Installed mopidy + ncmpcpp with no issue but not working at all

joma · February 11, 2020, 3:45pm

HI
Installed mopidy + mpd + ncmpcpp in ubuntu Eoan to listen my spotify music this way

sudo apt install mpd mopidy mopidy-spotify ncmpcpp

configured using official docs. Launched at terminal ok But nothing appears on ncmpcpp. No playlist, no search function…
ncmpcpp is playing local music ok. I can not see any error. Need some guidance.
Seems that mopidy is ignoring spotify config. (see config file below)

Config files and output below:

Mopidy and mpd are different prices of software that don’t talk to each other. Mopidy-MPD provides a way to control Mopidy using an MPD client. Install Mopidy-MPD as per its documentation. You don’t need mpd installed to use Mopidy-MPD.

Your log states that both the mpd and spotify sections are unknown. It’s clear enough you have not installed Mopidy-MPD so that makes sense, but I’m not sure why Mopidy-Spotify isn’t being found. So double-check you actually did install Mopidy-Spotify from apt.mopidy.com. You can also run mopidy deps to check what extensions are installed.

Installed mopidy dependencies (MPD and Spotify). Now config seems ok but still nothing happened when searching inside ncmpcpp.

I followed this steps:

install mopidy-MPD
install mopidy-spotify
reboot
start mopidy in command line
open ncmpcpp and search for “Metallica” on search pane (3): Nothing Found

Here the output of mopidy deps command:

Deps all looks good. Config looks sensible. Presumably the debug messages reporting unknown config sections have now stopped. Can you share your log showing the MPD client successfully connecting to Mopidy and performing the search? Any other errors/warnings in your log? Is it possible you’ve still got mpd installed and your connecting to that instead?

joma · February 12, 2020, 9:42am

The issue is the ubuntu MPD server was running, so solved removing MPD. Thanks

But now I got a question: may I use mopidy-MPD to access to my local music?

Seems that all my library has now gone from ncmpcpp

kingosticks · February 12, 2020, 9:51am

Yes. Install Mopidy-Local, configure it so it knows where to find your music, run mopidy local scan to build a music database.
