You see I have the “mp3_dir=etc” ….. but the server can’t read it on restart

I’m on Version 0.2.4

Any tips … best regards ev

At the moment I can’t see anything obvious. I have never used 0.2.4 so I wonder if that may be related – I am currently on the recent nightly release 1586 (from http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org/), but I got his working with 1511 I think.

But before you change anything big – let’s check the basics… Have you tried with just a single directory specifed? Can you see the directory(s) at the location specified? (try
cd /share/hdd/data/mp3/all
for example to change to that directory, then
ls
to see the files and directories there)

(and apologes in advance if you know all that stuff 🙂 )

If anyone else can see a problem here that I’m missing – please join in…

8) …. the server is running perfectly with 4 mp3 filled folders, all named separately with their own conf file as shares in iTunes …let’s call them A, B, C % D … but only with one mp3_dir line is each conf file, ex:

mp3_dir         /share/hdd/data/mp3/A

… and all the folders (dirs) are present.

so far so good

I’m trying to combine these four in share All as follows:

mp3_dir=/share/hdd/data/mp3/all,/share/hdd/data/mp3/A,/share/hdd/data/mp3/B,/share/hdd/data/mp3/C,/share/hdd/data/mp3/D

and I get this error when restarting the server:

# /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd
Required config entry ‘mp3_dir’ not specified
Error reading config file (/opt/etc/mt-daapd/all/mt-daapd.conf)
# mp3_dir=/share/hdd/data/mp3/all,/share/hdd/data/mp3/A,/share/hdd/data/mp3/B,/share/hdd/data/mp3/C,/share/hdd/data/mp3/D
#
I wonder as well if it’s ver 2.4.2 related ….
