Hi, and thanks for the quick answer.

Running the two commands shows "Updating database with ID 1". I can head
the hard drive spinning but when I try to run `emms-smart-browse`, I
only have one sub-sub folder and nothing is added. Music plays fine for
this folder, though.

Trying to use `emms-player-update-directory` fails with "Could not
update database".

Running `emms-player-mpd-update-all-reset-cache` shows almost immediately
"Updating finished" but is stuck with "Dumping MusicPD data to
cache...".".

Cheers,
