Try regenerating the library (Library Config) and then examine the MPD log for errors, typically permission errors. MPD needs read access to the files and read+execute access to all the parent directories.

Code:
moodeutl --mpdlog
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately regenerating the library didn't help (tried several times). MPD log with no errors and all directories have 775 permission and files are - 644
BUT, after restart the system, all files are visible

I lost thumbnails on the Album page (see attached SS), after doing the replacement of the symlink USB :
How this looks more elegant way:
go to /var/lib/mpd/music where us find NAS RADIO SDCARD USB
USB is symlink so I removed that one and made new
this is an example to my folder:
ln -s /media/7b4..... 6784/media/music USB
I did it as I could not clear scanning by moode all my folders via mpdignore option.
I am wondering if that could break something?
However, when I click on the album and pick show trucks you can see there is core and trucks so where is the thumbnail?
I know that I did modification but did not seems to that deep.
Call me crazy, but I think it would be a lot easier to fix whatever your problem is using .mpdignore files. (Note that the filename begins with a period/fullstop character.)
Here's an example of a USB thumbdrive I just stuck some files on.

See that .mpdignore file in /media/PNY1GB1/Music/GoodMusic ?
Et voilà - neither subdirectory in /media/PNY1GB1/Music/GoodMusic is scanned by MPD. Only the tracks in /media/PNY1GB1/Music/Robin have been added to the MPD database during the update.
ETA - Forgot to say, the coverart displays everywhere it should.
I feel kind of bad for asking such Mickey Mouse questions, but I have to.
1. Is there any way to make a shortcut to switch between the MPD & analog input? I can deal with all the steps to do it, but I already know it's going to drive my wife insane.
2. What is the official procedure for connecting to Bluetooth? It works fine on my phone but connecting my Windows laptop is very hit or miss.
3. Is there any way to change the scaling on the display? I have a 10" 1080p touch screen and everything is just a hair too small. I would love to scale it all up 150-200% if possible
Instructions for using Bluetooth can be displayed by submitting the HELP command in BlueZ Config. Bluetooth has very limited range and is easily affected by anything that attenuates or interferes with the signal. YMMV
There is a Font Size setting in Preferences that works ok but it was not fully implemented and thus not all UI elements are covered. You might want to check out the /boot/config.txt settings for attached displays. Maybe there is a scaling option?

I tried that it did not work for me at all, I do not know why. I noticed that it is an empty text file (or some kind of specific file system?). I was so tired to try as I wrote in my posts that this is not working so I made this workaround (which I might not like but it is working well apart of those bloody thumbnails.
