Mopidy + MPD blank screen #53

Open aeikenberry opened 7 years ago

aeikenberry commented 7 years ago

I know you're probably sick of blank screen complaints! I implemented someone's suggestion to output to /tmp/mpd.fifo and i can tail that and it seems to be working, but I'm not seeing any visuals when vis runs. It's not the naming conflict, and with activity in mpd.fifo, i'm not sure where to do.

my ~/.config/vis/config

audio.sources=mpd
mpd.fifo.path=/tmp/mpd.fifo

One common issue I have seen with mopidy is the permissions for the fifo file are set to a different user. Do you mind checking the permissions for /tmp/mpd.fifo with ls -altr /tmp/mpd.fifo?

if it helps at all, the ncmpcpp visualizer is working, but it doesn't seem very accurate, not matching the music very well.

Sorry for the late response here. I've been unable to duplicate this myself. Could you test again with just plain old mpd with no ncmpcpp running or anything else that might be reading from /tmp/mpd.fifo?
