Do you know where to report that correctly? Or determine if its device/OS related?

It looks like the python-mpd2 module is incompatible with Python 3.7.

[novski]

I asked if python-mpd2 can be made >v3.4 suitable. https://github.com/Mic92/python-mpd2/issues/116#issue-621236278

[mrstegeman]

It looks like there's actually a newer version on GitHub than there is on PyPI. Could you try updating?

pip3 install -U "git+https://github.com/Mic92/python-mpd2@v1.1.0#egg=python-mpd2"

[novski]

Yes that does help.

Now I only get Failed to connect to MPD but no socket error more.

[mrstegeman]

Ok, good. Make sure you have mpd running in the background. The code will try to connect to localhost:6600. You can change that, if necessary, inside mpd-webthing.py, in the __init__() method of MPDThing.
