Hi, for testing purposes I put about 10 MP3 files in the musicBox directory. They appear fine in the artist / album sections and can be played without issues. However, when I search for that artist (or substring) with the search set to “Local files”, the system does not return any result and is s…

Something very similar came up in #mopidy earlier. Musicbox uses the uri prefix 'local:' for searching local files but the sql local library wants something slightly different. If you change to the json local library (and rescan) it should work again. Not sure who needs to address this... surfaces…

Hi Nick, I’m not sure I understand. How do we change to the local json file? Also, if we rescan, does it need to process all the files again? Thanks…

See here: Network folders are showing up empty in MusicBox 0.5.1rc Seems to be simple change in settings-ini Jochen

@kingosticks : The local: prefix will be addressed in https://github.com/tkem/mopidy-local-sqlite/issues/44

Yes it’s a one line change in settings.ini and yes it has to rescan all the files again. Annoying I know, but it should then at least work correctly. @tkem , can the sql library be made compatible with the json library in this respect?

Sure, that’s why this is labelled as “bug” in the github issue :wink:

Sorry, missed that. Just wanted to make sure you saw this.

No problem; I’ll try my best to provide a bugfix version within the next couple of days. Now that I got MusicBox up and running (sort of), I’ll also do more testing on that platform.

Anybody who wants to give the sqlite library another try, please log into MusicBox as root and run pip install --upgrade Mopidy-Local-SQLite After a reboot, searching in local files (only) should work as expected.

Same issue here, I hadn’t noticed it wasn’t working until I tried isolating searches to local files.
