 Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2006 5:11 am Post subject: Problems with mpd losing connection |
 |
|
Ok, quick, annoying, and somewhat strange mpd problem.
I (like many others) don't shut down my PC all the time. Well, I keep mpd running constantly, but recently I've been having issues with it not working.
I've tried to get it to run via mpc, ncmpc, but all that seems to work (since the connection seems to be timing out. Don't know much about hunting down errors in those kind of places) is restarting mpd, and I don't want to do so via cronjob since it should work without a deamon reboot.
It seems to cause problems when you stop playing music, like its dropping the connection or something (it is running, but not accepting connections I guess).
Anyone got any ideas, need any info, or something?
BTW: This isn't on a network.

Output of "egrep -v -e '^[[:space:]]*#' -e '^[[:space:]]*$' -e 'password' /etc/mpd.conf" might help.
And what /var/log/mpd/mpd.error.log says after this happens.. |

Ok, this is odd. Max connections I have set is 5, and I am the only one who connects to mpd -.-
My mpd.conf is pretty stock. I didn't see a need to mess with it any (I've tweaked it some to see about fixing the problems, though), so I don't think posting it would do much good due in fact to the fact that mpd started acting up BEFORE I make config changes.

| Try adding 'log_level "secure"' in mpd.conf to see from where are those connections coming from. |

Something I just noticed - mpd isn't logging anything atm o.o
The dates on the log there are for Nov 13 (the last), and last night was Dec 2...
wtf...

Hmm... Maybe "/etc/init.d/mpd stop && mpd --no-daemon --stdout --verbose" shows the cause. |

That seems odd, doesn't it? Someone connects to play a file, and it closes all connections...
EDIT:
It kind of froze, so I opened another terminal. /etc/init.d/mpd stop says mpd hadn't even started...
Maybe I should just remove all my config files, uninstall, eclean-distfiles, and then try a reinstall?

I commented out the lines dealing with the connection prefrences. It seemed to work, even though I randomly have 2 or 3 connections on the same port.

I too am having problems with this.
Things used to work fine 0.13.0, but since the upgrade I start mpd using the init script, but then can't connect with either of the clients I've tried (mpc and gmpc) and /var/log/mpd/mpd.error just indicates that Max Connections have been reached.
I've tried uncommenting the relevant line in /etc/mpd.conf to explicitly specify five connections, and restarted mpd, but it makes no difference.
I tried emerge -C mpd && eclean-dist && eclean-pkg && emerge mpd then manually modified /etc/mpd.conf back to the same configuration that had previously worked, but no joy.
Very frustrating as I now can't stream music to icecast (which I've not explicitly started yet, so it can't be that which is connecting) to listen to music downstairs.
Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated.
Cheers

I know that this is a ridiculously late reply, but I just had (and solved) the same problem when I moved to baselayout-2, and I imagine that lots of other people will also have the same problem in the coming weeks.
Basically, MPD gets sad if MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT are not set globally. I have no idea why, or why it worked under baselayout-1. I assume there was a file setting these somewhere. Anyhow, adding the following to /etc/env.d/99mpd fixes the problem:
| Code: |
MPD_HOST=127.0.0.1
MPD_PORT=6600
|
These are used by the server and as defaults for the client, but if you want to connect to other hosts, you can always override them in your shell.

I think those variables are supposed to be set by mpd at startup, and aren't supposed to be set outside of mpd's default config.
If you want to do that, I'd see about parsing the config file and using the listed entries there, or else using the defaults (which, again, should be set by mpd)

I am sorry, but I think I have to disappoint you Roguelazer but
I have exactly set the variables you prospose since I am using MPD to ensure the correct default username vor the clients.
It is not set by the mpd-daemon itself at all.
It is only use for those clients, that cannot take the username and host by the commandline as mpc.
I am actually having the same issue as all of you do.
mpd plays perfectly, I can skip forward, backwards, load playlists, save playlists and so on.
But as soon as I pause or stop mpd by whichever client I cannot restart playback of mpd.
mpc still reporst that mpd is playing but after 3 or 4 attempts to actually get it to play, mpd connection times out and will never ever accept any connection
from whatever client 
The logs in my case don't show anything at all. Not even the run out of connections issue occoured!
Sorry musiclovers but simply setting the environmental variables does not solve the problem, at least not for me
I also already watched out on the official mpd-homepage for a bug addressing that issue but did not find one (to be honest I could not even find a buglist, maybe I was too lazy to search deep enough).
Well hopefully someone can solve this soon
MPD ROCKS ANYWAY |
