Music Player Daemon (MPD) 2009-10-01 Re-Release

[hooijschuur]

i installed mpd without a failure using the three files above.

it looks like it has a problem creating a database.

updating take as long as the daemon is running.

the mpd server disconnects frequently and after about ten minutes it fails

Is there a way to create a database manual ?

When i use mpd from the csi there is no problem running it.

Check the logfile.. it usually chokes on some file in your collection. And when starting up for the first time it always complains about the database file being missing; it hasn't been created yet.

Thanks i found some mp3's with a very long name.
i removed them and mpd works fine

Reading the release notes of this 0.16.0 version of the mpd for nmt I came across the following about the support of cuesheets with flac files:

Quote:ver 0.16 (20??/??/??)
...
* decoders:
...
- flac: load external cue sheet when no internal one
...

Can anyone explain me how this should work?

Is there any setting that should be changed to have mpd read the cue sheets?
Will any mpd client be able to 'see' the songs from the cue sheet?

I'm very anxious to know how this works, because most of my CD-rips are single flac-files with external cue-sheet and I'm now in a very laborious activity of converting all my single flac-files to separate flac files per track, and would like to be able to stop this if it isn't required anymore.

When updating your MPD to this version is it necessary to uninstall the old one first ?
Or can I just do:

wget http://www.alanlee.org/mpd-nmt/mpd-20091001.tgz -qO - | tar xvz
wget http://www.alanlee.org/mpd-nmt/mpd-smp86...091001.tgz -qO - | tar xvz
cd /share/Apps/mpd
sh install.sh
sh daemon.sh start

Thanks

I guess that should be possible.

I did even less, I just copied the changed and new files and the changed config file.
Everything runs OK with the new version of 0.16, except I still have the problem with switching between mono and mpd, which hangs up my Popcorn.

Does this work for my HDX-1000?

Did you change the ramdac value from 0 to 1? If not, try.

Hi Alan

Thanks for that hint. I hadn't changed the ramdac setting, but now I did.

The problem I had , before that was that after playing audio using mpd for a long time, as soon as I switched to playing video using mono, my PCH starts loading the video (network light is active) and subsequently got completely blocked and would respond to nothing anymore. Just before that happened, on my TV I got the message "An incompatible videosignal was received. Please check the settings of your output device". This is the same message that is shown on my TV when I reboot the PCH and it is shown immediately before the "PopcornHour loading"-screen. Maybe this is helpfull to you in locating the cause of the "hang-up".

In the small test I just did (just flipping between mpd play and video play) it kept on playing video and also mpd, so that ramdac-setting seems to solve it.

I will test some with longer audio play, because that is what I do mostly.

I will keep you updated.

Thanks again

What needs to be done to create a MPD community package? Do we need to split it up in two packages (one for MPD, and the other for the output plugin)?

Also after again a whole day of mpd audio playing, the playing of video through mono just went flawlessly again.

So it looks like the change of this ramdac-setting does the trick for me.

One even more happy camper over here.

Thank you Alanh

One way to get the answer to that is of course to try...
Anyway the answer is yes.
Or rather: it works on mine
