MPD could not find any local wma files

[Nao]

Hello, I am new to Wifi Radio and Linux environment.

I am currently working on OpenWRT(10.03) /MPD (0.15.8) on Buffalo WZR-300NH router and
I was able to play local mp3 files on the router.

However, MPD could not find any wma files stored in local.
I did try same wma files on Ubuntu/ MPD (0.15.4) and MPD could find/play wma file in local directory.

Judgeing by the other threads, I understand that there are a couple of problem on MMS/WMA streaming but
as a first step, I simply want to play wma files in local directory.

Can anyone advice me what I am missing???

Here is my mpd --version information on my OpenWRT

Code: Select all

root@OpenWrt:~# mpd --version
mpd (MPD: Music Player Daemon) 0.15.8

So you are running "mpc add file.wma" and they don't show up in the playlist? Any error messages?

[jeroen94704]

"mpc add" can only add files that are already in the mpd database. You cannot just add any file on your local HD. Make sure the wma file is actually in your DB by using "mpc listall".

As an aside, I believe mpd only adds tracks to the library it can decode. From your "mpd --version" output, it looks like you cannot decode wma files at all with the build, so it may be that mpd simply skips any wma files in your music directory.

Jeroen,

I see wma in his list of protocols...

I thought that on the local machine, "mpc add <file>" would add the file to the DB?

Ah, there's a scrollbar ....

I thought that on the local machine, "mpc add <file>" would add the file to the DB?

That's not what my mpc does. I get an "error: ACK [50@0] {add} directory or file not found" message when I try that. Maybe a build/config option?

Woops, sorry for not providing further information.
(I thought that BB provide an notice by email when I have response..)

MPD can not find means, even I specify "MPC ls" it only returns mp3 file even though there are
a couple of wma file in local music directory.

So there are no ways to "MPC add foo.wma" since MPD dabase does not recognize wma files

Hi Jeroen

Thanks for your comment

In order to add your files, you need to move your current directory to your specified music directory
then you should be able to add your files which MPD db recognised.
Otherwise, you will get "error: ACK [50@0] {add} directory or file not found"

But my case is "MPD db does not recognize any wma files at all
even though I refreshed MPD Database or recreateed MPD database..."

I have tried to replaced latest libffmpeg version (0.5.2-4) and all related dependancies (which are libflac, libpostproc, libtheora, mpd)
that Backfilre 10.03.1-RC4 contains but it gave me below error....

It complained no oss output
even though I have not changed any USB audio driver or anything.

Code: Select all

root@OpenWrt:/# mpd
output: line 189: No such audio output plugin: oss
Aborted

I'm sorry that I can't help you with your wma issue.

Regarding OSS, the only thing I can think of would be to make sure your mpd.conf file is still present and has OSS enabled.

The best place to seek help for this is probably the OpenWrt or mpd forums.

Thanks for the info, Jeff

I posted the same question on OpenWRT forum.
