mt-daapd Playlist options in webadmin panel not showing up?

[coolbeansdude51]

Hello,

First off HOLY COW what an amazing piece of software. I am truely impressed. I am in love with it already.

To my question. I can’t seem to find the playlist section in my webadmin control panel.

I am running
mt-daapd — 0.2.4
Linux FC 5 i686-pc-linux-gnu

Everything else works perfectly. Just this small issue.

Thanks,

To edit smart playlists, it’s on the tab marked “smart” on the web admin.

I don’t have that option on my web admin.

Aah, sorry… didn’t read your post well. The playlists on 0.2.4 are edited in the playlist file. There is a sample playlist in the distribution under contrib called mt-daapd.playlist (which your package probably put in /etc).

So basically, copy the contrib/mt-daapd.playlist to the /etc directory (if it isn’t already there) and make sure you have a line in your config file like:

playlist /etc/mt-daapd.playlist

You can look at the playlist file for examples of playlists and syntax and stuff.

The web based editing is only on the nightlies (http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org).

Hi
I am new with mt-daapd, it’s work fine with amarok, thanks a lot
But, I viewed the posts, still no idea of playlist

I am sure there is mt-daapd.playlist in /etc, and I did not edit any more
I am still sure “playlist /etc/mt-daapd.playlist” in /etc/mt-daapd.conf, and did some edits

Is the playlist would be in webadmin? Now I can not find any playlist

Thanks a again.

If this is version 0.2.4, then the /etc/mt-daapd.playlist is the file to edit. You will have to stop and start the server for the playlist to take effect.

The playlist is only in the webadmin if you are running a newer version that 0.2.4. Either from the nightlies page or from a debian or gentoo package that is newer than 0.2.4.

Thanks for you reply
You mean, I have to edit /etc/mt-daapd.playlist? Is there any example?

BTW: Could I use mt-daapd to share my music to remote user for downloading?

I copied a playlist file from here http://wiki.sblug.org/Setup_iTunes_server_in_linux
but still not take effect

You have to stop and start the server for it to take effect.

Also, you are running the server as “nobody”, but serving files from your home directory. Unless your home directory is world readable, the “nobody” user won’t be able to read any files.

Might either move the music files out of your home directory, or run your music server as your user.
