mpc status

When I run mpc in the command line during an update, it says

$ mpc status Updating DB (#1) ... volume: n/a repeat: off random: off single: off consume: offWhat does that “#1” mean?

The count of updates. If you starts mpc update again a few minutes later, it will show you #2.

OK, so when does it restart the count? Does it restart at #1 only when the mpd service is restarted? Or is it counting simultaneous updates? Confused because when I’m trying to run Client175 I get very large numbers like this after only a few minutes of running.

$ mpc Updating DB (#2158) ... Then if I check a minute later, the update line is gone.

Yes.

No.
