I'm using mpd without problems with kamikaze 7.09. But under 8.09 don't works (2.4 and 2.6 too).

opkg install mpd, change paths in config, etc., then start:

mpd: can't load library 'libshout.so.3'

Ok, opkg install libshout ->

mpd: can't load library 'libvorbis.so.0'

Ok, opkg install libvorbis ->

mpd: can't load library 'libtheora.so.0'

Ok, opkg install libtheora ->

mpd: can't load library 'libspeex.so.1'   ( I'm going crazy )

Ok,  opkg install libspeex

mpd: can't load library 'libavformat.so.52'

But i can't find libavformat package in any repository. What can i do?

Anybody successfully running mpd under 8.09?

Hello
It seems that there is an error in the configure parameters of mpd
I build my own mpd package and it works as usual.

Here you can download my package. Its compiled only with alsa support (no oss)
http://rapidshare.de/files/46141015/mpd … a.ipk.html

Thank you for your package, i put into  /tmp and try:

root@LaySoft:~# opkg install /tmp/mpd_0.14-1_mipsel_with.alsa.ipk   
Multiple packages (mpd and mpd) providing same name marked HOLD or PREFER.  Using latest.
Installing mpd (0.14-1) to root...
Collected errors:
* Package mpd md5sum mismatch. Either the opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'.

Ok, i installed dependencies:

opkg install libflac
opkg install libid3tag
opkg install libmad
opkg install libvorbisidec
opkg install libiconv
opkg install glib2

Then i removed openwrt repository, and install your package successfully. (I'm sure is there any simple way to install multiple packages, but i don't know.) Edit mpd.conf and start. Mpd plays music, but only recognized mp3 files, flac not. In the log only this:

Mar 16 20:46 : can't find alsa mixer_control "PCM"
Mar 16 20:46 : using software volume

I don't understand this, because In the config i enabled alsa mixer:

mixer_type                      "alsa"
mixer_device                    "default"
mixer_control                   "PCM"

What i doing wrong?

I had the same issue and installed kloud's mpd package. But then mpd couldn't play internet radio streams. I guess it was compiled without support for this.

Anyway, I fixed it by reinstalling the mpd from the official reps. To get libavformat, you just have to install the package ffmpeg. I also still get the error about the mixer, but the volume control in mpd works, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Good luck.

@thomaslundgaard: yes the package is compiled without support for streams. thanks for the solution for the original mpd package

I have also the same problem with the alsa mixer - and I have no idea for a solution..

Since mpd version 0.14 streaming support requires libcurl. A package with Alsa and streaming support for 8.09/2.6 is available at
http://www.liacs.nl/~jwitteve/openwrt/8 … /packages/

I've found the solution for this error with the volume control of mpd

Mar 16 20:46 : can't find alsa mixer_control "PCM"
Mar 16 20:46 : using software volume

It's very simple: The name of the mixer control is wrong, so mpd can't find it.
The right name for me is "Speaker"
you can find the mixer name with the command: amixer

So the right mpd.conf is
mixer_type                      "alsa"                                         
mixer_device                    "default"                                     
mixer_control                   "Speaker"
