"remote button" under mpd in music player software,fails with "unable to connect:

[agent_kith]

Sorry, I got carried away with mympd and playing music.. :

I fixed the issue by trying to start mympd from command line and learned that libid3tag.so.0 was not installed. After a few attempts I installed libid3tag* which I knew would probably install the missing files. It did.  I tried to start it again and it started but stopped with an error about its config directory"/var/lib/mympd/config". The directory was there along with a "state" directory, but the config directory was owned by root, and not writeable to user mympd so I changed the permissions to 777 as the easiest solution. I assumed user mympd would be writing the config file ? Anyway I restarted my pi, reloaded the snakeoil webapp, went to the music player section hit the remote icon and bam! I had mympd. I knew something like it must be in the music mpd section and it started my searches of the snakeoil os forums for clues. I am not saying this is the approved solution, there are more elegant ways I would assume - world writeable directories are usually frowned upon - but I am the only one using the machine so I took a short cut. Anyway I am thrilled with snake oil after a few years with moode. And will be making a second "donation" now that I see what it is..

Hmm. The upgrade script of 1.2.7 is supposed to fix up all the file permissions, and install libid3tag.. Unsure why that isn't working.. :/ Something for me to double check later again. Thanks for the heads up.

Edit: I checked the upgrade scripts and it should already be doing all the things you've said. What version of Raspbian are you using? I'll probably fire up a fresh install and re-try this sometime later as I couldn't recreate this issue.
