Question about mpd config #124

Closed vaskark closed 5 years ago

vaskark commented 5 years ago

Hi. I followed the instructions and added

audio_output {
    type                    "fifo"
    name                    "GLava"
    path                    "/tmp/mpd.fifo"
    format                  "22050:16:2"
}

to my ./config/mpd/mpd.conf file. But I already have a block of code there:

audio_output {
       type      "fifo"
       name      "Visualizer feed"
       path       "/tmp/mpd.fifo"
       format     "44100:16:2"
}

So do I delete this original block? I assume I do.

Also, when I run GLava with audio=fifo it seems to react differently from when I don't use that flag option (just the usual glava --desktop). Is this normal?

I'm running latest glava from git on Ubuntu 19.04. Thanks. Great app, btw.

I assume you already have that from running cava or similar software. All that matters is the path and format. If for some reason you would like to use both you can set the source in GLava to a different path.
