Puts some beats on! Message

[c0dysharma]

Miniplayer just shows Puts some beats on message. Mpd service is up and running other mpd clients are also working fine.
System Info:

my miniplayer default config

[player]

font_width = 11
font_height = 24
image_method = pixcat

[mpd]

mpd conifg

}

Also tried changing locahost to 127.0.0.1 in miniplayer config as well and other mpd clients like ncmpcpp also working!

Could you please tell me if you are running python 64bit and which version of python-mpd2 you are using?

After that, verify that music is playing and miniplayer still only displays the "Put some beats on!" message and post the output of the following script:

from mpd import MPDClient
c = MPDClient()
c.connect("localhost", 6600)
print(c.status())

Hey so just discovered I need to create and play a playlist from another mpd client. To be able to later change playback from miniplayer.

Is it how it supposed to work? Actually am new to mpd pardon me but If this is the way a line in readme stating clearly would be great.

Yes, that is the intended use case at the moment. I am (slowly) working on a library browser but it will take a while, sorry.
