Hey Tim, thanks for your response. I updated to 2.5+ and I changed the DB path in the config file. Restart and....I'm having the same problem others are having; The minidlna status page shows that it's scanning files successfully, but the library pane just says "unknown". Any ideas as to what I might have done wrong?
Adrian: I think you might be running into the same problem I had---your library is too big for the default db directory. If you browse to diyAudio server HTTPS page it should show how many files are in your library; if it says -1, then you definitely are having this problem. Tim mentions here how to try and fix this, but this appears to cause other issues with displaying the library pane. I'm trying to suss these out now.
I like Moode so much i have it in 2 systems, and soon 3 when my Aya2014 dem arrives.
On both systems i can control playback via wireless with mupeace or other app but can t access diyAudio server HTTPS page unless ethernet cable connected.
Same with old and test version of moode.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
The Library panel uses the MPD database. The miniDLNA database is separate from the MPD database and does not show up in either Browse or Library panels. It's meant to be consumed by UPnP clients.

I'm afraid my newbie is showing! I've tried updating the mpd database; still having the same problem with library view. I'll see if I can figure this out myself. Can you tell me how to get the library viewer to generate a log?
Hi,
/var/www/debug.log
/var/www/debug.conf
The default debug flags for the Library loader are set to log a total count of files processed for example below is debug.log from one of my Pi's after pressing Library tab. This Pi has USB attached HDD and is on WiFi. Note the elapsed time of 7 seconds (diff between when the flags and count records are logged). It takes 1-2 more seconds to transfer the json array from server to Browser and display in Library panel.
root@moode:~# cat /var/www/debug.log
2015-12-31 21:59:13 loadAllLib() flags= y,n,n,n,3
2015-12-31 21:59:20 loadAllLib() count= 17955 files
The y/n flags in debug.conf mean the following:
y,n,n,n,3
| | | | +-- method for generating flat view of MPD database
| | | +-- organizer: file name
| | +-- loader: file name and each element (tag)
| +-- loader: file name
+-- total count
If you are seeing the flags= record but not the count= record then the loader died before finishing.
If this is the case then set the second flag to "y" to log each file name processed by the loader. It may provide an indication of how far the loader made it before dying.
If u want to examine/modify the loader code look in /var/www/inc/playerlib.php

Tim
Thanks for your quick reply. When I view the log, I see the following:
This correlates with the library view pane, which says my library contains only 1 file. I can browse my attached USB drive, create playlists, etc. so I'm not really sure whether this is a problem with the viewer or MPD.
Code:
2016-01-01 19:30:32 loadAllLib() flags= y,n,n,n,3
2016-01-01 19:30:33 loadAllLib() count= 1 filesThis correlates with the library view pane, which says my library contains only 1 file. I can browse my attached USB drive, create playlists, etc. so I'm not really sure whether this is a problem with the viewer or MPD.
Hi,
Set the second flag to "y" in debug.conf and see how far the loader gets. Just remember to reset it to "n" after you are done testing otherwise a huge debug.log file might be created each time u press the Library tab.

Tim
The symptom "http://moode" resolves on wired ethernet but not on WiFi suggests a network config issue.
On WiFi can u "http://ip_address" to Moode Pi?

Same result:

I tried changing all of the n's to y's and got this:

Hi,
Very odd, not a single file name logged.
Email tim at moodeaudio dot org and I'll help troubleshoot 🙂

Tim
Tim, just so other users are aware of my fix I'm posting here. The problem may stem from having a large amount of .aif files in a library. I opened up /etc/mpd.conf and added the following value:
max_output_buffer_size "81920"
Restarted MPD and library pane now loads just fine after about 15 seconds of work. Per you, changing any MPD settings in the moode interface will delete this tweak, so it's best to have everything else set up to your liking before you try this.
