I cannot add individual tracks to the queue, only albums

cjc15153 · January 28, 2019, 1:07am

Hi,
I’ve been using Volumio for over a year and am generally happy, especially with the support for HifiBerry—but I have never been able to add individual tracks to the queue, only entire albums. This is true whether I am browsing through the Music Library, Artists, or Albums.

My install does have one non-standard parameter: my music_directory is set to “/home/volumio/VolumioHome”, rather than “/var/lib/mpd/music” in mpd.conf . The home directory is on a separate partition of the SD card.

Could this be the issue? If so, how can I separate my music collection so it doesn’t get wiped when I do something to the OS?

Queuing the track or trying to play directly leads to the results below:

So, what’s the scenario?

Thanks

You basically changed paths, which is how Volumio retrieves files. This is the main reason that your setup does not work

cjc15153 · January 29, 2019, 6:16am

I have changed the path to the default and rebuilt the db and I have the exact same behavior. I even copied a song to /var/lib/mpd/music, changed its group to audio, and gave everybody permission to read it. Still, it will only play if the album is queued.

11M -rwxr-xr-x 1 root audio 11M Jan 29 05:59 /var/lib/mpd/music/03 - Murderous (Album Version).mp3

The rest of the songs are still in /var/lib/mpd/music/VolumioHome, which is now bound via fstab to my home directory/Music (where all songs belong to the audio group and can be read by that group).

The Volumio and MPD logs do not produce much info.

volumio · January 29, 2019, 8:38am

Still you’re using a custom setup: music is meant to be mounted on /mnt/NAS or /mnt/USB or /mnt/INTERNAL . Only then it will work properly. I suggest you to start from scratch and mount your music inside those folders

cjc15153 · January 30, 2019, 3:59am

Thank you. I’ll do that. Obviously the problem has something to do with my setup—I probably changed something else and forgot about it, or ran apt-get dup or something.
EDIT:
After googling and futzing, everything is working, via the following in fstab:

/home/volumio/Music     /mnt/INTERNAL   none    bind    0 0

I’m not sure why Volumio was able to play albums with my earlier symlink-to-home kludge, but that is among the least compelling of the world’s unsolved mysteries.
