Difficulty connecting to Mopidy Web Interface

In a command prompt on the Pi, enter ‘ifconfig’ and enter.

pi@Kappa:~ $ ifconfig

This Pi (Kappa) has an IP address if 192.168.1.134, as seen in the eth0 section. If you are running wirelessly, it will be in the wlan0 (from memory, probably right) section.

To access Mopidy on it, I put http://192.168.1.134:6680 into the address bar of a browser. Since you and I both seem to have Iris and MusicBox as front ends, Mopidy will ask us what we want to use.

In the link that Nick posted about running Mopidy as a service (https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/service/#service), it mentions that the location of the config files change when running under the user account (undesirable because after every reboot you need to log in as your user and run Mopidy then not log out vs. “it just goes”). Not seeing new users editing the correct config file is a common source of confusion that I see.

Welcome to Mopidy! I’ve been very happy with it and the help that I’ve gotten from the community. I hope this helps.
