Problem with configuration

General
1

Hi, I’ve just installed mopiby and gis extensions for spotify.
I have modified the “mopidy.conf” file in “/home/username/.config/mopidy”.
But the modification do not appear in "mopidy config"
It return :

[spotify]
enabled = false  ; Extension disabled due to config errors.
username =     ; Must be set.
password =     ; Must be set.

My config file :

 [mpd]
hostname = ::

[spotify]
username = thesimeox
password = *mypassword*

Thanks for helping.

Does running mopidy print any warnings or errors regarding the config? Hopefully, they’ll be more specific.

Here is what it print :

This indicates that your [mpd] section isn’t used correctly either.

To check that the file is readable, in the correct location, and doesn’t have any syntax errors, can you provide the output of:

  • ls -ld ~/.config
  • ls -ld ~/.config/mopidy
  • ls -l ~/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf
  • cat ~/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf

Yup, it is here :

ls -ld ~/.config :

 rwx------ 17 simon simon 4096 sept. 20 21:29 /home/simon/.config

ls -ld ~/.config/mopidy:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 sept. 20 17:42 /home/simon/.config/mopidy

ls -l ~/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf:

-rw-r----- 1 root root 84 sept. 20 18:57 /home/simon/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf

cat ~/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf

[mpd]
hostname = 192.168.0.19
 
[spotify]
username = thesimeox
password = *password*

Looks good.

Owned by root, but readable by everyone. OK enough.

Owned by root, only readable by root. Here’s your problem.

To fix it, change the owner of all files in ~/.config/mopidy to the simon user by running:

sudo chown -R simon:simon /home/simon/.config/mopidy

It work, thanks !

Hello,

I am having trouble trying to install mopidy on RaspBMC and making it work flawlessly but i run into some warnings.

I could really use your help with the output:

INFO     Starting Mopidy 0.19.4
INFO     Loading config from: builtin defaults, /etc/xdg/mopidy/mopidy.conf, /home/pi/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf, command line options

WARNING  Configured http/static_dir /opt/webclient/flatclient does not exist. Falling back to default HTTP handler.
INFO     Connected to Spotify

…and it just stops there.
Also, it seems that only if i manually start mopidy i can get it running. Shouldn’t it run on RaspBMC startup?

Kind Regards
