Hello.

After an upgrade to Raspbian Buster I removed mopidy via APT (with --purge option) and did a fresh install of mopidy. A local scan was successful and GMPC can see local files and play them.

However, there is a main problem: I cannot connect from Mopidy Mobile on my phone. Here are some things I noticed:

- Changing the port in the [mpd] part of the config (which is at /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf since I run it as a service) only results in `sudo netstat -n -l -p | grep XXXX` adapting its output: if I set the port to 6600 the above command with XXXX = 6600 will return `tcp6 0 0 :::6600 :::* LISTEN 19224/python3 `, and so on

So note that unlike answers to other similar questions, in my case changing the port does not help.

- Running `sudo journalctl -u mopidy | grep error ` with `verbosity=4` in [logging] results in

`avr 07 09:04:07 raspberrypi mopidy[13599]: DEBUG [MpdSession-16] mopidy_mpd.network Unexpected client error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe`

and a bunch of

`avr 07 09:04:07 raspberrypi mopidy[13599]: DEBUG [MpdSession-16] mopidy_mpd.network Already stopping: Unexpected client error: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor `

I believe that is related to me trying to connect from Mopidy Mobile and failing (time stamps match).

I am at a loss here. I’ve spent lots of time googling and do not know what to do. I’ll be happy to post config files whenever needed!

All help appreciated. Thank you everyone for your time and help!

EDIT: here is the output of `sudo mopidyctl deps` which I forgot to include:

What’s going on with your http hostname config setting? Are you sure you correctly adjusted the port numbers bring used by both gmpc and mopidy-mobile after changing to these non-standard ones?

Hey there, thanks for replying!

Hmm here is how my /etc/mopidy/mopidy.config reads:

```auto

```

Its weird, `sudo mopidyctl config` does not seem to pick up on that as we see above. Note I changed `hostname` in `[http]` to :: just like I did for the` [mpd]` field (because I thought we ought to do so… maybe only for mpd?).

In any case, yes, when trying to connect with Mopidy Mobile I adjusted the port numbers after I set them to the non-standard values. Note I changed these ports to non-standard values simply to check if maybe the standard 6600 was problematic, not for any particular reason.

Inline comments dont work in Mopidy v3 (see [https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy/issues/1868](https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy/issues/1868)). You need to change the hostname for both if you are using both frontends from remote devices. 6600 is only problematic if you have Mopidy (or mpd) already running. I would guess the issue here is the inline comment. I’m surprised we display an “address in use” error message for that though…

Hey there. I have removed the inline comments, sorry I did not know they were no longer allowed.

I’ve changed the ports back to 6600 and 6680 (mpd and http respectively), and both hostnames now read `::`. Note I only use Mopidy Mobile from Android, nothing else. It still does not work, in the sense that Mopidy Mobile cannot connect to the server (of course I did change the port back to 6600 also there).

Here is the output of `sudo systemctl status mopidy`:

Hey there. Thanks for answering. Just crafted a reply with some outputs but Akismet has hidden the reply :-(.

Bottom line is: removing the inline comments does not solve the issue. I do not know that I have some other mpd already running (how could I check that maybe?) and, in any case, I only wish to access mopidy from my Mopidy Mobile on Android.

Any help would be fantastic! (I hope the other reply goes through)

Can you post a (`verbosity = 2`) log? Presumably there is no longer any message about address in use, correct?

Are you sure the IP displayed in Mopidy-Mobile’s server config matches your raspberry pi’s IP address?

Hey there, here is the output of a `sudo journalctl -u mopidy | grep error`, run after having changed `verbosity` to `2` in `/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf` and having restarted with `sudo mopidyctl restart mopidy`: (is this indeed what you were referring to with a verbosity = 2 log? if not let me know and I’ll correct)

```

Note the error is still in there, since I tried to connect with Mopidy Mobile right after I restarted the service (and yes indeed the IP adress matches perfectly: I am also able to access the PI e.g. via SSH on that IP).

What I get when clicking on Mopidy from the Pi’s app menu now is:

```auto

```

(note this is equivalent to running mopidy in a terminal, but I believe this is of course different from running it as a service, which is what I want anyway)

To me that log looks like there’s a non-MPD client connecting to the MPD port. Is the _port_ definitely 6680 in Mopidy-Mobile? it would also help if you could close gmpc, or whatever MPD client is sending that `clearerror` and `status` commands. And please show the entire log from Mopidy startup, not just the errors.

</div>

Hey there. Thanks for sticking with me. So:

- yes the _port_ in Mopidy Mobile is the same as in the [mpd] part of the config file for the service (also printed out by `sudo mopidyctl config`). So for example, the config file contains:

```auto
[mpd]
port = 6600

```

and in Mopidy Mobile I see `ws://192.168.1.6:6600/mopidy/ws/`. They match (I have changed them back to the default 6600 now, to no availl though).

- with GMPC closed on the RPi3, I restart the service and this provides me with the following, full log with `verbosity` set to `2` (where after restarting I tried to connect from Mopidy Mobile): https://we.tl/t-Nt7oHGgzIY [the log is long, and I cannot seem to copy paste it here … hence the wetransfer, but let me know if you prefer I do otherwise]

</div>

But Mopidy-Mobile is an HTTP client. it needs to be configured to use Mopidy’s HTTP port i.e. 66 **80**. It should be picking this up automatically via zeroconf, but perhaps you need to refresh that in the server settings (swipe down) now you’ve reverted your Mopidy config to the default.

</div>

Oh well damn it, I am so, so embarrassed. For some reason I never questioned the idea that Mopidy Mobile was an MPD client, which I do not know how I got into my head.

I am able to connect now when specifying the HTTP port of the config, of course.

Sorry for wasting your time on this; please note I wasn’t hasty and had done research and all, but I have been using this for more than a year now and did not question these basics (which apparently I got mixed up).

Thank you for all your help, I really appreciate it!

No worries, we got there in the end. I blame zeroconf being too magical. Looking back, I should have realised the confusion earlier.
