[SOLVED] Mpd+ncmpcpp database problem

I got a *probably* working per-user configuration of mpd,i updated the database from ncmpcpp but the song does not appear.
The output of:

systemctl --user status mpd.service

mpc search any colorblind # assuming that's the "song" you meant

Re: [SOLVED] Mpd+ncmpcpp database problem

mpc update
mpc search any colorblind
file /path/to/nightstep-colorblind.mp3
sudo netstat -tpn | grep mpd

Is this the only file in your DB (so far)?

Re: [SOLVED] Mpd+ncmpcpp database problem

There's apparently no mpd process listening on tcp (:6600 or elsewhere)?

ps aux | grep mpd
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep mpd

and please post your mpd config

Edit: the file looks legit, so that's probably not the problem (the other way round would have been a strong indicator that the file is garbage)

Re: [SOLVED] Mpd+ncmpcpp database problem

There're now three mpd processes and (somehow…?) the first one also holds the default TCP port now (clerical error in the former post?)
There should be *one* mpd process, so I'd suggest to stop the service, clean up remaining mpd processes and restart the service. Then check netstat and the database behavior.

Re: [SOLVED] Mpd+ncmpcpp database problem

Not sure whether the mpc search command would relevantly catch that. But is the file properly tagged? Not on my mpd setup so I can't verify but I know quite a few programs that will have weird display issues when they assume tags to be present and you essentially only have the file name.

Re: [SOLVED] Mpd+ncmpcpp database problem

And to be sure: did you re-run "mpc update" after the cleanup?

Edit: i3tag, there is one, but:

id3 /home/sasha/Music/nightstep-colorblind.mp3

Re: [SOLVED] Mpd+ncmpcpp database problem

id3lib provides id3info, id3 is actually an AUR package

And please paste the mpd log and ~/.config/mpd/database (shouldn't be too big for one file)
