The command below is used to generate the SCAN list. If you are able to run it and the unfiltered cmd and report what it outputs in your environment it might be help to understand why its not reporting anything.

Code:

sudo nmblookup -S -T '*' | grep '*<00>' | cut -f 1 -d '*'

# Without the grep filter
sudo nmblookup -S -T '*'

Has there been a change to the way cover art is handled?  I upgraded one of my systems to 8.0 and now some (maybe 10%) of the cover art just shows a ? in a little blue box.  Cover art shows fine on the other systems.  The jpg files are in the folders.
I tried switching to embedded - made no difference.

Also having the same issue rebuilding the library - have about 20000 tracks and it has not yet managed to completely build the library.  Am using a Pi 1B, so understand it might take some time.

If it helps: All the Beatles albums have the same, seems to be by folder, all Beach boys, all cranberries....

One more thing - when I play the album the cover art shows in the main cover art area, but not in the "playlist thumbnails" - just the ?

In the main MoOde Menu find the "Preferences" tab.. What have you configured for the various options including Library and Advanced Library..?

Hi Tim

When creating a new source, the scan returns

MOODE/NAS
MOODE/Playlists
MOODE/SDCard

and this is what I get from the commands you gave:

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ sudo nmblookup -S -T '*' | grep '*<00>' | cut -f 1 -d '*'
moode.fritz.box, 192.168.178.33
fritz.box, 192.168.178.1
pi@moode:~ $ sudo nmblookup -S -T '*'
moode.fritz.box, 192.168.178.33 *<00>
Looking up status of 192.168.178.33
        MOODE           <00> -         B <ACTIVE>
        MOODE           <03> -         B <ACTIVE>
        MOODE           <20> -         B <ACTIVE>
        WORKGROUP       <00> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
        WORKGROUP       <1e> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>

        MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00

fritz.box, 192.168.178.1 *<00>

fritz.box is my router which has a NAS function and a USB stick attached.

Also, if I find my library looks odd after a main update, I first try clearing the browser cache.  Often that's enough to make it right again.

A comment on moOde 8 players mounting Samba shares.

moOde 8 is built on Raspbian 11 (bullseye) which includes Samba v4.13.13 compared to moOde 7 built on Raspbian 10 (buster) which includes Samba v4.9.5.

Because of its inherent insecurity, the Samba developers made an executive decision to turn off the SMBv1 protocol in the default configuration at Samba v4.11.0. (You can read a nice summary of insecure protocols at https://www.extrahop.com/company/blog/20...protocols/) In other words, SMBv2 is now the minimum protocol level tried in the mounting process.

This means that users trying to mount Samba servers which support only SMBv1 will have to enter vers=1.0 explicitly in the mount flags at the bottom of moOde 8's Music Source configuration screen.

Regards,
Kent

PS - setting the vers= flag forces the mounting process to try only that version which is why it isn't included by default.

fritz.box is my router which has a NAS function and a USB stick attached.

Given this setup, perhaps the fastest way t a solution is to plug the USB drive into the Pi that moOde is on. That way it will be automatically be mounted to moOde for mpd to scan, and also automatically shared over SMB for other things on your network to see, just as from the fritz box.

Hi Sean,
running a harddisk as NAS on my FRitzbox 7590 it might help you to see my setting:

The path in Moode Configure>Music Source>Server>Path is

"IP of the Fritzbox" /fritzbox/"Name of the Share"

Mount flags in Advanced setting are:

vers=1.0,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777




The Fritzbox setting has a checkbox to enable SMBv1, this should be enabled.

Works for me with 8.01.
Hope this helps.

Maartin


PS: It is not working with a point -"IP of the Fritzbox" /fritz.box/"Name of the Share"-
