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.

Re: MPD and autocompletion.
At a guess, bash completion? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bas … Completion

Re: MPD and autocompletion.
Hmm, did you mean to type mpc?

I'm guessing that too. This should set it up:
cat /etc/bash_completion.d/mpc >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrcThen 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.
