playing tunes from archives

[Listener]

John,

You've gone 'full battle dress' into the frey... I give up  

(I may give it a little nudge )

Not sure I wanted to do that, just trying to explain why I like archiving.

Best,

Here's a version dump from my latest compile that includes archive support. Let me know if u want to try it out.

Yeah, I'd love to try it out and report.

1. Save current MPD 0.20.20 just in case

Code:

cd ~
cp /usr/local/bin/mpd ./mpd-0.20.20

2. Download and unzip MPD 0.21.3

Code:

wget http://moodeaudio.org/test/mpd-0.21.3-archivetest.zip
unzip mpd-0.21.3-archivetest.zip
rm mpd-0.21.3-archivetest.zip

3. Install dev libs. All of these except for libbz2-dev and libzzip-dev should already be installed and at newest version.

Code:

sudo apt-get -y install \
libyajl-dev \
libasound2-dev \
libavahi-client-dev \
libavcodec-dev \
libavformat-dev \
libboost-dev \
libbz2-dev \
libcdio-paranoia-dev \
libcurl4-gnutls-dev \
libfaad-dev \
libflac-dev \
libglib2.0-dev \
libicu-dev \
libid3tag0-dev \
libiso9660-dev \
libmad0-dev \
libmpdclient-dev \
libmpg123-dev \
libmp3lame-dev \
libshout3-dev \
libsoxr-dev \
libsystemd-dev \
libvorbis-dev \
libwavpack-dev \
libwrap0-dev \
libzzip-dev

4. Install new build of MPD with archive support

Code:

sudo mv mpd-0.21.3-archivetest /usr/local/bin/mpd
sudo systemctl restart mpd

The MPD database should automatically start updating. Wait till finished then try to play some archives :-)

Ok Tim, had some time today and all went well. Those were the only two missing libraries. 'mpd -V, reports archiving good to go. The update did not start automagically, so I started it manually. Will report back when it is done.

Ok Tim, installed, updated, and working--at least with zip archives, haven't tested others yet.

Haven't gotten auto-shuffle to work yet. Is there are doc or a helpful thread somewhere?

Happy new year,
