Here is what I've got. C-200 with internal USB Thumb Drive with NMT Apps installed and everything good to go.

I have tried installing with CSI with the .zip package and it installed fine but when I go to run the setup I get this.

Code:

C:\Netcat>nc 10.0.0.130 2222
Enter command to run:
sh
Cmd is 'sh'
Spawning.
cd /share
cd /share/Apps/mpd
sh install.sh
grep: /mnt/syb8634/etc/ftpserver.sh: No such file or directory
No generic daemon launcher found, installing...
sed: /mnt/syb8634/etc/ftpserver.sh: No such file or directory
sed: /mnt/syb8634/etc/ftpserver.sh: No such file or directory

Same goes for if I extract the files then copy them to the /share/Apps/mpd folder. I assume this is because its a different mount point than /HARD_DISK/ or whatever it is if you have a HDD as apposed to /USB_DRIVE_A/.

What now?

It's not for a C-200 just for A-100 & A-110.

Hi!

Would some kind soul help me?

I'm getting "Starting mpd... listen: failed to listen on any (line 76) : Address already in use. "


I cannot connect to Minion (I get "problems setting volume MPD@192.168.0.3")

I'd really appreciate any help, I've been trying to get this thing to work on and off for a week now, not easy with a toddler believe me.

[isitmeor]

is it possible to start mpd through an HTML file

[Sammy95]

I have been reading these posts in and out now, but does not find a solution..

I have this problem on my PCH A-100..

Code:

/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Apps/mpd # MPD_HOST and/or MPD_PORT environment variables are not set
error: problems connecting to "localhost" on port 6600: Connection refused

Obviously I cant get it connected to port 6600...

My music does not show up in MPDJB

MyIHome server is enabled.

MPD is(!) indexing my music inside the database file..

MPD.conf file:

Code:

music_directory            "/share/Music"
playlist_directory        "/share/Music"
db_file                "/share/Apps/mpd/etc/database"
log_file            "/share/Apps/mpd/var/log/mpd.log"
pid_file            "/share/Apps/mpd/var/run/mpd.pid"
bind_to_address            "192.168.1.117 127.0.0.1"
port                "6600"
log_level            "default"
follow_outside_symlinks    "yes"

}

Restarted PCH but no go.. Anyone..?

Hmm.. Interresting thought..

Not sure about what You mean though.. Do You mean MPDJB or only MPD..?

Because I think it should be easy to create a webservice that start MPDJB instead of browsing for the Index file..

[banquo]

Try

Code:

bind_to_address    "any"
port                "6600"

Worked..
Thank You !!!

Files got listed..
But then I could not play them... Well - Easy come - Easy go..
Looks like this one will stay for a looong time when it's done..

MPDJB says: Error Decoding "filename.mp3"

No sound - And nothing shows up when I choose "Now playing"..
Will have to read more in this huge pile of posts..

Have you rescanned your database since you updated the mpd.conf file?

Easiest way is to delete the 'database' file in the mpd folder then select update database in mpdjb.

Also if you have a large library be prepared to wait for a while!

Banquo You are one of the best !!
Worked 100% - Thank You..

I only had 12 songs on the internal HD, so the library was created in a flash,
however my plan is to play the songs on my NAS and yes.. that may take a while to add..

Does this mean that the easiest way would be to just change the config file, delete the database, and then rescan in MPDJB once again...????

Thank You again

[banquo]

Glad I could help!

When you change the location of your music library in the mpd.conf file, it automatically creates a new 'database' file for you.

[Angelkiller]

Anyone planning on updating this to latest?

[Chriz86]

Hey, thanks for instructions and great effort in this pretty nice software.
I've got a question.

On my HDX1000, after executing sh daemon.sh, I always receive a message the database is missing:

Starting mpd...
Starting Remote control for MPD...
Failed to load database: Failed to open dabatase file "/share/Apps/mps/database : no such file or directory

fred2

Also, MPD quits at almost every album, like for example (after just removing the 4 tracks before on which the daemon got stuck) after Jan 03 20:28 : update: added Eminem/Eminem - The Slim Shady LP (1999)/20-Eminem-Still Don't Give a Fuck-The Slim Shady LP.mp3:

If u stop all other services like torrent, and then change the directory where you got your mp3s from ex music to bkmusic then put 100mp3 in that directory.
then you update database.
after that you add another 500 or so and update again, maybe more, i had the same problem before and updated the database that way and everything worked.
might have done something more but not that i remember for the moment.

[Hann1BaL]

hello,

I have had MPD running, but it stops creating a database when it finds a file it cannot process. (like an avi file.) So I deleted the database and removed all "difficult" files from the music directory. Now I want renew the database, but I get the message below:

Code:

/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Apps/mpd # bin/mpc update
volume:100%   repeat: off   random: off   single: off   consume: off
/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Apps/mpd # bin/mpd -create--db
bin/mpd: can't load library 'libfaad.so.2'

I reinstalled MPC. The libfaad.so.2 is available in mpd/lib.

Code:

http://nmt:9999/mpd/log.txt

says:

Code:

Jan 27 18:15 : state_file: failed to open /share/Apps/mpd/var/run/state: No such file or directory

But that file (0 bytes) does exist.

Anyone a good clue? it would be great to have this working on my A-110 and MpaD on the ipad. Tnx!!

I had everything running for quite some months now, today my ipad wouldn't connect with the server :/ This is the error log that came with it when i try to start it trough ssh. Does someone has a clue?
