[SOLVED] MPD issues with 0.1.5

[agent_kith]

Progress ! All versions of mpd now start..... Client 175 still shows no music and database update fails with no output.

Difference from yesterday.... using different browser (Tazweb not Firefox) on different os (slitaz not ubuntu)

You're a linux user. That will make my life so much easier!

Do you still get the same error message? Or a different one?

Code:

"Unable to retrieve list of available tag types.

 

1. Can you look at the file /var/www/scratch/mpd.conf, look for the line that says metadata_to_use, and confirm it's written as such:

Code:

metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,composer,performer,disc"

2. Next, cat the file "/var/tmp/stderr" file, look at the last line. Hopefully you see a music file that caused the problem.
3. With your ID3 tag editor, look through (but don't modify) all the tags listed above, do they look ok? Any special control characters in there?
4. Now move that music file away from /media/music directory.
5. Restart MPD and re-do the scan.
6. Does it continue to work? Or will it quit again with a different file?
