[SOLVED] moOde 9.0.5 and 9.0.7: Adding radio station to playlist does not work

[Tim Curtis]

To exclude my mistakes in the station definition, I also have it with the stations part of the moOde distribution.

The 2 instances are both, PI4B, booting from a SSD, connected via USB to a DAC, using the same initial image (9.0.3), and having both the Worker Response set to Boosted. In addition, both instances have exactly the same config wrt radio stations, playlists, and read from the same NAS. So, the music lib is the same as well. As said, I've exported the config of the non working instance to the other instance, and there everything goes fine.

Only difference is that I upgraded the mal-functioning instance from 9.0.3 > 9.0.4. > 9.0.5, whereas I upgraded the working instance from 9.0.3 > 9.0.5 in 1 go.

Btw, the 2 messages are: 1) "Updating Playlist" and 2) "Items have been added". When it fails, I don't get the second message.

Set Worker response to "Default". The boosted setting may be causing certain events to be missed. I'll prolly remove the option for upcoming 9.0.6.

Hi Kent,

I just tested it by adding tracks and albums from my NAS to a playlist. Did it with several random tracks and albums and to different playlists

Same behavior: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Best regards,

@Tim Curtis I set the worker response to "Default" (and restarted)

3 out of 11 attempts were successful. That's the same as it was set on "Boosted"

Its not obvious to me what might be happening on your end. I'm not having any issues whatsoever with Playists except for the one issue I mentioned earlier that was caused by a bug.

Hopefully someone will be able to repro your issue and provide some insights as to what might be happening.

Being in SW development myself, I understand that's niot easy to track this down as behavior is not consistent and, as such, not easy to reproduce.
Are there any other logfiles I can check?

Have a look at /var/www/command/playlist.php
https://github.com/moode-player/moode/tr...ww/command

And the included default playlist files containing the two EXTINF metadata tags at the top

I know well the thrill of the hunt but you could just flash a fresh moOde 9.0.5 and save your ammunition for a another day

Hi Kent,

That's what I just did.
After a fresh 9.0.5 install, everything worked fine. Next, I imported my settings of my previous install, and after rebooting, I've exactly the same behavior as before. Looks like the import of the config breaks some things.
If you want, I can upload my configfile.

When you say "imported settings" do you mean you used the Restore feature on System Config?
Did you only restore the Config and Prefs or were there other items that were part of the restore?

Yes, indeed. I did a fulll restore with all option flagged on.

Only difference between my 2 instances is that the one that's ok, is wired, the instance causing issues is via wireless.
