[SOLVED] MPD issues with 0.1.5

[Bromf]

Ok that works.. file exists and metadata is as required.

1. Connect a keyboard and monitor to your machine.
   
2. Reboot the computer with liveCD.
   
3. Select memtest.
   
4. Let the system run and wait for at least 1 pass to complete.
   
5. Does memtest report any errors?
   

If it passes the test, then do this. 

1. With just that  single offending file in /media/music (move the other files away from /media/music)
   
2. Do a database rescan.
   
3. Do you see a total of 1 file (or more?). Or did MPD crash?
   
4. Next select this song and play. Does it work?
   
5. Rescan the database multiple times, does it crash?
   

Memtest run for several hours and allgood.

Started MPD and everything works, database updates and files play. :-)

Looking back I think I see my problem .....oops.. I have several different players in different locations and move usb drives between them. Mostly these are formatted ntfs for compatibility accross the different os'

One os has problems with ntfs and I use a dedicated drive formatted vfat.

Somehow..my big mistake!... that drive had been put in the pool with the others...Thinking the drives were all ntfs I have been adding it as such to the music mount. Of course it fails to start, mpd throws errors and can't update.

Discovered this when I went back to LMS and did a database rescan and couldn't find any files !!!

Reformatted the flashdrive,added files and now mpd works as expected.

My apologies for imposing upon your time and efforts
