Can someone help me with MPD
Trying to play music from usb stick on ALLO USBRIDGE Dietpi (Bullseye)
I know i need MPD and some software to control it. My understanding Bullseye comes with MPD. I just need help getting it to read the the thumb drive as a drive. And then setting up a web based UI to be the controller.
Did you already mounted your USB drive using dietpi-drive_manager? To make it available for the system?
I just put two songs on a small drive to test it. If i can get it to work ill buy a 256Gb stick and then add music n plug it in after
You have the Allo USBridge with Sparky SBC, or Allo USBridge Sig with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+?
Those two can be ordered with DietPi and Allo GUI + audio software pre-installed indeed, which includes MPD and the O!MPD frontend. Brief instructions about how to access and use O!MPD can be found on our docs: https://dietpi.com/docs/software/media/#ompd
There are some other endpoints pre-installed, like the Roon Bridge, Shairport Sync as AirPlay backend, Squeezelite as Logitech Media Server/Squeezebox Server backend, DLNA and such.
An overview and some configuration can be also done with the Allo GUI itself at http://dietpi.local/ with [email protected] username and allo or dietpi as password (not sure which version of Allo GUI it was shipped with 😉). More info here: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-allo-com-web-gui-image/1523
Ay, we need to port this to our docs!
Im not sure how this works. I try doing various FTP with my dietpi's IP but they cannot connect. Maybe i have to do something first?
O!MPD¶
trying to install that one first..
You need to install FTP or Samba server
Or the NFS server. The Samba server however should be installed by default with the Allo GUI image. Was that really pre-installed on the SD card or did you flash a DietPi image manually? If so, then yes, those need to be installed manually. dietpi-software offers a large number of MPD frontends and other media software btw: https://dietpi.com/docs/software/media/
I Got my dietpi directly from allo , and then upgraded from here to bullseye.
Ah, in this case I suggest to flash our Bullseye image in the first place. Upgrading the distro can work but also can fail, especially with such a large number of installed software titles, and it isn't as clean as a fresh Bullseye installation for sure. We have an image with Allo GUI and everything pre-installed as well, even a 64-bit variant: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/DietPi_RPi-ARMv8-Bullseye_AlloGUI.7z
Allo has been informed about the new image a while ago, but re-flashing a probably large number of prepared SD cards isn't economically great, I guess 😉.

just runnig apt upgrade. so now that everything is AS it should be lol. Ill buy a larger thumb USD drive to host ALL my audio.
however now we can actually get to work
Ok well now that i have all that setup . what do i do/ ( i will be heading out so ill follow up later)
Attach the external drive via dietpi-drive_manager. I suggest to move DietPi userdata to this external drive as well, which can be done in dietpi-drive_manager as well. /mnt/dietpi_userdata/Music will then be pointing to the external drive. Then transfer music e.g. via Samba to this directory.
