Launched with mpdscribble --conf configFile

I can't reproduce this problem. Are you really sure you're using mpdscribble 0.23? Your log output shows you did not launch mpdscribble with mpdscribble --conf configFile but with systemd. Did you edit the systemd service file to add this parameter? If this is true, then you removed the --no-daemon option, which is important (but does not cause this problem). Something is wrong with your bug report, I think.

I ran mpdscribble --conf because the systemd launcher consistently failed. I did not edit it !

$ sudo service mpdscribble start
Job for mpdscribble.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

I ran mpdscribble --conf

No, you did not. The output you just pasted demonstrated again that you did not do that. You did not post any data showing that you ever did mpdscribble --conf ....

[pluc]

$ ps aux | grep mpdsc
pluc        5176  0.0  0.0 179900 19260 ?        Ss   08:12   0:00 mpdscribble --conf /home/pluc/.config/mpdscribble/mpdscribble.conf

That is the only way I can get it to run.

[MaxKellermann]

But the error you posted is not from that process. If it were, it wouldn't be running. Your bug report makes no sense, therefore I close it (unless you can explain the obvious contradictions).

[pluc]

The error report I posted was to show you that I can't run mpdscribble from systemd.

It makes sense you just choose not to understand.

If you believe that I "just choose not to understand", then please never again ask for my help. Becaus I now "just choose to never spend my free time to help you at no cost".
