[SOLVED] Library changes take two refreshes

[Nykkuno]

Try the following:

1. Truncate the MPD log

Code:

sudo truncate /var/log/mpd/log --size 0

2. Regenerate the Music database (Library Config)

3. Examine the MPD log and look for permission or other errors

Code:

cat /var/log/mpd/log

Thanks Tim

I should have thought of regenerating the MPD cache with that option earlier.

I have found the rouge FLAC file and, in addition, flac's with cue's that were being scanned but not added, and have shifted them into an ignore folder where there is a .mpdignore file with an asterix as it's content.  I'll can get around to sorting them out at another time.

It also helped me find some mkv files that possibly slowed down the scan and put an .mpdignore file in those folders to ignore the video files.

It has made the mpd scan quicker... once I have a new album to add I'll see if it still takes more than one library update to make it visible in Moode. 

In the meantime, thanks for your help.
