[SOLVED] Odd mpd problem with database browsing vs metadata browsing

apastuszak · 2016-05-30 04:52:07

I'm having an odd problem with mpd not displaying any of my mp3 files when browsing by metadata. I can only see my FLAC files.

Browsing by database shows me everything, and everything plays just fine.

Anyone else ever see this?

I further experimented by adding some ogg files, and they worked fine. So it appears it may have something to do with Vorbis Comments vs ID3 tags.

apastuszak · 2016-09-04 05:49:17

I attempted to ask this question in the mpd forums and didn't get anywhere. I am trying to find out if mpd was compiled with id3 tag support. Anyone know how I can check this?

You most likely didn't get any help, because you provide ZERO information.

ok, first of all: are you using mpd from the repositories?

And please show your mpd config and the output of mpd --version.
Also show the output of mutagen-inspect FILE from one of the mp3 files.

Using MPD from the repositories.

mpd --version

Working on the mutagen. I'm pretty sure mpd in the repository is compiled without ID3 support.

And using the beet info plugin I get this:

Beets uses mutagen. If there is a better tool that beets to produce ID3 out for an MP3 file. then let me know.

You can check the build files yourself here: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … ckages/mpd

ID3 support isn't explicitly enabled in the PKGBUILD, but libid3tag is listed as a dependency. If you build it in a clean chroot, the configure script detects and enables id3tag.

[...]
checking for ID3TAG... yes
configure: auto-detected id3tag
[...]
g++ [...] -o src/mpd src/Main.o libmpd.a [...] -lid3tag [...]

You haven't specified which front-end you're using for mpd. Have you tried others?

I have tried:

mpc
gmpc
qmpd
cantata
ario
sonata

The files show up in the database. I just can't see them in the metadata browser.

So,should I file a bug to enable ID3 tag support in mpd?

apastuszak · 2016-09-04 15:50:03

I just discovered that mopidy has ID3 tag support set up properly. So, I have a pretty good workaround using that. And it seems to do bit-perfect audio also.

No, I was saying that it is enabled, just not explicitly.

Rasi · 2016-09-04 18:04:21

ldd /usr/bin/mpd | grep id3

to see if your mpd has id3tag support

apastuszak · 2016-09-05 04:55:09

[andy@new-host-2 ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/mpd | grep id3
	libid3tag.so.0 => /usr/lib/libid3tag.so.0 (0x00007fe189626000)

I assume this means I have ID3 tag support compiled in.

EDIT: If anyone else is running mpd from extra, can they tell me if they see their MP3s under the metadata section of GMPC?

I do.

Please post your .mpdconf (or /etc/mpd.conf if you're running mpd as a system daemon).

EDIT: Do you have a mix of MP3s and FLAC, or are you all MP3?

WorMzy · 2016-09-05 22:26:36

My collection is predominantly MP3, but I have a few hundred FLACs too.

The only thing that jumps out at me there is that your music directory is on nfs. Could you check whether a local music directory has the same problem?

apastuszak · 2016-09-05 22:27:28

I just came to the same conclusion. I am going to test that in about a half hour.

EDIT: Copied a subset of music local and it did show the MP3s in my metadata. I am copying that same subset up to my server now to confirm it's the mpd storage plugin and not some corrupt file, since I only used a subset of my music.

EDIT: The developer has confirmed this issue is fixed in 0.20 GIT HEAD. So, we just need to wait for 0.20 to get released.

Marking as solved.

I've got the same problem with Arch on a RPi and my music on a samba share. I wonder if it's worth trying sshfs instead.

@apastuszak Is there an upstream bug report for this? If not, how did you know the developer has fixed this? I'd like to make sure the fix is going to fix samba too.

The developer responded to a post I made on the mpd forums.
