tunein extensions makes mopidy unusable

[iheilala]

I opened mopidy issue #773 and it helped when I reflashed the RPi sd card. Uninstalling and reinstalling mopidy didn't help.

After flashing the sd card I installed mopidy. It worked great. I installed spotify extension and it worked too. I installed TuneIn extension and mopidy stopped working after reboot. It didn't load any extensions and the state was just like the first time I tried to install mopidy (mopidy issue #773) So it seems TuneIn extensions does something to mopidy...

RPi didn't have pip so I installed it before installing TuneIn sudo apt-get install python-setuptools sudo easy_install pip

Hi again. Mopidy-TuneIn (or any other extension) really should not have this effect. You don't say if Mopidy still worked after installing Mopidy-TuneIn but before rebooting (I expect it continued to work just fine). The fact that this happened previously leads me to think there's something really fishy going on with your SD card, could it be getting corrupted when you reboot? Are you using a reliable power source? Are you using a known good SD card?

Ahh ok I think I might actually have reproduced this on my system... I will get back to you once I've checked some things

I think this might be due to pip installing Mopidy again, so you end up with an installation in /usr/share/mopidy/mopidy (apt) and /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mopidy (pip).

If I remove the pip stuff and reinstall mopidy from apt:

• sudo pip uninstall mopidy-tunein mopidy
• sudo apt-get install mopidy --reinstall
• which mopidy

/usr/bin/mopidy

• cat /usr/bin/mopidy

#! /usr/bin/python
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'Mopidy==0.18.3','console_scripts','mopidy'
__requires__ = 'Mopidy==0.18.3'
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.exit(
        load_entry_point('Mopidy==0.18.3', 'console_scripts', 'mopidy')()
    )

Enabled extensions: spotify, mpd, local, stream

Then install mopidy-tunein:

• sudo pip install mopidy-tunein
• which mopidy

/usr/bin/mopidy

Enabled extensions: spotify, mpd, local, tunein, stream

But when reinstalling it...

• sudo pip install --force-reinstall --upgrade mopidy-tunein
• which mopidy

/usr/local/bin/mopidy

• cat /usr/local/bin/mopidy

#!/usr/bin/python

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys

from mopidy.__main__ import main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(main())

Enabled extensions: mpd, local, tunein, stream

In all three cases Mopidy still works on my system but only the 2nd option gives me all the extensions I want. Something is clearly screwed up here. This was all done with easy_install pip (v1.5.6) but perhaps the behaviour is different when using python-pip from apt....

[kingosticks]

python-pip from APT (v1.4.1) unsurprisingly made no difference.

But in the words of the great @jodal :

APT-installed extensions will only be found by an APT-installed Mopidy. Pip-installed extensions will be found by both APT- and pip-installed Mopidy.

So obviously we want to be running APT-installed Mopidy and that's why the above 2nd option works. On my system, /usr/local/bin is later in the path than /usr/bin and so APT-installed Mopidy gets preference. The --force-reinstall --upgrade options I used must have removed /usr/bin/mopidy and allowed the pip-version to run instead.

@iheilala I'm not sure if any of this is actually related to your problem (but I did find it interesting). Perhaps you could ensure the correct APT-version is what's being run? And maybe also try sudo apt-get install mopidy --reinstall (might want to backup your config file first).

I just realized I can run it /usr/bin/mopidyand both spotify and tunein works. Thanks again!

I don't really understand why it was picking up the pip version but glad it's working for you. On 6 Jul 2014 15:13, "iheilala" notifications@github.com wrote:
