MusicBox Webclient not running

General
1

First, it seems like there is a lot of questions around the web client and I’ve read every post here and and it didn’t resolve my issue.

I’ve just installed Mopidy, can connect to the landing page no problem. Added the Musicbox Webclient and the Mopidy service will not load it upon starting.

What I’ve done…

  1. The Musicbox Pip install ran no problem
  2. Added the web client settings in Mopidy.conf
  3. Restart the service and Run the Mopidyctl config file and it does not load the web client, those settings are omitted from the running config
  4. Confirmed I am getting the right config file (renamed the one in the user directory and also tweaked port settings and then put them back just to be sure I was not missing anything obvious)

Any other thoughts?

  1. exactly how did you install the extension? Provide the command you used.

  2. You don’t need to edit any config files to install this webclient, but since you did, which config file did you edit?

  3. Like we always ask, provide the output of sudo mopidyctl deps.

Are you sure this isn’t the usual problem of installing without using sudo or installing an extension with the wrong version of pip which installs it using the wrong version of Python? What operating system are you using?

Thanks for the response.

  1. Here is the command, I just reran it also to capture the output below. If I add in the Sudo -H flag I don’t receive the permissions issue on the ./cache folder

sudo python3 -m pip install Mopidy-MusicBox-Webclient

kane@Server:/etc/mopidy$ sudo python3 -m pip install Mopidy-MusicBox-Webclient

  1. Added this to /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf. Thought that was noted in one of the support tickets. It was failing with or without it but I’ll certainly remove if it is wrong. I was expecting to see this noted in the mopidyctl config output but it wasn’t.

[musicbox_webclient]
enabled = true
musicbox = false
websocket_host =
websocket_port =
on_track_click = PLAY_ALL

  1. After I posted this I ran through it some more and realized it was not in the dependancies…

Mopidy requires Python 3.7 and Ubuntu 18.04 provides Python 3.6. You can see your Mopidy service is using Python 2.7.
