# Setup
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
This is a minimum configuration file for /etc/mpd.conf
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
music_directory "/var/lib/mpd/music"
|
|
|
|
playlist_directory "/var/lib/mpd/playlists"
|
|
|
|
db_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpd.db"
|
|
|
|
|
|
pid_file "/run/mpd/mpd.pid"
|
|
|
|
state_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpdstate"
|
|
|
|
|
|
user "mpd"
|
|
|
|
audio_output {
|
|
type "pulse"
|
|
name "My Pulse Output"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
audio_output {
|
|
type "fifo"
|
|
name "my_fifo"
|
|
path "/tmp/mpd.fifo"
|
|
format "44100:16:2"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can use alsa instead of pulse, but don't unless you're on a Pi.
|
|
|
|
Since this is run as the mpd user, you'll need to grant that user pulse acceess, often with the user-group `pulse` or `pulse-access`, but your distro may vary.
|
|
|
|
> sudo usermod -aG pulse-access mpd
|
|
|
|
Working with mpd will be easier if you have access to its files, so maybe:
|
|
|
|
> sudo usermod -aG mpd $USER
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Notifications (AUR)
|
|
|
|
Install `mpd-notification` and then start the service:
|
|
|
|
> systemctl --user enable mpd-notification
|
|
|
