FRITZBOX NAS Stopped Working

@Kodawari cue file is creating problems, please try to remove it from your NAS and check again

/NAS/FB/FLAC/Stars/There is No Love in Fluorescent Light [2017]/There is No Love in Fluorescent Light.cue

So, I plugged into ethernet and moved it to another location in the house (with a different dac).

Initial log (was still fiddling with settings/wondering why it wouldn’t play).
Music DB went blank at 272 albums, and has stayed blank.

After a reboot, audio now working again.
Says 179 albums, have hit update and it got as far as 276 albums before going blank again.

Log below.

Thanks.

Ahh, I see a .cue file there causing problems, will try removing it and updating again.

Removed 40 .cue files from the NAS and rebooted because MPD crashed.

Update - it got to 179 again, so I don’t think it has any issues with those files. I had to update after this and it’s still scanning (slowly - despite being on ethernet).

Success! - All 505 albums now scanned. Looks like a .cue file issue.

Looks promising apart from the MPD crashes.

So, to get NAS from a Fritzbox working we need to:

Delete all .cue files (not required on v3.512)
Add ‘noserverino’ to the share options (also not required on v3.512).

Thanks.

apparently the new MPD is much more sensitive to .cue files that are not formatted properly, the old one was less sensitive. Good finding!

I originally thought it was switching streams causing issues with MPD, but after removing the .cue files, it’s stable - think that was causing it.

Stopping, starting, changing webstream/NAS music, etc. no issues with MPD.

Happy that v3.629 is working as expected wih the above settings (.cue files and ‘noserverino’).

When I came up with the “noserverino” parameter, this was because searching the internet shows lot of other Fritzbox NAS users suffering the same issue with other applications (not volumio-releated). So this issue appears to be Fritzbox related, not handling newer kernel/cifs versions very well.
