mpd permissions problem
Hello
i have a problem wih mpd and i can solve it :-( i think it must be a permission problem
here is my mpd.log
shaft@lubuntu:/etc$ cat /var/log/mpd/mpd.log

Re: mpd permissions problem
Start mpd as a user instead of root is the easiest way of avoiding permission issues:

Re: mpd permissions problem
i found the mistake
in the ncmpcpp config
###################################################
## this is example configuration file, copy it to ##
## ~/.ncmpcpp/config and set up your preferences ##
####################################################
#
##### connection settings #####
#
## set it in order to make tag editor and renaming files work properly
#
mpd_host = "localhost"
#
mpd_port = "6600"
#
mpd_music_dir = "home/shaft/Musik"
#i forget / before home :-)

Re: mpd permissions problem
You need to edit the config file for ncmpcpp, it should be located in:
/home/[username]/.ncmpcpp/configYou need to change the line that reads:
mpd_music_dir = "/home/[username]/[nameofyourmusicdir]That line needs to read exactly the actual path to your music directory.
Edit: Thanks for posting your config file. You need to add a backslash in front of "home". Try that and it should work.
Edit #2: Meh, you already figured it out. That's what I get for taking too long to post.

Re: mpd permissions problem
hi again
but now i have another problem
when i switch to console 1 (because i will have full screen dispöyed) and start ncmpcpp and i start a song it says (Paused) i push P but nothing happens :-(
On my PC wehre mpd is user it works fine is that the reason that there the user is mpd? and here user=shaft?

Re: mpd permissions problem
I don't know, as I have never tried to use ncmpcpp/mpd that way. If you think it is because of the user level, you can try going back to root user by following the steps outlined in the mpd wiki. The key to getting that to work, I believe, is modifying the permission of your music folder. That too is covered in the wiki for mpd:

Re: mpd permissions problem
I have the same problem (always paused) and before that the permissions problem. I think it's because of a upgrade (few days ago mpd with ncmpc works fine for me).
I don't think it a configuration problem (because I had a mpd system well configured before).
So I wait a fix...
