4.4.0 browse music files does not work with disabled tags

[parkmino]

Describe the bug mympd 4.4.0 for ubuntu 18.04 does not browse music files. The package was downloaded from openSUSE Build Service. Clicking 'Browse' does not change the browser's url unlike 'Playback', 'Queue' and 'Search'.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click 'Browse'

Expected behavior Browse music folders and files.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 18.04
• Browser: Firefox and Chrome
• Version: the latest

Additional context 4.2.1 version worked fine, but it is not available from the repository any more. Please let me know any check points on my side.

Are there any errors in the javascript console?

[parkmino]

If you mean terminal errors, no.

[jcorporation]

I meant the javascript console in your browser (Firefox: Webdeveloper -> Webconsole).

But I see in your output that myMPD finds no enabled tags. That should be the problem.

1) Can you post your mpd.conf?

2) Please also set the log_level = "verbose" in mpd.conf and post the mpd.log after restarting myMPD

3) Please try the tagtypes command on your mpd manually:

telnet localhost 6600
tagtypes

Output should be similar to:

tagtype: Artist
tagtype: Album
tagtype: AlbumArtist
tagtype: Title
tagtype: Track
tagtype: Name
tagtype: Genre
tagtype: Date
tagtype: Composer
tagtype: Performer
OK

Aha!

1. In mpd.conf, metadata_to_use "none" Concerning tags, I do not want to enable any tags. ympd has no problem with browsing music directory.

3. $ mpd --stdout --no-daemon --verbose /etc/mpd.conf
   $ telnet localhost 6600

If tags are mandatory, never mind this issue.

[jcorporation]

Enabled tags are mandatory for myMPD to work correctly. For minimum myMPD functionality, following tags must be enabled in mpd.conf metadata_to_use "AlbumArtist,Artist,Album,Title,Track"

You should also enable playlists: e.g. playlist_directory "/var/lib/mpd/playlists"

I opened #69 to support mpd configurations with less features enabled.

Why you don't want to enable any tags?

[parkmino]

Disabling tags reduces overhead. It helps with huge library and reduces time to update library. For me, showing just folders and files are good enough like foobar2000 in windows. There has been no problem with any other mpd clients with tags disabled. I remember the the previous 4.2.1 version has worked fine.

[parkmino]

If browsing is disabled with tags disabled, I have no reason to use mympd. I think that you do not need to bother with #69.

[jcorporation]

Only the browse database tab would be disabled, because it is useless without tags. Browse filesystem would work furthermore as with ympd.

[parkmino]

OK, I got it and thanks for your support!
