MPD - Fifo Output

Hi there,

I use MPD as my audio server for multi room audio.

I'm trying to pipe MPD into /tmp/snapfifo, however it appears as if the fifo plugin is missing from MPD in LibreELEC, as I get the following error message:

LibreELEC:~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.multimedia.mpd/config # mpd mpd.conf
Nov 09 16:57 : exception: bind to '0.0.0.0:6600' failed (continuing anyway, because binding to '[::]:6600' succeeded): Failed to bind socket: Address already in use
Nov 09 16:57 : hybrid_dsd: The Hybrid DSD decoder is disabled because it was not explicitly enabled
Nov 09 16:57 : exception: Failed to configure output in line 318
Nov 09 16:57 : exception: nested: No such audio output plugin: fifo

Is there anyway to address this, other than using a docker varient?

Thank you for your help

Da Flex ,

Thank you for your reply.

The binding address exception isn't causing me any issues, its the final line:

Nov 09 16:57 : exception: nested: No such audio output plugin: fifo

That is giving me a headache.

If i change this to the default configuration output, which is null, then it all works.

I'm not sure how to tell what mpd was compiled with in LibreELEC to double check it has the fifo plugin included.

Thank you for your reply.

Thats a shame, as my use case would like to use snapcast.

Here is what I've wanted to setup:

* LibreELEC connected to home cinema system, works as a stand alone appliance. (Done)

* Also on LibreELEC is SnapServer and SnapClient. (Done)

* When nothing is playing on kodi, stream the snapclient to the home cinema (Done)

* When a user uses kodi to play something, don't interrupt the multi room audio (Done)

* Control MPD independantly from Kodi (Done, using Rompr)

* Have MPD as the Multi Room Audio Source, piped into snapserver (Unable)

Is this worth posting on the github as an issue, or is my use case to niche?

Thank you

That confirms my behaviour.

And thank you for posting the link to the github where the compile options are. I'll see if I can compile a custom version for myself.

Thank you!

Having compiled mpd with

-Dfifo=true \

Resolved my issue.

Thank you all for your help

Thank you very much!
