Re: Playing other streams

I discovered the root cause of the issue we are both experiencing where mpd stops playing after each song and has to be restarted in order to play the next song. The issue is with support of chaining ogg vorbis file headers or the lack there of. While the version we are using, mpd.0.13.2 supports pl...

Re: MPD plugins

I don't have an externally visible server (yet) so I can't point you to the one I am using. It does appear that mpd will play ogg/vorbis files since that is what I am using on the icecast server and mpd is playing the stream. However there maybe some need to look into what available options need to ...

MPD version used for this project

I know I read this somewhere but for the life of me I can't seem to find it. Why was mpd version 0.13.2 used? I think I remember it being a size limitation issue. If i need to, would it possible to try to get a later version of mpd on the router or is it a wasted effort? I have been doing an investi...

MPD plugins

Does the version of mpd being used for this project support ogg vorbis files being streamed from icecast/shoutcast or does it only support mp3 streams?

Re: Playing other streams

How did you get mpd to connect to icecast, I can't seem to get it to connect, every time I try it fails and defaults to another playlist. Also did you ever get the issue fixed with having to hit "play" for every song? I can't seem to get even the native player on the Linux box i am using t...

Re: Running mpd mpc on power up

I am using playlists that I loaded using "mpc add"

Then playing a playlist using "mpc playlist 1"

Try that and reboot and see if there is any difference.

Re: Running mpd mpc on power up

The music should start automatically, I just tried a reboot with the music playing and it rebooted and started without any manual intervention. I have also unplugged the router moved it to a new location and plugged it back in with the same results. The mpc command is not a service or daemon so it a...

Re: Running mpd mpc on power up

The easiest way to do this is to create a start script in /etc/rc.d that starts mpd on any boot or reboot. There is already a script in /etc/init.d for mpd that is used for starting mpd so this task becomes even easier, since the START/KILL scripts in /etc/rc.d are just symbolic links to the scripts...

Using multiple radios for a distributed audio system

I have been following this project since finding it a few months back. I was doing research on an inexpensive alternative to an audio distribution system, since the analog versions are quite pricey and the commercial streaming systems that do exist are equally as expensive and not very configurable....
