Mpd server takes a long time to start

Q&A
1

Hi,

I have mopidy running on Raspbian Buster Lite and my only issue is that the mpd server takes a long time to start after boot and I can’t figure out why. It takes about 20 seconds after the system is up until I can connect to the mpd server with mpc. Before that mpc status returns mpd error: Connection refused. Once mpd is running it works perfectly.

I already tried disabling all mopidy extensions (local, http, spotify, m3u, iris) but that makes no difference at all.

Any ideas?

I’m a bit confused about logging. If you could tell me how to provide a useful log file for this problem I would be very grateful.

Here is the output of sudo mopdiyctl config:
