^^^^^^^^ :)
As I have no experience with mpd (yet) I don't know what may be causing
this, but ...
* Can you play local files with mpd/ncmpcpp?
* Can you play streaming radio on mpd from another url?
* Is it only the mpd/ncmpcpp combination, IOW, what about trying another
client.
I put into Google:
mpd streaming radio "permission denied"
and got back quite a few hits - maybe one of those will help?
Web Results 1 - 10 of about 26,000 for mpd streaming radio "permission denied". (0.35 seconds)
P.S. Probably not a good idea to use 'steaming radio' as a search term. :-D
