I have recently installed Mopidy and I dont know how I would get to the servers homepage on a web browser and my phone. What port do I need to forward?
Check your configuration using (sudo not needed depending on whether you installed as a service or not):
sudo mopidy config | grep port
If I remember correctly the default is 6680.
Another way, is to use a Zeroconf (aka Avahi) browser to discover the service.
I have made sure its on and that going into the ip and port wont give me any results. I have port forwarded it and it doesnt work on the mobile app either.
Also is this able to save positions in an audio file as I would like to put some audiobooks there
I don’t understand what port forwarding has to do with anything, please explain why that’s relevent.
More importantly, did you see the warning at Mopidy-HTTP — Mopidy 3.4.1-2-ge245adbc documentation ?
Also what stuff do I need to modify here? (only one image per post)
Just like the page I linked says, if you want to access the server from another device/computer/phone/toaster on your LAN, you need to change the hostname. Change it from
#hostname =
To
hostname = ::
That has removed the leading hash character (so it’s no longer a comment) and configures the http server to listen on all interfaces. You need to edit the correct config file that matches the way you run Mopidy. you can read the documentaton about that, I don’t want to reproduce any more of that here.
Your first screenshot shows Mopidy has started just fine. The server is running and ready for you to connect with a client.
I have uncommented hostname but I do get this when trying to start mopidy

Is anyone there?

Great. did you add the other character also? Presumably you did because that’s really clear in our docs, which you have since read. Do you have some other server already listening on port 6680?
I’m not sure how to tell if anything else is using that port but mabye changing it would work. Do you mean making the hostname line like
hostname = ::[ip]
No, it needs to be exactly like in the docs at
https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/ext/http/#confval-http-hostname
Either
[http]
hostname = ::
or
[http]
hostname = 0.0.0.0
I have changed it to :: and the port to 6681 but im still getting the same thing.
You still get this error?
Frontend (HttpFrontend) initialization error: HTTP server startup failed: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address
no, Now its saying its running on that port, but when I go and open it up in my browser nothing happens
What was the stuff you did with port forwarding? Maybe that’s breaking it? Or are you running a firewall that’s blocking it?
Well I port forwarded the port. Im not sure if the firewall on my router is messing with it
It would be helpful if you could answer this.
Provide output of mopidy config and ifconfig and netstat -ltnup .
Are you in a container?
