I can't seem to configure mpd so that I can play music on my computer. I can play the .mp3 files just fine if I use something like mplayer. But using mpc or ncmpc just won't work. I can load the .mp3 files to playlists just fine in ncmpc, but I get no sound. What could be wrong?
/etc/mpd.conf
| Code: |
music_directory "/usr/local/mp3"
playlist_directory "/usr/local/mp3/,playlists"
db_file "/var/lib/mpd/database"
log_file "/var/lib/mpd/log"
state_file "/var/lib/mpd/state"
user "f"
group "f"
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
bind_to_address "/var/lib/mpd/socket"
port "6600"
input {
plugin "curl"
}
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "My ALSA Device"
}
audio_output {
type "fifo"
name "MPD FIFO Output"
path "~/var/run/mpd.fifo"
format "44100:16:1"
}
filesystem_charset "UTF-8"

I have tried changing the "user" and "group" to "'mpd" and "audio" but with no avail.
when I run "mpc play" i get the following error:
| Code: |
$ mpc play
El-P - Tuned Mass Damper
[paused] #2/2 0:00/4:06 (0%)
volume: n/a repeat: off random: off single: off consume: off
ERROR: problems opening audio device
|
That same error happens if i run 'mpc play' as root or as a user.' Also, both root and my user are in the audio group.
I'm at a loss for what to do. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Fixed the problem.
The problem was my edits to mpd.conf weren't taking any effect because there was a previously running mpd instance from when I ran "mpd --verbose" trying to figure out how to get sound. Apparently it didn't close. Had to kill it, and once I did that my mpd.conf settings came into effect when I reran "/etc/init.d/mpd start". |
