[SOLVED] Update library hangs unpredictably while scanning SMB share on a Fritzbox router

[Tim Curtis]

Very odd.

Some things to try:

1. Run a long ping test from the Pi to the NAS. When you examine the stats look for really high mdev (standard deviation), super long rtt's, lot of retries etc. This would indicate a network issue.

2. Install the tree command and check the permissions on the remote directory tree. MPD needs at least read access to the files and read+execute access to all containing directories.

Code:

sudo apt-get install tree

tree -p /path/

3. Check the permissions on the directory and files following the last directory indexed by MPD

Code:

ls -l /path/

4. Try a fresh 9 image on a new SD Card.
