Troubleshooting

This page lists common problems when using SEMusicBoxMaker and NordVader Synced Music Player.

The player does not show tracks

Check that:

  • the music pack is enabled in the world mod list;
  • NordVader Synced Music Player is enabled in the same world;
  • the music pack was prepared for this player;
  • the pack contains sound definitions;
  • the pack contains library metadata;
  • the pack contains audio files;
  • the pack data was refreshed after import or rename.

Artists or albums are missing

Check that every track has:

  • artist name;
  • album name;
  • track title;
  • SoundId;
  • duration data.

Then refresh the pack data in SEMusicBoxMaker and test again.

Track titles include artist names

This usually happens when the source files were named like:

Artist - Track.mp3

The final title should be:

Track

not:

Artist - Track

Use the rename tools in SEMusicBoxMaker to clean titles before publishing.

A track does not play

Check that:

  • the audio file exists;
  • the sound definition points to the correct file;
  • the SoundId exists;
  • the pack was refreshed after moving or renaming files;
  • the world has both the player mod and the music pack loaded.

Multiplayer sound is not heard by one player

If the track changes for everyone but one player does not hear sound:

  • make sure that player has downloaded all required mods;
  • make sure the same music pack is loaded through the world mod list;
  • ask the player to rejoin the server;
  • check the Space Engineers log for errors related to the player mod or the music pack.

Useful log search terms:

NordVader
Music
Sound
MOD_ERROR
Exception

The block appears but custom UI is missing

This usually means the player mod script failed to load.

Check the Space Engineers log for:

MOD_ERROR
Script load failed
NordVaderSyncedMusicPlayer

If a script load error is present, update the player mod and test again.
