I've managed to build myMPD and have it start though currently errors as 'MPD disconnected'.I think that's just my footling about with the configuration file...
I will try some other settings and get back.

I think the firmware update was missing the myMPD build. Smile

Took a while but got MPD connected and can browse and play but trying to view (album art) in gridview kills the player...

Ok! now I have cover view but it takes a very long time to load and update....should be faster

All works with the exception of albumart grid view...whilst the coverart shows it is replicated multiple times...being equal to the number of tracks minus 1 for each and every album.
Not sure if this is an myMPD issue or snakeoil configuration....??

How do you fix myMPD disconnect? I have the same issue after updated to 1.1.9

RE: Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.9 (Blind Testing Update 9) - Bromf - 12-Apr-2020

It is not simple...so to avoid untold versions of support for this I feel it is best to wait for AK and an update to the firmware... Wink  he will be along presently.. Big Grin
My experiment has been with an AMD64 firmware...not ARM/Pi  do note this..

However...If you are a Linux user...Desktop and Snakeoil conversant... pm me....breakage on your own head be it and no support if it does not work for you...you'll have to reinstall and await AK's fix if my recipe does not work.. Wink Wink !!

Many thanks, your suggestion fixed the problem, I am using AMD64 too

Good that it worked for you !
Are you getting the multiple covers problem in gridview ?

RE: Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.9 (Blind Testing Update 9) - agent_kith - 13-Apr-2020

Seems mympd.conf isn't copied over? I'll see if I can whip up something to fix this.

As for grid view, it could be a problem with myMPD itself.. I'll double check that later.

RE: Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.9 (Blind Testing Update 9) - agent_kith - 13-Apr-2020

Can you guys try the hotfix (go to the last of the first post here) and see if mympd is now working for you?

RE: Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.9 (Blind Testing Update 9) - Bromf - 13-Apr-2020

Tried and ...Nope....Back to the initial problem.... firefox can't find the server...

However, I amended mympd.conf

for these lines and that fixed it..
PHP Code:
[mpd]
#Connection to mpd, unix socket or host/port, socket preferred
host = localhost
port = 6600


#myMPD user
#group is the primary group of this user
user = myMPD

Delete the file '/etc/mympd.conf', then upload the fix module again. Did the file reappear? And also, does mympd work now?

The config file in the fix has the correct connection info, (it uses 127.0.0.1 which is the same as localhost).

I'm guessing, that user part is the problem. In Snakeoil, it needs to be www-data. But if you started with myMPD, then you'll need to wipe out everything in /var/lib/mympd first before restarting mympd. I'll see if I can fix this in the next fix update.

That worked !  (deleted both /etc/mympd.conf and /var/lib/mympd then uploaded the new firmware)

myMPD loads and works as expected (with the exception of the multiple covers in gridview. Still not sure what's happening there but it is consistently showing one cover for each track (less 1) of each album...weird Big Grin  )

Is there a pi fix as well?
