Is it possible to have more than one source of music files ?
sudo nano /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf
[local]
media_dir = /home/pi/Music
Here I want to also include an additional source:
/media/pi/Seagate Expansion Drive/Music
Is this possible, and what is the syntax of the command to do this ?
Thanks !
You can only have one media_dir but you can point to other directories from it using symbolic links. Be sure to also enable the scan_follow_symlinks setting in your Mopidy config i.e.
ln -s "/media/pi/Seagate Expansion Drive/Music" /home/pi/Music/Seagate
With Mopidy config:
[local]
media_dir = /home/pi/Music
can_follow_symlinks = True
You might prefer to point media_dir to some other directory which just contains symlinks to your various sources e.g. media_dir = /somewhere/all_my_music and then
ln -s "/media/pi/Seagate Expansion Drive/Music" /somewhere/all_my_music/Seagate
ln -s /home/pi/Music /somewhere/all_my_music/Home
Thanks for the help.
Forgive my questions, but here is result , not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Created the file structure and added to the Mopidy config.
then tried to restart Mopidy, error message now says service does not exist.
Run “sudo mopidyctl local scan”
result:
pi@raspberrypi:~ sudo mopidyctl local scan
