Hi Folks, I tried a couple of Linux forums, but not had much joy, so I was wondering if someone on this list might know:
Im running mpd on Ubuntu Server and for the most part it works ok, however to get it to work after its been idle for a time or the home router gets switched off, you have to login to the server in order to actually list the playlists and get it to play a song or stream. I thought perhaps its something I got wrong with configs etc, once you login you can play mpd all day, and we often use it to play the radio or mp3 files. (Its actually quite funny when you show people how it works and you happen to be using a iPad or iPod client for example because they think its some expensive apple solution and they are suprised when I tell them it costs £0 to setup and runs on a 12 year old laptop with a missing screen :-) ) ...anyway... I digress... so I have another machine at home here and that runs mpd too, I used it to set it up and test it before I setup the server and it was still on there. I noticed I have the same problem. I can connect to mpd when the machine is on but only when I login to a user account locally I can play the song. Its almost as if something isn't quite started until you login. Has anyone seen this kind of problem? It would be great to get this sorted because is a great example of how you can recycle an old PC and its not just windows / apple devices that "just work" Thanks! Mark
