Music Player Daemon music directory setup

Tacna · 2012-04-14 21:11:01

Hello,

I'm following the Archlinux Wiki on the mpd and I'm stuck at the part where it says to do the following:

# mkdir /var/lib/mpd/music
# echo "/home/$USER/music /var/lib/mpd/music none bind" >> /etc/fstab
# mount -a
# rc.d restart mpd

When I type in the second line, it prints out:

bash: /etc/fstab: Permission denied

I also tried that same command but with a sudo in front but it printed out the same thing as before.

Thanks in advance.

it needs to be actually run as root, as it only does the echo-ing under sudo, not the actual appending. Or you can use:

echo "/home/$USER/music /var/lib/mpd/music none bind" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

There's lot on google about this. It's fairly easy to get set up.

Then update the Wiki with the new information you have.

Ok I typed that command you posted and it printed:

/home//Music /var/lib/mpd/music none bind

Then I proceeded with mount -a and it printed:

mount: special device /home//Music does not exist

I don't know why it is omitting my username.

Thanks for the help

I've been searching and researching for the past 12 hours. Found different methods and different guides but so far no luck in getting this to work.

Try adding in your username to the command.

I used my username throughout the whole process. I never actually put in $USER.

Why don't you open /etc/fstab in an editor and type it out?

Yea it worked. Thanks.

Now my final question is, what if I want to undo all of this in the future? In other words, undo the mount -a and the echo command I performed?

Thanks for that.

I need some additional help.

ncmpcpp is not displaying my music. I press u but nothing changes.

# Files and directories #######################################################
#
# This setting controls the top directory which MPD will search to discover the
# available audio files and add them to the daemon's online database. This 
# setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be
# be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using
# file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol.
#
music_directory		"/home/tacna/Music"
#
# This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this
# directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use 
# playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD
# format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled.
#
playlist_directory		"/home/tacna/.mpd/playlists"
#
# This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to
# load the database at server start up and store the database while the 
# server is not up. This setting defaults to disabled which will allow
# MPD to accept files over ipc socket (using file:// protocol) or streaming
# files over an accepted protocol.
#
db_file			"/home/tacna/.mpd/mpd.db"
# 
# These settings are the locations for the daemon log files for the daemon.
# These logs are great for troubleshooting, depending on your log_level
# settings.
#
# The special value "syslog" makes MPD use the local syslog daemon. This
# setting defaults to logging to syslog, otherwise logging is disabled.

log_file			"/home/tacna/.mpd/mpd.log"

pid_file			"/home/tacna/.mpd/mpd.pid"
#
# This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about

# General music daemon options ################################################
#

# This setting sets the address for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention

#
#audio_buffer_size		"2048"

##
## Note: In order to make music visualizer work you'll

## has to be set to 44100:16:1. Example configuration:
## (it has to be put into mpd.conf)

##
## ncmpcpp should detect your charset encoding

##
## Note: You can see whether your ncmpcpp build
## supports charset detection by checking output

##
## for song format you can use:
##
## %l - length
## %f - filename
## %D - directory
## %a - artist
## %t - title
## %b - album
## %y - year
## %n - track number (01/12 -> 01)
## %N - full track info (01/12 -> 01/12)
## %g - genre
## %c - composer
## %p - performer
## %d - disc
## %C - comment
## $R - begin right alignment
##
## you can also put them in { } and then it will be displayed
## only if all requested values are available and/or define alternate
## value with { }|{ } eg. {%a - %t}|{%f}
##
## Note: Format that is similar to "%a - %t" (i.e. without any additional
## braces) is equal to "{%a - %t}", so if one of the tags is missing,
## you'll get nothing.
##
## text can also have different color than the main window has,
## eg. if you want length to be green, write $3%l$9
##
## available values:
##
## - 0 - default window color (discards all other colors)
## - 1 - black
## - 2 - red
## - 3 - green
## - 4 - yellow
## - 5 - blue
## - 6 - magenta
## - 7 - cyan
## - 8 - white
## - 9 - end of current color
##
## Note: colors can be nested.

#song_library_format = "{%n - }{%t}|{%f}"
#
#tag_editor_album_format = "{(%y) }%b"
#
##
## Note: Below variables are for alternative version of user's interface.
## Their syntax supports all tags and colors listed above plus some extra
## markers used for text attributes. They are followed by character '$'.
## After that you can put:
##
## - b - bold text
## - u - underline text
## - r - reverse colors
## - a - use alternative character set
##
## If you don't want to use an attribute anymore, just put it again, but
## this time insert character '/' between '$' and attribute character,
## e.g. {$b%t$/b}|{$r%f$/r} will display bolded title tag or filename
## with reversed colors.

#
##### columns settings #####
##
## syntax of song columns list format is "column column etc."
##
## - syntax for each column is:
##
## (width of column)[column's color]{displayed tag}
##
## Note: Width is by default in %, if you want a column to
## have fixed size, add 'f' after the value, e.g. (10)[white]{a}
## will be the column that take 10% of screen (so the real column's
## width will depend on actual screen size), whereas (10f)[white]{a}
## will take 10 terminal cells, no matter how wide the screen is.
##
## - color is optional (if you want the default one, type [])
##
## Note: You can give a column additional attributes by putting appropriate
## character after displayed tag character. Available attributes are:
##
## - r - column will be right aligned
## - E - if tag is empty, empty tag marker won't be displayed
##
## E.g. {lr} will give you right aligned column of lengths.
##
#

Is it definitely mounted? Check with "mount". If so are there any errors?

bslackr · 2012-04-16 00:03:42

If you are the only user on your machine, you might want to just follow the directions for a local setup. I've been using this for a while now without any issues.

Ok I've done all of that except for that last step with the script. Where do I need to place Rasi's script?

The script automates the setup. If you have already done it manually there is no need to run the script.

Well then, even after following the local user guide, ncmpcpp doesn't show my music. It runs properly but no music in the Media Library.

Just prints out

volume: n/a   repeat: off   random: off   single: off   consume: off

and ncmpcpp's library still empty even after updating ncmpcpp as well.

~~Can you post the contents of the .mpdconf in your home directory as well as the output of "ls ~/.mpd"~~

Nevermind, I didn't see it before. the only thing that I have different in mine is that the user is commented out completely as well as the bind_to_address, so you could try doing that.

Ran it. What is suppose to happen?

mpc ls Lists all files/folders, mpc add will add files to the playlist. Running mpc ls | mpc add will add all files to the playlist. If you run mpc play and do not hear anything you have set something up wrong.

Darn. Back to square one.

Well I removed mpd, mpc and ncmpcpp and started from scratch in order to eliminate anything I may have done wrong.

I followed the local user procedure on the Arch Linux wiki. Something curious is happening. When I type mpd I get:

 config: problems opening file /etc/mpd.conf for reading: Permission denied
Aborted

I find it odd that mpd is trying to access that file when the mpd.conf (that I configured) is sitting right there in my ~/ directory.

skunktrader · 2012-04-18 03:08:36

I believe the local file is supposed to be called ~/.mpdconf

Tried that too. Still doesn't work.

Just want to say, even if this doesn't work, thank you guys for all your help.
