I just cant get ncmpcpp to work after reading several tutorials....Am hoping some1 is kind enough to help me out and point me in the right direction: 1) music does not load up 2) ncmpcpp:connection refused

.mpd.conf (ext usb storage)

music_directory "/media/ralpheeee/Films/Music"  
 playlist_directory "/home/ralpheeee/.mpd/playlists"   
 db_file      "/home/ralpheeee/.mpd/mpd.db"  
 log_file      "/home/ralpheeee/.mpd/mpd.log"  
 pid_file      "/home/ralpheeee/.mpd/mpd.pid"

 audio_output {  
     type  "alsa"

Re: NCMPCPP Config Help (SOLVED)

You've specified a non-standard port in ncmpcpp's config, but not in mpd.conf.

am a real noob ...does that mean I add

 mpd_port = "6601" 

to mpd.conf?

Re: NCMPCPP Config Help (SOLVED)

Something like that. I'm not going to look up the exact name of the setting for you; you can check `man mpd.conf` yourself.

Or remove the "mpd_port" line from ncmpcpp's config if you didn't put it there for a good reason.
