Period in artist name/directory name isn't included

maxengel commented 6 years ago

For example, if I have a directory labeled R.E.M., the contents aren't being evaluated for inclusion in the library. The share is mounted via SMB. It has showed up in previous versions of Volumio, but seems to not be working in the latest update.

Can you please specify what version, and if you know it, a version that was working? That will hugely narrow down the search space.

maxengel commented 6 years ago

It is not working with version 2.449. I can't say for certain when it was working. If there is a way to rollback the version/downgrade, I'm happy to cycle through versions to find one that does work.

xipmix commented 6 years ago

Thanks that is useful.

Some initial things to check

permissions on the folder (maybe mpd can't read it when it is scanning the directory tree)
whether the SMB mount is somehow mangling/hiding the path to the R.E.M. directory

To do that:

turn on ssh access

login and run a few commsnds

$ cssh volumio@<ipaddress>
volumio@volumio$ df                   # this will display the path the mounted share
volumio@volumio$ ls /path/to/share/   # check to seee your R.E.M folder is listed

Not sure about rolling back to abitrary earlier images. The url schema is easy to understand; the issue is what the release version numbers were - this does not seem to be recorded anywhere in the project files. Perhaps try this one (the url is a guess, may not work) and leave it at that. http://updates.volumio.org/pi/volumio/2.413/volumio-2.413-2018-06-21-pi.img.zip

I tested with an NFS mount on 2.413 (see below).

It works ok on artist names that have '.' in them - they show up in the browse->musiclibrary->nas listing and in the artists listing. It does require a 'rescan' and a refresh of the browse page - e.g. navigate to playback and then back to browse.

After much palaver (we really need to make smb mounting easier) I was able to mount a test smb share, and it too saw the artist folder named j._S.Bach. So the change is probably between 2.413 (june) and 2.449 (august). I'll try to reprocue on 2.449. when I have a bit more time.

xipmix commented 6 years ago

This is a guess but possibly changing the metadata parsing library has produced this issue?

Thanks for digging into this. A metadata parsing issue would be logical.

With regards to access, here is the SSH info: volumio@volumio:/mnt/NAS/Media/Acoustic Sounds Super HiRez$ ls B.B. King Elvis Presley Marvin Gaye The Animals The Rolling Stones Bob Dylan Eric Clapton Miles Davis The Beach Boys Counting Crows John Coltrane R.E.M. The Doors

Interesting wrinkles: I was first trying access to a server running SMB 3.02. When I switched to a server running 2.1, Volumio did find the R.E.M. directory (although when browsing the name was mangled).

I'm going to try using NFS instead and see what happens, but it seems to be an issue with how SMB is implemented.

xipmix commented 6 years ago

You can probably address this by disabling 'name mangling' (see links below) but it will be interesting to see if the NFS mount behaves the same, please let us know.

maxengel commented 6 years ago

NFS performed much better (no mangling, etc.). I'm going to stick with NFS for now since I'm only in a Linux/Mac world anyways.

Also, the mangling only manifested when browsing by directory and not once the metadata had been fetched and the library built. Also, due to the issue with SMB v3+, I'll wait to test fixing mangling until that issue is resolved.
