So I just installed MPD together with MPC and NCMPCPP but I can't get it to work. There is 1 song in the database, according to NCMPCPP (Show server info) but there are no Artists or Albums. I downloaded a song from YouTube using youtube-dl-mp3
, but it doesn't show up. When I run mpc play
it says volume:100% repeat: off random: off single: off consume: off
(I don't know if this is right or not), and when I run mpc current
after that I get no output. No song is playing. Here is my mpd.conf
file:
db_file "~/.config/mpd/database"
log_file "~/.config/mpd/mpd.log"
music_directory "~/Music"
auto_update "yes"
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "HD-Audio Generic"
device "plug:dmix"
}
I'm not 100% sure "HD-Audio Generic" is correct, I got it from alsamixer
(where it says Card: <sound_card>
at the top).
