Library (tag view) is empty

[Girafenaine]

Hello,

I have installed moode 7.0.1 on my rasberry pi 4. It seems to work well, and my whole music folder is scanned on an USB drive when I click on "regenerate library" in library config panel. I can find my tracks through the folder view of the library. However, the tag view is still empty. Nothing is diplayed there.

In /var/log/mpd/log I can read following lines after clicking on "update library" :


20210209 213810 thmcache: Scanning: NAS, SDCARD, UPNP, Docs, Stockage
20210209 213813 mpdindex: Done: indexed 1971 artists, 2545 albums, 16756 songs

Could you help me to make "tag view" to display my music tracks ?

Try the cmd below. There should be at least one libcache json file with > 0 bytes. If not then it's not obvious to me what might be happening.

Code:

Thanks Tim for your quick answer.

Here is the output. There is "libcache_all.json" which is rather big. I am not sure what I have to try next.

Code:

pi@moode:/var/log/mpd $ ls -l /var/local/www

And to be more accurate, here is a screenshot :

I would open a Browser console, do a hard page reload and then see if there are any errors.

[Girafenaine]

OK, I tried hard page reload (ctrl+shift+r) and it did not work.

I just checked and the tag view is OK on my Android phone.

On my laptop I use palemoon 29.0 (on MX Linux) as a browser. It worked well until now with moode 6.7.1. Is there anything else to try ?

[TheOldPresbyope]

[Aside- this thread is one more proof that users have to specify their entire software chain when they report an issue.]

So I just installed palemoon into Linux Mint on my laptop. Unlike its progenitor Firefox on the same system, palemoon does not display the entries in the tag-view columns. This seems to be an issue for palemoon, not for moOde.

Hello, it may be an issue with palemoon, but there is not such "tag view" issue with moode 6.7.1 on the same palemoon. So we can see the issue from both points of view ! Obvisouly something has been changed in moode.

I will investigate further to see what kind of erros are given in the browser console.

[TheOldPresbyope]

Yes, things change all the time in the moOde UI but it's all still legal Javascript and CSS. Javascript itself is a moving target, of course. If palemoon is behind the curve on the version of its Javascript engine we might expect behavior such as you report.

Since the UI works fine in current Firefox, Safari, Chromium and the Chromium derivatives such as Chrome, Brave, Edge, yada yada yada, on multiple platforms, I think the burden is on palemoon. If you find a specific construct which is causing palemoon to have heartburn, of course you should report it but you should report it to palemoon devs too.

From the Pale Moon home page:

It aims to provide close adherence to a balanced set of official, common-sense web standards and specifications in its implementation (with minimal compromise), and purposefully excludes a number of features to strike a balance between general use, performance, and technical advancements on the Web.

That "purposefully excludes" statement suggests that perhaps moOde has begun using a feature that Pale Moon does not think is a "common-sense" standard.
