Put some beats on! message #5

Itookmyprozac · 2021-02-07T00:19:47Z

Ubuntu 18.04.5 user here on an old 32 bit laptop. So maybe it's the reason of the problem.

I installed miniplayer via sudo python3 setup.py install. Log:

The config file is not created by default on /home/itook/.config/miniplayer/config so I created the directory and moved the sample config to it and renamed as "config". Then I edited it with adding my music directory.

When I execute the command miniplayer I only see the message "Put some beats on!".

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

GuardKenzie · 2021-02-07T00:53:37Z

Do you still see the message while playing music with mpd?

Itookmyprozac · 2021-02-07T15:00:51Z

Do you still see the message while playing music with mpd?

I use ncmpcpp as client to play music. No problems with it.

My mpd.conf:

music_directory "/home/itook/musica/great"
playlist_directory "/home/itook/musica/great"
db_file "/home/itook/.mpd/mpd.db"
log_file "/home/itook/.mpd/mpd.log"
pid_file "/home/itook/.mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file "/home/itook/.mpd/mpdstate"
auto_update "yes"
audio_output {
	type "pulse"
	name "pulse audio"
}
audio_output {
	type "fifo"
	name "my_fifo"
	path "/tmp/mpd.fifo"
	format "44100:16:2"
}

bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
port "6601"%

GuardKenzie · 2021-02-07T15:19:44Z

Could you please post your config file for miniplayer as well?

Itookmyprozac · 2021-02-07T15:37:51Z

Sorry, I forgot it!

/home/itook/.config/miniplayer/config:

[player]
music_directory = /home/itook/musica/great
font_width = 11
font_height = 24
image_method = pixcat

[mpd]
host = localhost
port = 6600%

GuardKenzie · 2021-02-07T15:45:11Z

The port in your miniplayer config does not match your mpd config. If that does not do it, try changing the host in miniplayer to 127.0.0.1.

Also, is there a purpose to the percent sign at the end of both files?

No luck with those changes. Still get the message "Put some beats on!" after restarting the mpd service. The percent sign is a remain of the copy&paste, it's not in the config files.

miniplayer conf:

[player]
music_directory = /home/itook/musica/great
font_width = 11
font_height = 24
image_method = pixcat

[mpd]
host = localhost

log_file "/home/itook/.mpd/mpd.log"

        name "pulse audio"
 }

         type "fifo"
         name "my_fifo"
         path "/tmp/mpd.fifo"
         format "44100:16:2"
}

GuardKenzie, forget about this. I am used to these strange errors on my old laptop. The 32-bit architecture is rare and produces weird errors because of its different dependencies.

GuardKenzie · 2021-02-07T16:56:43Z

I have one more idea. Could you please run the following python code and post your results?

from mpd import MPDClient
c = MPDClient()
c.connect("127.0.0.1", 6600)
print(c.currentsong())
print(c.status())

Itookmyprozac · 2021-02-07T17:23:19Z

running python3 pythoncode.py gives this result:

{}
{'volume': '-1', 'repeat': '0', 'random': '0', 'single': '0', 'consume': '0', 'playlist': '2', 'playlistlength': '0', 'mixrampdb': '0.000000', 'state': 'stop'}

I don't know if it is relevant, but I forgot to write the version of python and obtained a different result. So running running python pythoncode.py gives this result:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pythoncode.py", line 1, in <module>
    from mpd import MPDClient
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mpd'

mpd is running:

If you have pip installed, you could try running pip install --force-reinstall miniplayer. A reboot also never hurts.

python-mpd2 doesn't appear to recognize that you are playing any music. If this issue persists after reinstalling and you are, in fact, playing music then it is an issue with that library.

Reinstalled but with the same results. Yep, it's not a problem of miniplayer but something related to my system, probably what you point. Case closed, then.

I'll try to install miniplayer on a modern distro with up to date libraries.

Thank you, GuardKenzie.

I can confirm the issue in manjaro 64 bit aswell.
my miniplayer default config

[player]
music_directory = ~/Music
font_width = 11
font_height = 24
image_method = pixcat
volume_step = 5
auto_close = false
album_art_only = false
show_playlist = true

[mpd]
host = localhost
port = 6600

mpd conifg

music_directory "/Music"
playlist_directory "/.config/mpd/playlists"
db_file "/.config/mpd/database"
log_file "syslog"
state_file "/.config/mpd/state"
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
port "6600"
auto_update "yes"
input {
plugin "curl"
}
audio_output {
type "pulse"
name "My Pulse Output"
}

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