Several binds can also be specified, for example, to have mpd listen both to localhost and to the external IP of your network card:ĭaemon: cannot setgid for user "mpd": Operation not permitted If you want to use your ipv4 interface, hardcode it in mpd.conf, like: It means mpd binds to the ipv6 interface before binding to ipv4. Listen: bind to '0.0.0.0:6600' failed: Address already in use (continuing anyway, because binding to ':6600' succeeded) If on startup, mpd displays the following message: For example, add the following to the ncmpcpp configuration file: If that does not help, add the following to mpd.conf:Īfterwards, instruct your client to connect via 127.0.0.1. If this does not help, you might want to comment out the changes. There is a warning about changing the address to bind to in the default mpd.conf. Note: I'm not so sure this is a good idea. The mpd error file is deprecated and has been removed. Also see FS#22071.Ĭheck mpd.conf for a line like mpd.error and remove it. Please see posts on ncmpcpp on the Arch Forums HERE and HERE. 18:33:05 Connection lost while reading MPD hello Some have reported being unable to access mpd with various clients, for example seeing errors like these:Ĭannot connect to mpd: Connection closed by the server Other issues when attempting to connect to mpd with a client Solution is disable IPv6 or add line to /etc/hosts Repeat this procedure until your music library is done.Ĭannot connect to mpd: host "localhost" not found: Temporary failure in name resolutionĬannot connect to MPD (with ncmpcpp), if you are disconnected from network. This should force kid3 to rewrite the whole tag again fixing the problem with MPD and easy tag hanging. With kid3 go to the offending song and rewrite one of the tags. It is recommended to set "log_level" back to "default" after debugging, since the log file grows fast. restart mpd and look up the last entry in mpd's log file after mpd hangs. Note: This task can also be achieved by editing mpd's configuration file and setting "log_level" from "default" to "verbose". Once you notice that easytag stopped scanning for songs, make note of the culprit and kill easytag. By default easytag starts to search all subdirectories for mp3 files. ![]() Once you are ready, on the tree view select the directory where all your music is located. ![]() The trick here is that easy tags actually tells you what file is causing the problem on the status bar.īefore starting easytag make sure to have a terminal close to be ready to kill easy tag to avoid a hang. The purpose of easytag here is that easytag detects the error in the tags, but like MPD it hangs and dies. Just as a baseline it took 2.5h to fix a 16GB database. This method is very tedious, especially with a huge database. Here is an experimental way to solve this issue. This is a common error that's caused by corrupt mp3 tags. Note: in case of permission problems when using ESD with MPD run this as root: ![]() If you copied /etc/mpd.conf over from /etc/ as mentioned above, you can simply uncomment:Įxample for alsa output type and alsa mixer: It may help to tell MPD specifically what to use as output and mixer control. Though this mostly goes well, it will fail for some systems. ![]() During the start of MPD, it tries to autodetect your set-up and configure output and volume control accordingly.
