My Goal is to feed my Chromecast Audios a playlist via Home Assistant  
(turn on the lights, heat up the kettle and play some music in the bath)

It took a while to understand that Mopidy as a service uses another config file =P  
so i go to  
sudo nano /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf  
link [https://hastebin.com/guhifitoqa.makefile](https://hastebin.com/guhifitoqa.makefile)  
There i make all my funny settings to get the icecast stram and most importand the [musicbox\_webclient]

when I’m now open  
sudo mopidyctl config  
[https://hastebin.com/akopegiquc.makefile](https://hastebin.com/akopegiquc.makefile)  
where the hack is [musicbox\_webclient] gone to?..

sudo service mopidy restart dont help as well… somebody a idea?  
when i stop the service and start it via the shell its working fine but defeats the purpose.

I think the output of `sudo mopidyctl deps` would show that the Mopidy system service cannot find musicbox-webclient installed. You need to install it using `sudo pip install mopidy-musicbox-webclient` it you want the system service to be able to find it.

Lastly, the `musicbox` option is for PiMusicbox installations only, do you really want that? Otherwise none of those musicbox-webclient options you’ve specified are actually required since they are all the default values.
