| 5 | # Files and directories ####################################################### |
| 6 | # |
| 7 | # This setting controls the top directory which MPD will search to discover the |
| 8 | # available audio files and add them to the daemon's online database. This |
| 9 | # setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be |
| 10 | # be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using |
| 11 | # file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol. |
| 12 | # |
| 13 | music_directory "%music_directory%" |
| 14 | # |
| 15 | # This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this |
| 16 | # directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use |
| 17 | # playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD |
| 18 | # format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled. |
| 19 | # |
| 20 | playlist_directory "%playlist_directory%" |
| 21 | # |
| 22 | # This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to |
| 23 | # load the database at server start up and store the database while the |
| 24 | # server is not up. This setting defaults to disabled which will allow |
| 25 | # MPD to accept files over ipc socket (using file:// protocol) or streaming |
| 26 | # files over an accepted protocol. |
| 27 | # |
| 28 | db_file "%db_file%" |
| 29 | # |
| 30 | # These settings are the locations for the daemon log files for the daemon. |
| 31 | # These logs are great for troubleshooting, depending on your log_level |
| 32 | # settings. |
| 33 | # |
| 34 | # The special value "syslog" makes MPD use the local syslog daemon. This |
| 35 | # setting defaults to logging to syslog, otherwise logging is disabled. |
| 36 | # |
| 37 | log_file "%log_file%" |
| 38 | # |
| 39 | # This setting sets the location of the file which stores the process ID |
| 40 | # for use of mpd --kill and some init scripts. This setting is disabled by |
| 41 | # default and the pid file will not be stored. |
| 42 | # |
| 43 | #pid_file "/var/run/mpd/mpd.pid" |
| 44 | # |
| 45 | # This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about |
| 46 | # most variables to get MPD back into the same general shape it was in before |
| 47 | # it was brought down. This setting is disabled by default and the server |
| 48 | # state will be reset on server start up. |
| 49 | # |
| 50 | state_file "%state_file%" |
| 51 | # |
| 52 | # The location of the sticker database. This is a database which |
| 53 | # manages dynamic information attached to songs. |

| 55 | #sticker_file "~/.mpd/sticker.sql" |

| 60 | # General music daemon options ################################################ |
| 61 | # |
| 62 | # This setting specifies the user that MPD will run as. MPD should never run as |
| 63 | # root and you may use this setting to make MPD change its user ID after |
| 64 | # initialization. This setting is disabled by default and MPD is run as the |
| 65 | # current user. |
| 66 | # |
| 67 | user "mpd" |
| 68 | # |
| 69 | # This setting specifies the group that MPD will run as. If not specified |
| 70 | # primary group of user specified with "user" setting will be used (if set). |
| 71 | # This is useful if MPD needs to be a member of group such as "audio" to |
| 72 | # have permission to use sound card. |
| 73 | # |
| 74 | group "audio" |
| 75 | # |
| 76 | # This setting sets the address for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention |
| 77 | # should be paid if this is assigned to anything other then the default, any. |
| 78 | # This setting can deny access to control of the daemon. |
| 79 | # |
| 80 | # For network |
| 81 | bind_to_address "any" |
| 82 | # |
| 83 | # And for Unix Socket |
| 84 | #bind_to_address "~/.mpd/socket" |
| 85 | # |
| 86 | # This setting is the TCP port that is desired for the daemon to get assigned |
| 87 | # to. |
| 88 | # |
| 89 | #port "6600" |
| 90 | # |
| 91 | # This setting controls the type of information which is logged. Available |
| 92 | # setting arguments are "default", "secure" or "verbose". The "verbose" setting |
| 93 | # argument is recommended for troubleshooting, though can quickly stretch |
| 94 | # available resources on limited hardware storage. |
| 95 | # |
| 96 | #log_level "default" |
| 97 | # |
| 98 | # If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that |
| 99 | # you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves |
| 100 | # the problem, it is highly recommended to fix the MP3 files with vbrfix |
| 101 | # (available from <http://www.willwap.co.uk/Programs/vbrfix.php>), at which |
| 102 | # point gapless MP3 playback can be enabled. |
| 103 | # |
| 104 | #gapless_mp3_playback "yes" |
| 105 | # |

| 118 | # music_directory are changed. |
| 119 | # |
| 120 | #auto_update "yes" |
| 121 | # |
| 122 | # Limit the depth of the directories being watched, 0 means only watch |

| 129 | |
| 130 | # Symbolic link behavior ###################################################### |
| 131 | # |
| 132 | # If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following |
| 133 | # symbolic links outside of the configured music_directory. |
| 134 | # |
| 135 | #follow_outside_symlinks "yes" |
| 136 | # |

| 149 | # |
| 150 | #zeroconf_enabled "yes" |

| 189 | # MPD supports various audio output types, as well as playing through multiple |
| 190 | # audio outputs at the same time, through multiple audio_output settings |
| 191 | # blocks. Setting this block is optional, though the server will only attempt |
| 192 | # autodetection for one sound card. |
