Snakeoil 1.2.6 Beta 5

[agent_kith]

I probably say this every time, but this is likely going to be the last beta release before we go official. This version should fix MPD crashes on newer Ubuntu Studio, and also should fix browse copy/replace issues.

Unfortunately yet to test this fully. Trying to balance between resting my body and getting this release out. While I am almost asymptomatic when it comes to Covid, really have to treat this  condition seriously and make sure things don't get worse. Stuck in a room for the past few days, there's very little I can do other than get this release out.. So, here it is.

Enjoy, and let me know if there are any issues. Did not maintain any changelog between beta 4 and 5, but here's the milestone for everything that's been changed.

Happy listening!

Thank you AK for the update.  BUT most importantly, take care of yourself FIRST.

When you are better, please look at Browse again (Sorry!).  I am not able to use Browse to copy or replace any music files; tried both flac and dsf, individual files, folders etc.  Playlist works mostly, with long playlist with hundreds of tracks not working.

Copying music and playlist works fine on my side here. How big is your RAM partition? Can you confirm if the RAM partition is big enough to accommodate the files you want to copy?

Will see if I can add some status to the console log, at least that will/should give more feedback on what the problem is.

Have lots of space! Tried ramfs as well. A background log will help.

This is very strange, what about the other 2 versions of MPD, do they all crash as well?

Can you SSH to your snakeoil PC, and run the following command:
 

Code:

sha256sum /var/www/players/mpd-v23/mpd

Do you get the same results?

Hi, AK, last night I've installed Ubuntu Studio 22.04 twice to try, both got the same result.  I've tried MPD, 23.5 & 21.25, got the same result.

For the sha256sum, it returned:
1ba7a9d0fe60e4927e8b92212b66de3f00c81059394ecf1c7256a37f1a0b394f  /var/www/players/mpd-v23/mpd

Did you install via the installer?

Can you download the fw file on your Ubuntu Studio, and retry MPD and see if that works? Once you have installed the firmware, verify the sha256 checksum is 54b84a652d49217043b9e24605d79322995359192cda8adcd76bc305fa1eace2.

This checksum should work.

In the meantime, I'll dig into the build scripts and see why installer is still using the old MPD versions . If it's using the wrong MPDs in the installer, chances are it'll be using the old WebApp also.. My bad. Think it's better to rebuild everything, then relying on old cache.

But let's wait try the firmware first to confirm. Thanks.

Update: Can confirm installer is still using old version of MPDs... Investigating to find out why, please try and update the same version firmware and see if MPD is working now. It should.

FYI,
1) I install with installer
2) check sum returned: 54b84a652d49217043b9e24605d79322995359192cda8adcd76bc305fa1eace2  /var/www/players/mpd-v23/mpd

After flashed with 1.2.6 B5 FW, using MPD 0.23.5
1) Mount : work (NAS)
2) MPD: work
3) MPD library scan: work BUT CAN'T interpret tag as usual.  Tried both 0.23, 0.21 MPD, both can find all the tracks but can't recognise the tag and classified them.  99.9% of tracks becomes unknown to mpd clients.    And one of my mpd client reported this.

4) MPD play music: work
5) MyMPD: doesn't work (it doesn't matter to me at all.... haha)
