Moode hangs up

[Nutul]

Now, with a fresh install... do not touch anything.
Just plug the reduced-library USB stick, do an "update library", or a "regenerate" one, and monitor your system.
After the library is updated, and you also see all the thumbnail images in your library, take the MPD log (/var/log/mpd/log) as fast as you can, or at least before the system eventually freezes on you... as it may contain some clues.

Ok, I have done a fresh install and re-configured as before and all is working fine - no freezing.

I have installed my 'reduced' libray and then looked at the mpd log after an "update library" and it consists, basically, of a set of 'update: added ' lines for each track, followed by:

Code:

followed by an equivalent set of 'update: updating' lines, and finally:

Code:

2025-07-01T11:11:14 ffmpeg/luodat: Format luodat detected only with low score of 1, misdetection possible!

I have created a system backup, so finally I need to install my full library and keep my fingers crossed.

Those errors indicate a failed attempt at opening the audio device.
The other errors are about inconsistent / unrecognized metadata, and an internet radio station unreachable...

Now, remove the thumb-drive with the reduced lib, do a library regenerate (this will clean it...), then plug your big-mama-library in and do a regenerate / update whatsoever.
If you can get the same logs, after it has completed, it would be very good, as it could give us some clue, shall the system start to behave like it did...

Looks like Aussie station 2BOB has changing its streaming service. The URL in moOde's curated list used to work fine here  but it now fails the moodeutl -u test. According to radio-browser.info, the current MP3 URL is

Code:

http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/api/livestream-redirect/2BOB.mp3

Just tried it and it seems to be playing fine.

Keeping up with these kinds of changes on the station end is a never-ending challenge.

Do other stations in moOde's curated list play as expected? How about the SOMA stations? They've been very reliable for me.

On another point, you said "I have installed my 'reduced' libray and then looked at the mpd log after an "update library" and it consists, basically, of a set of 'update: added ' lines for each track, followed by...."

Does this mean that many/most of your tracks load and play ok?

I don't recognize the "luodat" format mentioned by ffmpeg. It suggests to me you have some badly formed tracks in your collection which ffmpeg can't figure out (I'm echoing Al here!).

ETA - According to radio-browser.info, 2BOB is now also streaming in AAC

Code:

http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/api/livestream-redirect/2BOBAAC.aac

I tried it quickly and it seems to play also. No time ATM to provide the altered station info for the station editor in moOde.
