I need help with MPDroid!

[Böbbele]

HI!

First, sorry for my bad english. My Name is Ingo and I come from Germany.
I installed for a few days vortexbox. I'm very happy with it.
Orangesqueeze I use on my smartphone to control vortex player.
Now I want to try it with MPDroid.
Unfortunately it does not work.

Can anyone help me? I would only use it in my home network.
My smartphone is connected via wifi.

Many thanks!

Regards

Ingo

You'll need to configure MPDroid to use the IP number of your VortexBox as Android doesn't support hostnames. Should work fine like that.

Hello Nuno!
Thanks for your answer.
I have entered the IP of my vortexbox. (under MPD-Server Hostname).
It looks like as if there is a connection. But MPDroid can't find my music-collection.
I can not select a song. There is nothing.

Do I need to make settings on my vortexbox?

Regards

Ingo

Do you any music on the files/music/flac folder?

[Böbbele]

I have music on the /files/music/mp3 folder.
On /files/music/flac I have nothing in the moment, because I have only mp3-files.

[nunovi]

MPD is configured by default to read the from the flac folder. You can simply move your files to the flac folder and your library will be accessible on MPDroid. The folders are not really related to the format of the files so there's no problem in getting mp3 files into the flac folder.

Okay, thank you! I will try it. I copy the music.

Maybe Mpd has a config file? You could change the folder?
