Lollypop - can't add music

Trying to use lollypop music player (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … /lollypop/).  Unfortunately I can't add music to the lollypop library or play any songs through lollypop.  Right clicking a MP3 and clicking "Open with Lollypop" opens lollypop but it doesn't play.  Pointing lollypop to my music directly doesn't add any music to the lollypop library.  VLC plays MP3s just fine.  I have lollypop setup on another distro and it works fine so not sure what the issue is here.  If anyone has experience trouble shooting lollypop I could really use some help.

Try starting the application from a terminal and see if there are any useful log messages output there.

Don't sudo pip install anything ever. Look at the optional dependencies of the lollypop package to know what you have to install.
