[PROBLEM] can't update library

[zbilic]

Hello,
Just realised that library DB (/var/lib/mpd/database) is a gzip archive.

I have compared it with the old one from 8.3.9.

In the new one, there is only "directory: RADIO" with the Radio station list and "directory: SDCARD"

In the old one, there is a complete list with all directories (e.g. directory: NAS, ...)

The progress spinner never stops, even after a reboot.

Is there a limit to how large a database can be, i.e. how many rows?

The old one has 61198 rows.

I have added more files to the SAMBA share.

Is it possible to stop it, reset DB, start again, initiate an update and debug it?

Thanks in advance.

Did u read the thread at the link I previously posted?

Try examining the MPD log
cat /var/log/mpd/log

Tnx for the link and support.

I missed your replay because I was writing a post at the same time.

Yes, I tried the steps from the link.

The "/var/log/mpd/log" is empty, even when I execute REGNERATE from the GUI.

At the same time I checked the output of the moodutil -l

Code:

root@moode:~# ls -l  /var/log/mpd/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   0 Apr 27 15:16 log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 112 Apr 26 22:55 log.1.gz

Also, tried to REGENERATE library via GUI and mpc update command - no difference.

I'm unsure what it means, but commad mpc list DB reported this message.

Code:

root@moode:~# mpc list /var/lib/mpd/database
Unknown tag "/var/lib/mpd/database"; supported tags are: Artist, Album, AlbumArtist, Title, Track, Name, Genre, Date, Composer, Performer, Comment, Disc, MUSICBRAINZ_ARTISTID, MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID, MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTISTID, MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID, MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASETRACKID, OriginalDate, ArtistSort, AlbumArtistSort, AlbumSort, Label, MUSICBRAINZ_WORKID, Grouping, Work, Conductor, ComposerSort, Ensemble, Movement, MovementNumber, Location

Compared to 8.3.9 DB tag that differs is: tag: Mood

I even tried a fresh install of the image, and only with the SAMBa configuration (no other adjustments) - the result is almost the same.

Only the test file is visible in the Library.

Code:

root@moode:/tmp# ls -l  /var/log/mpd/log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 27 22:08 /var/log/mpd/log
