I'm using mpd + ncmpcpp
It crashes (ncmpcpp) once in a while browsing track lists. Then I can't recover port ::6600::
The message is "Cannot connect to mpd: timeout in attempting to get a response from "localhost" on port 6600"
Anyone knows how to set free port ::6600::?
Once it crashes I can't get it work again. No "kill", "killall" command do free port ::6600::
Any ideas?
Thanx in advance.

is the mpd daemon on?

When ncmpcpp crashes I kill all related processes (including mpd), but port 6600 appears still in use, plus I get the same message again when trying to run ncmpcpp again:
"Cannot connect to mpd: timeout in attempting to get a response from "localhost" on port 6600"
Thanx

Have you tried the official method:
sudo /etc/init.d/mpd stop
and then:
sudo /etc/init.d/mpd start
Offline
Not really.
I tried with
mpd --kill
With no luck at all. I'll give it a try when the chance comes.
Thanx a lot.

Probably an MPD bug. If MPD won't die, you'll need to killall -9 mpd before restarting it. This happens to me quite too often while seeking.

Me too, while seeking tracks or jumping between songs.
I'll check out Raffles10 advice.

it all depends on how you start your mpd. mpd --kill will only work, if you started the program as user. if you use the init script, you'll have to either kill it as root or use the rc.d/mpd stop method.

I am noticing mpd starts with default config in /etc/mpd.conf
It doesn't use my ~/.mpd/mpd.conf
I have to create database with music and playlist every time I start the daemon or after having stopped it.
Can I comment or disable /etc/mpd.conf? Will it cause problems if so?

No, just 'sudo rm /etc/mpd.conf'. I use ~/.mpdconf, but ~/.mpd/mpd.conf should do just as well.

By the way, Wintervenom:
In order to enable seeking, you should enable it by adding
incremental_seeking = "yes"
seek_time = "1"
to your ~/.ncmpcpp/config file.
Greets, and have a nice new year 2010 all you guys!
