Mismatch in used configuration and actual config file

General

Hello,

I installed mopidy and the iris extension and it works fine.
However, I don’t understand why the output of my sudo mopidyctl config is:

Running "/usr/bin/mopidy --config /usr/share/mopidy/conf.d:/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf config" as user mopidy

Where is it taking the configuration for iris for example?
The file /usr/share/mopidy/conf.d doesn’t exist.

Thank you,

Anything in /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf will override the default config values and that’s why you only need to specify certain things in that file. For those things that are not specified (most things), Mopidy will use its default values. The default config values for extensions are normally displayed on the project’s README but for some reason mopidy-iris doesn’t do this. However, you can see them at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaedb/Iris/develop/mopidy_iris/ext.conf.

If you want to change any of the iris settings then add a section to your /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf as normal.
