MPD protocol version issue causing problems with album list in mpdroid

[gijsstat]

I have mopidy version 1.1.1 installed using the sqlite local library. In mpdroid I can see the artists, but the album tab remains empty. When I look in mopidy's debug I see this happening:

Request from [::ffff:192.168.179.26]:53762: list "album" "group" "artist"
DEBUG 2015-10-18 10:27:00,700 [22935:MpdSession-19] mopidy.mpd.session
Response to [::ffff:192.168.179.26]:53762: ACK [2@0] {list} not able to parse args

mpdroid asks the album list like this apparently because the version of the mpd protocol reported by mopidy is 0.19.0. When I 'patch' the devel version of mopidy to report 0.17.0 it works flawlessly, because mpdroid asks simply for list "album". But it is probably better if this is fixed in another way ;-).

The mpdroid developers suggested I ask here. Thanks for any help,

Thanks for the report. It certainly does look like we did miss some changes to the MPD protocol including this one and I've opened an issue to track all of these.

We should probably go back to reporting 0.18 or 0.17 as long as support for groups hasn't been added. I'm also tempted to wonder if we should turn the protocol version to report into a setting, though that might cause a lot of other problems when people start setting it themselves.
