Im attempting to setup MPD on windows so I can use my windows machine as a music streaming server.
Windows Server 2019
Latest version of MPD.exe from MPD website.
Confirmed audio drives are working fine and I can get sound.
However, When I run MPD, nothing happens. I get this message.
C:\mpd>mpd --no-config --stdout
decoder: Decoder plugin 'wildmidi' is unavailable: configuration file does not exist: /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg
output: No 'audio_output' defined in config file
output: Successfully detected a jack audio device
When I test with telnet, telnet open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 6600 it failes to connect, guess there is no open socket.
The message doesnt exactly look like a error.
Ive also tried with a config.
music_directory "C:/mpd/media"
log_file "C:/mpd/mpd.log"
db_file "C:/mpd/mpd.db"
playlist_directory "C:/mpd/playlists"
audio_output {
type "winmm"
name "Speakers"
device "High Definition Audio Device"
}
But no matter what, it fails to find my Hardware device with the following error.
C:\mpd>mpd data/config.conf
Jan 22 16:59 : decoder: Decoder plugin 'wildmidi' is unavailable: configuration file does not exist: /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg
Jan 22 16:59 : exception: Failed to open C:/mpd/mpd.db: The system cannot find the file specified.
: No such file or directory
Jan 22 16:59 : exception: Failed to configure output in line 5; device "High Definition Audio Device" is not found
I have also disabled windows firewall to rule that out.
Any ideas?
Thanks
