It might be fixed now, try downloading again.

That fixed it for me!

Yes, it works now. Thank you for the lighting-fast fix!

I'm also having issues on 1.3.1 I have about 7,000 files, about 175GB, almost all flac (a few mp3 here and there).
1. Database update never seems to finish
2. Music skips during database index (wired headphones with bluetooth off) is this known?

I wonder if we could add a button in the database settings page to "cancel indexing". Right now I have auto-indexing turned off and last time I tried to re-index it was preventing me from listening to music so I force rebooted the tangara which killed the indexing.

Unsure how good/complete my db index is now. Currently in the process of updating my sync and then I'll try to kick off another db sync and see if I can get a successful one.

Should I install the custom firmware located in this thread?

---

Some interesting extra info:
If I open the database page, exit, enter back in, exit etc I can see the db size slowly increase to ~10MB then jump back down to ~5MB then slowly climb back up to 10 over and over again.

I received my Tangara a few days ago and finally got around to unboxing and copying some files. I have a 1 TB sd card and I had originally copied my entire music library and some podcasts (~520 GB). I updated the firmware to 1.3.1. But, I can't get the database to index properly. I seems to show it increasing in size to 6.6 Mb and then starts going down again. I was also getting random rebooting throughout the indexing process.

Sometimes it detects the SD card, other times it doesn't. I shows random Artists and songs. I've now removed most of the files, keeping about 80 GB and the database, when it detects the sd card, shows the wrong artists and tags for files that are now deleted.

When I see the DB icon, I've been leaving the device to try and allow it to update. I'm getting mixed results.

Try deleting the .tangara-db folder on the SD card and rescanning.

I deleted the database folder and got the same result, I'll try the patched firmware next to see if I can see what's going on.

I'll do the same tomorrow night.

Thanks! I did try this. It did appear to be working and most of the artists and podcasts appeared. Once the database scan was finished it showed only a few songs and no Podcasts. Then, it wouldn't see the SD card anymore. I'll try a different SD card and try the debugging version of the firmware.

[tebriel]

I finished my re-scan using the patched 1.3.1 firmware and after a couple of false starts I got a successful db run

> ...snip
> W (2386492) DB: Media type: 1
> W (2386532) DB: Finished processing file: /Music/“Weird Al” Yankovic/The Essential “Weird Al” Yankovic/37 White & Nerdy.flac
> W (2386532) DB: processed 0 old tracks and 6502 new tracks in 2338 seconds (0ms per old, 359ms per new)

One of the things I had a hard time with was deleting the tangara db folder. I first mounted the device in disk mode and deleted it there, but then the db tab still reported size of ~5mb.
I finally ejected the card, hard rebooted the tangara, mounted the card in my sd card reader, deleted the folder, then inserted the card back into the tangara and only then did it report ~0kb size db file. This may have been the final solution for me (not using the patched firmware) but hard to say.

I've dropped 1.3.1 standard back on my device and we'll see how it goes!

I don't think the firmware was written to handle .tangara-db being deleted while the device is running. If you're deleting .tangara-db, yeah, I'd definitely recommend removing the SD card and doing that from a computer with a card reader.

Yes. I’ve been powering down the device, removing the SD card, and using a computer to delete the db file. I did notice that I had some .m4a (aac and alac) files and embedded album art, so I’ll be removing those next and seeing if those help the process.

Came into this thread because I have the same problem.

FWIW, I can verify going through with some of the directions here doesn't seem to solve the issue:

1. Downloaded/flashed the patched `.tra` from https://forum.cooltech.zone/showthread.p...915#pid915
   
2. Deleted the .database folder with the card mounted to my PC
   
3. With card back in tangara, rebuilt database
   

Took a while to build my db, which has a bigger size now but I'm still not seeing Artists/Albums/etc that I have recently added.

I'm a bit new on this, so wondering if I can check some logfiles. I will try and inspect the database itself when I have more time as well.

If it helps, this sounds a lot like my issue/setup: https://forum.cooltech.zone/showthread.p...839#pid839

I have a large library and a 512GB microSD, anyways.

Oof - tried updating the database again a bit ago and at some point it got stuck.. my tangara has been frozen on a screen now for >1hr with the backlight on. Unresponsive.

Luckily when I check dmesg I see the device, as well as when I check /dev/tty* after plugging it in. But I'm worried it is going to be stuck like this until the battery dies?

EDIT: nevermind, esptool.py run saved my bacon and its back to normal state, but database is still not showing the latest albums like before
