[SOLVED] Can't play music
« on: August 09, 2010, 12:52:19 am »
Just did a fresh install from snapshot. Copied mp3s and dvds etc back across the network to the internal hdd from my network backup.

Mostly OK but I have a weird problem. Videos are fine but my core/mds crash if I select audio and then any artist. The screen goes black as if I've clicked 'quick reload router' and the router reloads.

Any suggestions?

What happens if you retry it after it died?

When I click on an artist the router dies and appears to do a 'quick reload router'. The screen goes blank and the message 'reconnecting to dcerouter as requested' appears on the screen. After this the main screen appears with the overlaid menus.

DVD snapshot 23227 from 2nd August. Using phenigmas script to enable local repo.

Hi posde,

Like I just said, it reloads the router again. Videos are fine, mythtv is fine, audio > artist crashes the router every time.

My reason for asking is, that the only time I have seen crashes during display is with timeouts on MySQL. And if you revisit the page, the result most probably is in the cache, and can be served much faster.

Could you filebin a dump of your pluto_media db.

Thanks posde. Looks like it's not just me. Found this.
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/784

I tried deleting all audio files in case I had corrupt files, resynchronised etc and added a single album ... but same problem. Hopefully there'll be a fix soon.

Might be mplayer related. Here is a small section from the mplayer log from the moment I clicked on a performer.

When you copy/move your files onto your hard drive, do you put them into a folder with a folder lock?

Otherwise UpdateMedia might scan the files wrongly.

Mplayer has no bearing on playing music. The symptom is elsewhere. Check your DCERouter log.

@posde
That's what I thought, something to do with copying the files across the network and a bad media scan, but when I saw the trac ticket I thought it must be a wider issue. How do I check for a folder lock?

@Thom
Good point  :-[ I'll trawl my log files again.

No locks found. Doesn't rule out bad parameters though.

Weird, I can play music using the search feature. This is the same behaviour someone described in the trac ticket I found.

Looks like it's failing on the 'Get Attributes For Media' line in the DCERouter.log.

Too tired now. Will look again tomorrow. Here's the log at the exact moment I clicked the performer.
Code: [Select]

I have the same issue with the 2 Aug snapshot: clicking on any artist name resets but if I just click on Play All it starts playing the first track, so I'm guessing it is some kind of database issue. Hope that helps, I'll watch this thread to see if anyone has a fix....
