Can’t define Mopidy MPD as a media player in Home Assistant

General

Hi

I just installed Mopidy-MPD on a RPi which is connected to my LAN. The installation seems to work fine, however, I can’t manage to add the MPD as a media_player.mpd entity to my HA. I added the following to my configuration.yaml:

media_player:
  - platform: mpd
    host: 192.168.0.42
    port: 6600

And in my HA log I get the following errors:

Logger: homeassistant.components.media_player
Source: components/mpd/media_player.py:133
Integration: Media player (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 5:10:44 PM (1 occurrences)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Have you set Mopidy-MPD"s hostname config to allow access from outside localhost? There’s documentation at GitHub - mopidy/mopidy-mpd: Mopidy extension for controlling playback from MPD clients regarding this.

The error log you provided seems to indicate HA is trying to open a Unix socket connection. Which is odd considering you supplied a host and port. You’d need to ask their support channels why it’s doing that. Mopidy-MPD does support Unix sockets but again, needs to be configured to do so.

Thanks. It turned out that I needed to use the http port and not the server port…
Now I can see in HA media_player.mpd.

I don’t follow that but I guess that’s because I don’t know anything about HA or how it talks to Mopidy. Glad it’s working.
