[SOLVED] Moode 4.4 /cover art in remote app

[duke.g]

@Herman,

here is a short list composed of things you have to do for "your" symlink: This is not my own work, I just collected different things and put them together:
1. Create Symlink
sudo ln -s /var/lib/mpd/music /var/www/cover
2. Create a file named "symcoverlink" (or whatever you like) in /etc/init.d
sudo nano /etc/init.d/symcoverlink
3. Add the follwing content
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: symcoverlink
# Required-Start: $syslog
# Required-Stop: $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Erzeuge Cover SymlinkSymlink wird erstellt
# Description:
### END INIT INFO

case "$1" in
    start)
        echo "Symlink wird erstellt"
        # erzeuge Symlink
        ln -s /var/lib/mpd/music /var/www/cover
        ;;
    stop)
        echo "Symlink wird geloescht"
        # loesche Symlink
        rm /var/www/cover
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Benutzt: /etc/init.d/symcoverlink {start|stop}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

exit 0

4. Save the File
5. Make it executable
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/symcoverlink
6. for test purpose
sudo /etc/init.d/symcoverlink start - creates the Symlink
sudo /etc/init.d/symcoverlink stop - deletes the Symlink
7. edit rc.local and insert a line at the end
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
7a. Insert
su root -c '/etc/init.d/symcoverlink start' - this creates the symlink during boot as user root
8. In MpDroid enter http://moode/cover as your cover-root.

I Hope that helps a bit.

Have fun and keep the music playing
