Music Player Daemon

I also included album cover artwork.

Local album art support is quite new to MPD (end of 2018). Some clients support download from local http server eg MPDroid.

Not able to reproduce with Music Player Daemon 0.21.5 (v0.21.4-38-gcfe22502a) (Debian testing with x64 flavour) stop and pause working as expected. No increase in cpu load. Please consider updating MPD.

Stream plays ok on MPD from git and Debian testing. Consider updating.

EFI fun... Finally got Volumio2 in Virtualbox running. Might be useful for someone.

Volumio uses MPD under the hood? The Volumio website claims that Volumio can be controlled using MPD clients by emulating the MPD protocol, but I couldn't find any trace that it actually uses MPD for anything. If it does, does it ship with a supported MPD version? Recent image did not work as virtu...

I've not heard of any of the 4 pre-requisites to be able to compile from source, let alone if they are installed, pretty complicated stuff to get to play some music. Volumio - it is free (Android control app costs 2 or 3 bucks), open source, uses MPD under the hood and there are prefab images for y...

Missing libmpcdec-dev package?

@max> You're right. Found some note for my ancient multichannel audio interface and assumed it is valid for stereo too.

Or try to add to your audio_output

There is no automatic mono to stereo conversion in MPD. Give asound.conf a try:

I also pinged the SBC ip from the laptop, it had no losses and avg 9ms turn around, so it's happy. Your network is not happy at all :roll: Turnaround on a recent ethernet network should by 1ms or less. What happens if you ping your default gateway? and it sent packets but then just sat there thinki...

"why are you doing it this way" :mrgreen: the networking bit is easy, but I've never set one up. (...) My SBC has a gigabit wired connection to my BT Modem/Switch/wifi hub. Network equiment and no network? :lol: Lets enjoy some rocket science. First connect Odroid hardware using Ethernetcable to sw...

I will control this via a network connected android tablet with GMPC on it. No GMPC for Android.

@qwin> RTFM ;) Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a flexible, powerful, server-side application for playing music. (...) it can play a variety of sound files while being controlled by its network protocol. Looks like MPD is a kind of client server thingy. Server here you connect your storage and DAC. Netw...

You have to turn off PulseAudio. 1. Open the ~/.pulse/client.conf file to disable PulseAudio for the current user, OR Open the /etc/pulse/client.conf file to disable PulseAudio for all users. 2. Set the following attribute and ensure the line is not commented out: autospawn = no 3. Call pulseaudio -...

@Christoph> Building BlueALSA from source, installing, systemd startup and usage was pretty straight forward on a headless server. But I can not help with Pulseaudio, sorry.

@max> adding Bluetooth audio devices (and Chromecasts or SnapCast clients) during runtime would be would be pretty cool.

I am considering a music streamer project using minimal Ubuntu on a Odroid C2 with MPD installed. Mission possible. Or stay in the x86 mainstream with some fanless Celeron mainboard. Initially I want to run GMPC on the same C2 to control MPD. X-Windows and with a desktop engine is not a minimal ins...

The current status quo is, that in order to stream audio from/to a Bluetooth device, one has to install PulseAudio, or use Bluez < 5. However, Bluez version 4 is considered to be deprecated. Possible solution is to use BlueALSA https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa Very basic example config: audio_out...

Not able to reproduce with MPD 0.21.2. @schwabinger> your XXX marked urls pointing to very low quality streams (33 kbit/s ogg and 56 kbit/s mp3).
