 |
|
I can use qmpdclient so the mpd configuration is correct. However, somehow mpc does not work for me, and I would like to be able to use that as well.
| Code: |
rahul@wall ~ $ mpc ls /media/WALL/Music/ | mpc add
error: ACK [50@0] {lsinfo} directory not found
|
| Code: |
rahul@wall ~ $ mpc ls /media/WALL/Music/ | mpc add
error: ACK [50@0] {lsinfo} directory not found
|
But I do mpc clear, then my qmpdclient is emptied as well. So obviously IMO I am not using the correct syntax for mpc. Would be cool if someone can point out the mistake that I am making.

You are trying to use an absolute path relative to the filesystem root, you need to use a path relative to the root of the mpd music_directory.
For example (in english  ), if in your case you have 'music_directory "/media/WALL"' in /etc/mpd.conf, you'd probably use the following;
| Code: | | mpc ls Music/ | mpc add |

Just some further questions about this.
| Code: |
rahul@wall ~ $ ls /var/lib/mpd/music/
Music local
|
Music -> points to my external
local -> points to my local hard drive
Now how do I go about adding only the local collection to a playlist?
EDIT: It seems that the local folder is not there in the database.
| Code: |
rahul@wall ~ $ mpc ls
Music

Removed the old database, and rebuilt the index, everything works as it should now.
