How to Add Files to mpd using python-mpd2
The music player daemon, mpd
, and its client counterpart mpc
operate on a managed directory structure. All paths are relative to this root directory. You cannot make mpd
play a file from just anywhere, it seems. This is important to know when you script MPDClient
using python-mpd2
, because when you try to add any absolute path, even those pointing into the managed directory, you’ll be in trouble.
