[BETA] v0.1.5-pre-release-20161203

[agent_kith]

IMPORTANT
This is a firmware only. You will need to install the Snakeoil OS onto your computer first before you can apply this firmware. To install the Snakeoil OS please download the ISO from this section: Link

NOTES
First 'proper' release after the migration to my new development machine, and move to a new host. This is probably gonna be the last pre-release, the next release will be the official 0.15 with proper ISO. So please test this as much as you can as only bug fixes is likely to be done until the release of the ISO. Look how easy it for me to do the changelog now. . Remember to check out the new read only issues tracker here (Check out the cool changelog link).

The main feature of this update is to aid troubleshooting, if you have any issues, and when asked, please use this feature to attach a troubleshooting file (either email it to me, or attach it in this forum). This is available in the System menu.
 

Still a bit early, but have a merry christmas everyone, and happy new year!

UPDATE
Users of these beta firmwares, please update to the .2 release now. 

• snakeoil-0.1.5-pre-release-20161202
  
• snakeoil-0.1.5-pre-release-20161203
  

I suck at doing these beta releases. If you are using the above firmwares, and have issues with the web app after reboot, please SSH into your Snakeoil machine and run the following (enter your snakeoil password when prompted):

Code:

sudo rm -f /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/50-snakeoil.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

then upgrade to the .2 point release, and see if that works.

Gogi is right.. Please stand by while I re-build a new firmware with fixed permissions.

Update, first post updated with MPD fix. Still need to iron out the bug reporting process.

Doesn't work for me.

Can you ssh into the machine, and run the following commands?

Code:

sudo rm -f /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/50-snakeoil.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

 
Do you get the following message?

Code:

* Starting web server lighttpd [ OK ]

If yes, update to the snakeoil-0.1.5-pre-release-20161203.2 firmware, reboot the computer, and see if you still see the same problem when browsing?

My apologies for this bug. Seems the more I try to improve the quality and testing, the worse it gets.

So far the logs don't show anything that's out of the ordinary. Don't think connecting the mobile phone to the computer will cause issues, but disconnect it and try to do a rescan and see if that works better.

Also, can you try switching to mpd-git and see if the problem is the same? What about mpd-v17?

Do you get a partial music database, or none at all?

After turning on verbose logging mode, I found that crash is caused by *.ape files. Some of them are valid music files but most are hidden ._*.ape files. Mac OS creates such files automatically.
MPD v19 and git are trying to process files and crash. While v17 just ignores it and db update works:

Code:

ignoring unrecognized file test/_apple.test.ape
update: finished

Sample file was sent by email.

Thank you for trying to resolve it!
