[SOLVED] mpd + mympd + MPDroid

Troubleshooting
1

Hello,

I’ve installed mympd but I can’t access the web interface at 192.168.1.24:1333, where 192.168.1.24 is the static IP of my RPi3

I’ve check the status of the service :

root@DietPi:~# service mympd status
● mympd.service - myMPD
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mympd.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2018-10-08 14:38:25 CEST; 6h ago

Maybe someone can help me.

Hmm, works well here on VBox Stretch (€: and Jessie).

Seems something is wrong with our mympd.conf. Please check the following:

ls -al /etc/mympd/mympd.conf
cat /etc/mympd/mympd.conf

Thanks for answering

OK, I saw the github issue & applied the PRE V6.17 solution.
Now I can access the mympd interface at 192.168.1.24:1333, but the connection has failed.
I have a “connection error” message : “Connection to myMPD failed. Trying to reconnect to ws://192.168.1.24:1333/ws”

If I restart the mympd service, I can see that it is active with connection error with mpd :

root@DietPi:~# service mympd status

After a few seconds, the status is “failed”, as you can see below.

An idea ?
Thanks.

OK I found my problem.
First I’ve used MPDroid to control mpd but I have too many connection bugs with my old phone, so in the mpd config I’ve changed the “bind to address” to 192.168.1.24 to use MPDroid on my phone.
In the config file of mympd, mpdhost is “localhost”, so I need to change the IP to 192.168.1.24 and that’s OK.

Great it works now. I was not aware of the type on current master. Thanks to Edward for sharing :slight_smile:.

Might want to make it a static IP…otherwise if DHCP decides it wants to give it a new IP, all that work will have to be re-done
