MPD and Brightness module not working

[inodinwetrust10]

Describe the bug I am experiencing two separate issues on my Arch Linux system:

MPD (Music Player Daemon) is unable to add music files due to an "Access denied" error.
Adjusting the screen brightness via keyboard shortcuts or software is not working as expected.

Operating System: Manjaro Linux MPD Version: latest Polybar Version: latest Window Manager: bspwm Hardware: Asus ROG strix g17

Expected behavior MPD returns an "Access denied" error when trying to add the music file. Screen brightness does not change or does not respond to input as expected. and both the modules are not visible Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken: Verified file and directory permissions for the music file and ~/Music directory. Ensured MPD is running as the correct user with necessary permissions. Checked MPD configuration and restarted MPD service. Attempted different methods to adjust brightness, including xbacklight, brightnessctl, and manual adjustment through /sys/class/backlight.
