MPD and autocompletion.
Hello!
Do I have to do something to enable autocompletion in MPD. For some reason it doesn't work.
It autocomplete my filesystem, not my music directory.
Have don a mpd --create-db as root, and mpc update.
skottish wrote:Then for instance typing something like mpc -ls Sa <tab> should start listing all of the artists (in my case) that begin with Sa. It's not working here though. I remember someone else a while back trying to get this to work and it wasn't happening for them either.
Sorry that I wasn't clear enough. This is what I was thinking of.
On my old laptop it worked, but on my new one, it doesn't. That made me believe that there might be something that I had to do to make it work.

I've add the mpd daemon in rc.conf and i've chosen my directory /home/andreas/Downloads in sonata .Also i put mpd:ALL to etc/hosts.allow
Sonata connects fine to the server but i can't see my libary .
What might be the issue ?
Thanks again
Last edited by shak (2010-06-10 11:27:13)If you continue to have issues with permissions, the solution i use is to simply run MPD as my normal user, storing all the necessary directories and files under ~/.mpd and just pointing it at the config file I stuck there:
$ mpd ~/.mpd/config
No more permissions issues! There's an explanation of this in the wiki. -
Questions about mpd and sonata ram usage
Hi again!
I'm very impressed with mpd and i really love the sonata client with it's cover art , lyrics fetching features .
I've noticed that mpd uses about 13 mb ram and sonata 16 mb of ram. I have about 6 albums in my library .
I was just wondering if it is normal for mpd and sonata to use that ram .
I have enough ram about 1gb so it's not an issue , i'm just curious if this is normal
Also i've noticed that with mpd and sonata the cpu usage is much lower than with audacious when playing files , but the ram usage with mpd is higher
Thanks again
Last edited by shak (2010-06-10 12:15:25)Hmmm...I have Arch64 with a 15,000 collection, MPD uses 9.8MB and Sonata uses 52.5.MB, whether there are songs in the playlist or not.

Hello all,
I am trying (so far unsuccessfully) to set up mpd with pulseaudio. I enabled mpd.service, mpd is started when I boot up. But as soon as I try playing something back with (g)mpc, I get the well known "problems opening audio device".
Before anyone asks, both mpd and pulseaudio are running under my own UID. The problem seems to be that mpd does not know how to talk to the session bus that is used by pulseaudio. This makes sense, as mpd is launched before the session bus (which is launched by startx). Therefore, mpd does not know the correct DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and can't connect. Is there anyway to fix this behaviour? I would like to have the possibility to launch a dbus session bus before I launch mpd via systemd in such a way that the value of DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is broadcasted to the other daemons.
x2b[jacob@BlackWater ~]$ mpd
listen: bind to '0.0.0.0:6600' failed: Address already in use (continuing anyway, because binding to '[::]:6600' succeeded)
this is not actually an error. It just says it bound to your ipv6 interface before it could be bound to ipv4 interface. Define your binding statically in mpd.conf with
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
daemon: cannot init supplementary groups of user "jacob": Operation not permitted
you are running mpd as user, altho you should be running it as root
if you want to run it as user, make sure to remove the user line from mpd.conf
problems opening audio device
I can only guess here. You are saying you have pulseaudio. Did you configure the pulseaudio output in mpd.conf?
if you do so, make sure to comment out the alsa output. If you want to use the alsa output with your pulseaudio server, make sure you have pulseaudio-alsa installed

I have this litle problem with mpd and flash.When i am listening to music from mpd flash dosn`t work.when i have luck just sound isn`t working.
But if i`m watching videos on youtube or have a chat msg on facebook mpd dosn`t work but after 10 - 15 minutes like nothing happendHi there,
I am a long time Camino user and today decided I wanted to try Safari again since I ran across a page that Camino didn't show the images on, but Safari did. So I was at Flickr and was looking at stuff a friend had on their account including a short video. But I couldn't play it saying I needed to update Flash. OK so I download and install the Flash plug in. Still no go, but works fine in Camino.
Anyway, to make a long story short, from another post here someone said to check that you had in the HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins folder these two files: Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Yep, I have those, BUT I also had Flash Player Enabler.plugin with a date code of 2006. So on a whim, I moved it out to my desktop & restarted Safari. Dang if it doesn't work very nicely now.
So you might check to see if you have the same file lingering around in there that might be causing issues.
Cheers,

This problem appeared with Sonata 1.5. -
Anyone of you guys got mpd and bluetooth audio up and working? I cant seam to find any good info in the matter.
I'm just guessing here, but maybe something along the lines of this in /etc/mpd.conf
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "My ALSA Device"
device "hw:0,0"
format "44100:16:2"
Change the 'device' line to suit whatever numbers your bluetooth headset is... -
I just started using MPD and would love to get Replaygain working with it. I know how to tag my files with mp3gain and have configured MPD to use replaygain info. Problem is mp3gain stores replaygain info in APEv2 tags and MPD only supports reading replaygain info from ID3v2 tags.
Is there a tool I can use to store replaygain info ID3v2 form for my music collection?
I'm sure there's a simple solution I've just overlooked.
Last edited by Zer0 (2009-10-28 00:47:44)I finally solved my problem: iptables was running on my RPi, and it was blocking the MPD requests... Thanks

How to start and stop mpd and ncmpcpp together?
I have got the setup of mpd+ncmpcpp working together. However, to start, I first have to start mpd in the console and then ncmpcpp. Also, to stop, I have to quit ncmpcpp (pressing q) and then kill mpd (using mpd --kill).
I was just wondering if there is a way out to make the whole process easy. I wish to accomplish:
1. Start mpd followed by ncmpcpp from a ".desktop" file which would show up in the menu.
2. Stop mpd when you quit ncmpcpp.
Any comments would be much appreciated.I think if that is the functionality you are looking for, then maybe a different music program might suit your needs better. I believe that cmus functions in that way.
Part of the appeal of mpd is that it runs as a daemon, so you can connect from it anywhere, be it locally or remotely. For instance, I can connect to my server's running instance of mpd and listen and play music from that machine. Or I can connect to my local instance of mpd and listen to music from this machine. -
[SOLVED] MPD and Mplayer don't play nice
At the moment, I have to kill the MPD process in order to get MPlayer to play sound, otherwise a 'resource is busy' type message comes up.
I'm using alsa and using self compiled Mplayer (from svn).
Any suggestions?

I had the same problem
In /etc/mpd.conf, go to the "audio_output" section and comment the lines "device" and "format" (thoses lines are marked as optionnal).
Now restart mpd, and it will work as any other alsa application.
Ah worked like a charm! Thanks bud

After I open Firefox I start typing the URL. After each letter I see autocomplete suggestions. Imagine I type "g", then "o" (google is shown as autocomplete), but then I enter "a". Since I have no pages that begin with "goa", autocomplete is hidden and the problem is, I can no longer type anything. All my key strokes are now ignored (backspace, enter... it dosen't matter). But I still see the cursor blinking after "goa".
I have discovered that Firefox must be focused on some other interface element (not in the address bar), because if I press the TAB key, the focus is again shifted to the address bar and I can continue typing. Sometimes I have to press TAB 2 or 3 times while entering an address to be able to write what I want. It looks like every time autocomplete is closed, the program focus leaves the address bar.
I've been having this problem for at least 4 or 5 versions of Firefox and it does not happen on every Firefox session. It can be solved by closing Firefox and opening it again. Pressing the TAB key has become kind of a reflex, so it's just annoying and I can work around it.
But why is this happening?Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Hello, I'm having problems with mpd using alsa output.
My alsa system works, I can play mp3 using mplayer -ao alsa, and flash plugin plays sound, my user (and also mpd user)is in the audio group.

Any Ideas?

Last edited by xzakox (2011-09-22 20:04:33)Check that mpd is really being run as the mpd user, and that id lists audio for the mpd user. Also post your whole mpd.conf and the output from amixer when running as the user you run mpd as.

# autodetection for one sound card.
# See <http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Configuration#Audio_Outputs> for examples of
# other audio outputs.
# An example of an ALSA output:

# setting is disabled.
#samplerate_converter "Fastest Sinc Interpolator"
# Volume control mixer ########################################################
# These are the global volume control settings. By default, this setting will
# be detected to the available audio output device, with preference going to
# hardware mixing. Hardware and software mixers for individual audio_output
# sections cannot yet be mixed.
# An example for controlling an ALSA, OSS or Pulseaudio mixer; If this
# setting is used other sound applications will be affected by the volume
# being controlled by MPD.
#mixer_type "hardware"
# An example for controlling all mixers through software. This will control
# all controls, even if the mixer is not supported by the device and will not
# affect any other sound producing applications.

#replaygain "album"
# This setting sets the pre-amp used for files that have ReplayGain tags. By
# default this setting is disabled.
#replaygain_preamp "0"
# This setting enables on-the-fly normalization volume adjustment. This will
# result in the volume of all playing audio to be adjusted so the output has
# equal "loudness". This setting is disabled by default.
#volume_normalization "no"
# MPD Internal Buffering ######################################################
# This setting adjusts the size of internal decoded audio buffering. Changing
# this may have undesired effects. Don't change this if you don't know what you
# are doing.
#audio_buffer_size "2048"
# This setting controls the percentage of the buffer which is filled before
# beginning to play. Increasing this reduces the chance of audio file skipping,
# at the cost of increased time prior to audio playback.
#buffer_before_play "10%"
# Resource Limitations ########################################################
# These settings are various limitations to prevent MPD from using too many
# resources. Generally, these settings should be minimized to prevent security
# risks, depending on the operating resources.
#connection_timeout "60"
#max_connections "10"
#max_playlist_length "16384"
#max_command_list_size "2048"

hi I use sonata/mpd on my 64 bit machine, i also use ufw/gufw to configure iptables (set to deny by default). I seem to be having problems with sonata downloading cover art for albums and i'm not entirely sure what port to allow for this purpose, any ideas?

I am very sure it uses a normal port 80 http connection. Its getting the covers from http servers, so that seems quite obvious
