[PROBLEM] moodeaudio 9.3.3 does not put the library

[Nutul]

The "vers" you have to add is dictated, most probably, by the drop of vers 1.x; but still has to be a version supported by your NAS, so, try with the lowest first, say, 2.0.2

[boomblip]

Mounting CIFS is a bundle of joy when it comes to version definition ?

Code:

man mount.cifs

vers=arg
              SMB protocol version. Allowed values are:

              • 1.0 - The classic CIFS/SMBv1 protocol.

              • 2.0 - The SMBv2.002 protocol. This was initially introduced in Windows Vista Service Pack 1, and Windows Server 2008. Note that the  initial  re‐
                lease version of Windows Vista spoke a slightly different dialect (2.000) that is not supported.

              • 2.1 - The SMBv2.1 protocol that was introduced in Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2.

              • 3.0 - The SMBv3.0 protocol that was introduced in Microsoft Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.

              • 3.02 or 3.0.2 - The SMBv3.0.2 protocol that was introduced in Microsoft Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012R2.

              • 3.1.1 or 3.11 - The SMBv3.1.1 protocol that was introduced in Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016.

              • 3 - The SMBv3.0 protocol version and above.

              • default - Tries to negotiate the highest SMB2+ version supported by both the client and server.

              If no dialect is specified on mount vers=default is used.  To check Dialect refer to /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData

              Note too that while this option governs the protocol version used, not all features of each version are available.

              The  default since v4.13.5 is for the client and server to negotiate the highest possible version greater than or equal to 2.1. In kernels prior to
              v4.13, the default was 1.0. For kernels between v4.13 and v4.13.5 the default is 3.0.

So I guess the advice is to pick a dialect that matches and then rewrite it according to the vers arguments valid values.
E.g. 
202 = 2.0
210 = 2.1
300 = 3.0
302 = 3.0.2 or 3.02
Yay! lol

It looks to me like there's something broken with the latest version of MPD / Moode and SMB shares.

Here's what I've tried now:
Remove all shares.
Regenerate Music Database
tail -f /var/log/mpd/log
Last line in log: "update: updating SDCARD/Stereo Test/LRMonoPhase4.flac"
Add SMB share and defining e.g. vers=2.0
Regenerate Music Database
tail -f /var/log/mpd/log
Last line still "update: updating SDCARD/Stereo Test/LRMonoPhase4.flac"
...nothing happening in the log
According to UI Thumbnail Generator scanned 2933 folders.
still nothing in mpd log
UI showing infinite spinner next to "m"

On the 9.2.x versions when I did "Regen music db" entries would immediately pop into the log.
Don't know what more to do now.
Wasted 12 hours on this conundrum today.

Navigating to the mounted drive also works fine:
me@moode:/var/lib/mpd/music/NAS $ ls
Audio
And I can perfectly navigate around and list all the different contents.

Rebooting Moode after having waited until forever, the MPD process is blocking reboot until 1:35 has passed.

I'd start by trying the moodeutl command to see what is discovered on your Samba network

Code:

# Scan for SMB hosts
moodeutl -c              -C            

# Scan for SMB shares
moodeutl -C [host | IP address]

Examples:

Code:

pi@moode9:~ $ moodeutl -c
Scanning for SMB hosts...
trx.home                192.168.1.xxx           SMB version: 3.1.1

pi@moode9:~ $ moodeutl -C 192.168.1.xxx
Scanning SMB host...
Playlists
SDCard
Music

Help

Code:

pi@moode9:~ $ moodeutl --help

For Library issues:
- Examine the MPD log. It records all files that are added to the MPD database and any errors that it encounters.
- Try CLEAR Library tag cache on the Library Config screen

You should also reboot and post the moode startup log in case there is something that might provide some insights into what might be happening.

The log can be viewed via the SSH command moodeutl -l or downloaded via the Logs section in System Config, or via Menu, System info from  any of the Config screens. The startup log will be at the end of System info output.

Thanks Tim.
Unfortunately the Mac OS that hosts these SMB shares doesn't announce shares on the network, so -c and -C don't help.
I don't think I can be more clear than stating that it worked on 9.2.6 and I updated yesterday after seeing the great news of Airplay art and metadata now showing (which pleased me immensely btw! Thank you dearly for that  ) and after the update to 9.3.4 I could no longer play a thing off the SMB shares.
I've even tried a clean install of 9.3.4 to another SD card. Same deal: Thumbs are generated just fine but no audio files are being scanned.
To be clear: The shares are mounted and the file systems and files are 100% accessible to the system (it's generating thumbs) but the process that is supposed to scan for music files never gets on with the task, instead it spinds forever.

I've looked at the code changes in the past 3 weeks and I'm greatly confused by nvme+SMB getting mixed in together in the new function, but I'm not enough of a linux shark to decipher if it makes sense.
My best guess based on what's happening is that MPD is looking for the files in the wrong place since it keeps spinning forever but never logs a single line about scanning.

Restarting, notable events:
Failed unmounting mnt-NAS-Audio.mount
Job mpd.service stop is unresponsive until being killed after 95 seconds.

Examine the MPD log. It records all files that are added to the MPD database and any errors that it encounters.

That's the point I'm trying to share - it never even logs a single line.

Anyways, here's the boot log:

If it's any help or hint, the scanning adds the very first folder (with thumb) to the library, but no files are in it and then never gets further.

Downgrading to a clean 9.3.2 did nothing to fix issues.
Testing 9.3.0 shortly and lastly rolling back to 9.2.6

The trouble we have with issues like these is we have to repro the environment in which they occur.

I believe all the SMB servers I'm been using to source music files either regularly or for test purposes to my moOde players still work with moOde 9.3.4. I'll double check and report on them late today.

I don't have access to either a MacOS or a recent Synology box (to name two systems which have recently been mentioned). Can only sit by and watch the posts fly by about them. They often lack any details about the sourcing system---make, model, OS version, etc.

Regards,

Great news! 9.3.0 works out of the box with a clean image.

[boomblip]

Assuming that MPD handles scanning (?):
My best guess is that it is related to MPD version > 0.24, as I can navigate the mounts just fine from ssh and the thumbnail generation works perfectly on the later releases.
It is only the audio file scanning that breaks. Everything else runs fine.
SMB dialect / version does not _seem_ to make a difference.

During the many attempts back and forth I've seen log entries complaining about memory which made the player start playing silence instead of radio.
I've only once succeeded in getting the scanning to scan 10ish folders while I was going back and forth with reboots, library regen, refresh library, faffing with the smb VERS param. And I have no idea what magic combo of coincidents convinced the mpd scanning to actually progress.

More testing news: 9.3.0 with all the post-release patches and after reboot still works as expected with library updates scanning SMB shares.

I've read the entire diff between 9.3.0 and 9.3.2 and I see nothing obvious sticking out.
I've run apt-get update and upgrade and all still good on 9.3.0.
x@moode:~ $ uname -r
6.6.74+rpt-rpi-2712

Could it be kernel 6.12.x causing grief? Can I update that via ssh and see if it breaks things?
Edit: "Found sudo apt update && sudo apt install --reinstall raspi-firmware linux-image-rpi-2712" which seems to update to 6.12.25. Will see if it breaks the scanning.
