The ultimate MPD guide (Page 3 of 3)

The real issue with starting as user for me is the gnome-keyring thing, I think. I didn't change that line in the config, it was already uncommented on mine. Will comment it out and check out your setup in the main post.

EDIT:

Okay, so there's still no tag_cache file, but it's updating the database somehow? tail -f ~/.mpd/mpd.log shows that it's busy.

EDIT: IDK, it's working fine, I'm playing a music with ncmpcpp now. Going to move all my network music to be local on this netbook, I have the disk space.

Mmkay, it's almost completely working. It's not mixing audio, though. I can't do anything with sound as well as have mpd playing music/started.

Video loaded in VLC + audio running from chrome works great, until I start mpd, which won't play any audio.

If I have something playing audio open (mocp, vlc, youtube, or all at the same time works fine) and mpd starts without issue, but if I play a song it doesn't play.

If I start mpd, open anything else and play audio it will work, unless mpd is playing a song, in which case it won't. The only relevant error I can make come up is with MoC, here it is:

┌─[ robert@s10 ]──[ ~ ] 
└[#!]¬ mocp
Running the server...
Trying JACK...
Trying ALSA...
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Trying OSS...

FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver!


FATAL_ERROR: Server exited!

my .asoundrc (although multiple programs worked without this before, I'm pretty sure):

pcm.dsp {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmix"
}

No dice. I'm not super worried about it at the moment, but it'll confuse me later on down the line I'm sure. Everything else is working fine, though. Will be googling.

trying this now

commenting out the optionals worked, trying a couple of other things now too.

Now I broke something again, restarting it all over.
