mpd database with only audio files
I have my music organized like this: Genre/Band/Album[1,2,3,...,n] but besides albums I also have some videos for some bands and I'd like to know if I can set mpd up so that it ignores video files when creating/updating its database.
Thanks in advance

Re: mpd database with only audio files
Are you sure mpd also imports video files into its database?!?! I honestly don't know, but I really doubt it

Re: mpd database with only audio files
yes, it does... I was listening to some random music from my library and then I heard some talking and realized it was a documentary about a band I like, so I headed to the monitor and ncmpcpp was showing a "Vid02113.mov" playing...

Re: mpd database with only audio files
I can confirm that MPD picks up on video files in the database directory. There's a number of container formats that have both audio and video capabilities and it seems that MPD assumes that the user has well formed music libraries. Since MPD can use a pure FFmpeg backend, the audio track portion will be played under any supported container. Without digging in too deeply, I'm sure that the solution is to separate your video and audio libraries.
