Not able to add custom audio output - sjtuross - 20-Sep-2023

I'd like to add another mpd audio output for http stream. I enter the below config but Snakeoil doesn't allow me to apply.

Code:
audio_output {

    type "httpd"

    name "HTTP Server"

    port "8000"

    encoder "flac"

    compression "0"

    tags "yes"

    always_on "yes"

}

You'll have to SSH into the snakeoil machine, and look under /var/www/players/.

In this folder there will be various MPD versions, go into the version you want to modify. In this MPD folder there will be a file that ends with template. Add your options into that file.

Unfortunately at the moment your custom config will be overwritten every time on a firmware upgrade. I'll see if we can make this easier in a later 1.3.x release.
