You haven't posted the requested error messages from MPD log so how do we know what's really happening?

At this point in the discussion, I don't really care whether you know what's really happening or not. I haven't posted those requested error messages because I'm not proficient with Linux -- I never use it, and have no experience with it -- so your instructions in that regard were pretty unhelpful to me. So all I've done in this thread is report what my experience with the latest Moode 6.5.0 has been, which I had thought was the purpose of this thread. And that experience is that MPD crashes in post-6.2.0 Moode versions rather than correctly databasing a large multi-terabyte collection of music files, the way previous Moode versions such as 6.2.0 were capable of doing -- which of course is why I'll continue to use Moode 6.2.0 rather than trying to migrate to a later version such as the new Moode 6.5.0. If that information I've provided is helpful in your further development of Moode, then great; if it isn't -- well, sorry, that's all I've got.

IMO, Moode is a great program -- really the best of several that I've tried on a Digione Signature Player -- and I'll continue to use the 6.2.0 version of it, as it works very well for me. And I'll download and install and test out subsequent Moode versions, to see if the problem I've had with previous post-6.2.0 versions has been resolved. If it has been resolved, then great, I'll likely migrate to that new, improved version; if not, I'll continue with Moode 6.2.0, which works for me. But frankly, this discussion has taken on an unfortunate combative tone, which I find unpleasant. So I think I'll just sign off for now -- best of luck & more power to you.

Dradder... I'm sure had the user community known earlier you were not proficient in computing and especially unfamiliar with Linux then any one of us would have been happy to walk you through with baby steps....and still would be

I have read back through the thread and see nothing 'combative'.... I understand you are frustrated and feel helpless.. We all are going through tough times with the worldwide lock-down and I find myself obsessing over little things I would otherwise be more accommodating about.

The devs have asked for information to help assess the difficulties you are experiencing and it seems they are eager to help once given that info and being able to repro it.

I'm happy to help with the linux commands you need to run...pm me if this would be useful for you. (note they can be run easily from within moOde...you do not need any other Linux )

Best,
Bob.

So to pull back the thread from the change averse types... loving the UI update, better overlays, seems cleaner and more fat-finger friendly with the migration of the smallest buttons (which could be fiddly on small screens) to the new nav menu. Well done guys, there's clearly a lot of thought and effort that has gone into 6.5.0 and it works very well.

Special thanks for the new Show Tagview covers appearance option, when set to No the Tag view render time is further improved, faster than the UI.tagViewCovers hack on 6.4.x with my ~9000 album library.
One minor thing I should point out is that when this option is selected the album column spacing is different to the other columns.
   

Thanks again.

The new update library feature works very well aswell, very straightforward

I'm back at Moode 6.4.2
First of all I would like to apologize for my bad (google) english! I use the official 7 "touch display. The installation of the new version went so far smoothly. The reason is change or reduction of the volume ring in the main window (see attachments). In particular the position of + and - is for me a significant deterioration compared to previous version. It happened to me several times now that I ended up at 100% when changing the volume. This is not healthy for my speakers! Is there a way to enlarge the adjustment ring again?

If I mute and then unmute, the volume goes to 100!

Edit: Same issue on my other system, Allo USBridge Sig, Katana DAC.

Hi Peter,

Seems as if the font has changed in 6.5.0 for the numbers in that view and your tablet is rendering it differently to the other font.

This actually seems to be caused by the Android settings on your tablet, I've been able to replicate your issue on my tablet by changing Android's View Mode in [Settings] > [Display] from the default to Large (probably different name/location on different versions of Android). 
This setting magnifies all the icons and fonts in the home screen and supported apps and makes moOde look like what you've posted there.
Try putting your tablet's display settings back to the default View Mode and font size and see if that fixes your issue.

I do not use a tablet ! I have a Raspberry 3B with a IQaudio Amp+ and a Raspberry Pi 7'' Touch Display
