabled and that with the local display enabled he sees more memory usage...and a freeze. The amount of memory he reports seems adequate to me* but he seems to be suggesting an out-of-memory error condition might be occurring.

Were I in this situation, I'd try enabling swap (to a file) to see if the updating proceeds to completion. There are plenty of HowTo's on the subject available on the Web. NOTE- swapping to a file is inherently slow but that's the price one pays for the "extra" working memory it provides.


Just my 2-cents worth.

Kent

*As it happens, my Pi 3B+ also has an official 7-in touch screen with the moOde local display enabled. I have no issue adding my library to it.

Querying the handy moodeutl utility:


Code:
xxx@m902pi3bp:~ $ moodeutl -m
CPU: 1.4 GHz | Load: 5% / 56C | Memory: 53% used | Disk: 35% used / 8.5G free |
