[SOLVED] Nothing in library

[Evil_Underlord]

The log indicates you have the Hotspot running and therefore must be connecting to it from your Browser. Is that correct?

That's not correct. I did at one point create a hotspot password in Moode, because Moode kept insisting on it. But I've never connected to it and would happily turn the hotspot off as unnecessary if I knew how. All I see are the fields to create a name and password.

The Hotspot is running because there is a defined SSID that can't be connectted to. Open Network Config and set "Network SSID" to None then reboot.

Done. Interestingly, it then connected to the correct WiFi network (I've unblocked it) and the hotspot is not activated.

Still doesn't show any music though (even after updating the library again).

Check a couple of things.

Code:

# The mount point
ls /mnt/NAS/Name

Where Name is what was entered for the "Name" field when you created the Remote NAS source.

# The MPD log for any permission or access errors
moodeutl --mpdlog

Thanks. I'm unclear on where to enter these commands. Is it using SSH? If so, where would I find/set the login credentials?

Turn on Web SSH in System Config

Userid and password are whatever you entered into the Raspberry Pi Imager when you prepped the image.

The ls command turns up a long list of artist names.


The mpdlog command turns up a vast list that's mostly 'removing ...[artist/song]' and 'adding ...[same]' and 'updating ...[same]. Unfortunately, I don't know how to copy it all or redirect the output to a file I could reach.

The good news is that it certainly seems to be finding the music files. If I could just get it to play or show me some.

Are you using Tag, Album or Folder view to try and browse your collection?

Are you using Tag, Album or Folder view to try and browse your collection?

Mystery solved.

Apparently, since I installed Moode many months ago, I forgot that the way to get to those views is by clicking on the album cover image - in this case, the big image saying Moode. Once I did that, I did manage to see the songs and eventually got one to play.

So, user error and my apologies. If I had gone right back to the beginning and the installation instructions, I imagine I'd have figured it out. Since I didn't, I guess I would note that I didn't see anything that made that intuitive. It makes sense now that I remember, but to a newcomer, it wasn't something I thought of at all (since that's not usually how I use Moode).

lol, at least its not a bug in my code :-0
