Thank you, very useful.
No errors so far...
Update is running
Edit:
oh, sometimes there are messages like this:
Note: Trying to resync...
Note: Hit end of (available) data during resync.
Dec 13 13:23 : mpg123: mpg123_getformat() failed: Message: I am done with this track.

Note: Illegal Audio-MPEG-Header 0x00000000 at offset 4092.
ca. 20 times so far i can see. then the updateprocess continues...
I'll be interested to hear if the "noserverino" parameter does the trick (I'm guessing it won't, but this wouldn't be the first time my guess is wrong). If it doesn't, then here's an off-the-wall possibility.
Some programs write shadow files for media files which imitate the file name but don't contain legal media content. (This might even be true for the Fritz!Box Media Server function, if you've ever invoked that. I can't find useful online documentation to tell me exactly what this function does internally.)
I assume that MPD is also listing the name of each file that causes the sample output you posted. Does it appear in the storage directory you would expect? Can you post the output of the
ls -alR command for that directory (and if possible the directory above if the file doesn't appear where you expect; the command will scan the directories recursively). Here's an example for a directory on my NAS (not one which causes any problem, though).
Code:
pi@moodelr: $ ls -alR /mnt/NAS/OMV-MUSIC/rips/James_Galway-In_Dulci_Jubilo
/mnt/NAS/MUSIC/rips/James_Galway-In_Dulci_Jubilo:

Also, in a previous message you said
Quote:I've made more tests:
another NAS, another Share, only 1 Folder with only a few *.mp3 Files --> after regenerating the Libary I can see every File in the Folder
Does "another NAS" mean not your Fritz!Box? Have you tried this same test on your Fritz!Box? If you can reproduce the issue with a small set of files it would help in diagnosing the problem. While 100+K tracks isn't a record it's a lot and as you see it takes time to scan, especially over a network.
It's even possible the large number of media files is a problem for the Fritz!Box itself if one of its processes is maintaining an internal cache for, say, its Media Server function. Do you possess a powered USB hub? If so, have you tried connecting the HDD to the RPi via the hub (hence removing the Fritz!Box from the equation) and trying to generate the Library.
Finally, your screenname made me smile too but for a different reason than memories of 'English chair bodgers'. For years I've been known as the Man in the Hat at the local high school where I have volunteered for years. My trademark is a felt fedora I wear every day. (It turns out school policy is "no hats" but they forgot to tell me when I started and I guess now no one felt like harrassing the oldest guy in the building.)
