HTTPD stream

[bonelifer]

Now that I changed the httpd to lame, 320, I can't get MPDroid or any other mpd client which supports the httpd stream. When my set up was wrong with wave and HTTPD_OUTPUT_ENCODER_BITRATE and HTTPD_OUTPUT_ENCODER_QUALITY set, at least MPDroid would grab the stream and play it. Not sure what to do. Everything seems right. mpd is running as I an able to listen on the desktop via pulseaudio.

.env

HTTPD_OUTPUT_CREATE=yes
HTTPD_OUTPUT_ENABLED=yes
HTTPD_OUTPUT_NAME="HTTP Stream"
HTTPD_OUTPUT_PORT=8000
HTTPD_OUTPUT_BIND_TO_ADDRESS=192.168.1.80
HTTPD_OUTPUT_ENCODER=lame
HTTPD_OUTPUT_ENCODER_BITRATE=320
HTTPD_OUTPUT_MAX_CLIENTS=0
HTTPD_OUTPUT_ALWAYS_ON=yes
HTTPD_OUTPUT_TAGS=yes
HTTPD_OUTPUT_FORMAT=44100:16:2
HTTPD_OUTPUT_MIXER_TYPE=software
PULSE_AUDIO_OUTPUT_CREATE=yes
ENFORCE_PLAYER_STATE=no
AUTO_UPDATE=yes
PUID=1000
GUID=1000

Looks ok... can you post the logs of mpd so I can check the generated file?

docker-compose logs mpd-alsa

Let's also see if mpd cannot open the specified port. The logs should provide the information hopefully

[GioF71]

One thing, if you use host networking, port mapping has no effect. You are probably getting the warning from docker-compose I believe

[GioF71]

Also check in mympd that the output if effectively enabled

Hello @bonelifer, did you solve the issue?

[bonelifer]

Sorry haven't had a chance, have been working on revising a website. I'll close this for now and reopen it when I have time. Thanks for getting back to me.

You can leave it open, no worries. I was just asking for an update!
