Hello list,
I have installed mpd and ncmpcpp.
In the /etc/mpd.conf these are the changes that I have made
music_directory "/home/neo1691/Music/"
user "mpd"
#group "nogroup" (This was commented out by default)
That's it nothing else!
Whenever I start my laptop, the service mpd is already started
mpd 3304 0.0 0.0 411928 820 ? Ssl 13:04 0:00
/usr/bin/mpd /etc/mpd.conf
When I start ncmpcpp, pressing u does not update the list, and my
playlist always remains blank.
This is what I have tried so far:
1) I tried to change the permissions of one or two music files inside
/home/neo1691/Music and granted read permissions to everyone.
Result: ncmpcpp is still plain blank.
2) I also tried changing the music_directory to its default value,
ie(/var/lib/mpd/music), copied some music there and then started
ncmpcpp.
Result: Nothing again.
3) I tried changing the user option in ncmpcpp to neo1691, then the
service mpd would never start.
Please help! Thanks!
