I get connection to personal failed or failed to send command to personal - not connected, every time i open it up.
Google doesnt give any useful clues and a reinstall didnt help either.
I tried with gmpc to see if its cantata that messes up, but no. gmpc says error 13 problems to connect to localhost.
Mpd & in terminal gives this output:
Jormvngandr@localhost:~> exception: unrecognized parameter in config file at line 283: type
And when looking at line 283 and the surrounding lines:
# An example of a pulseaudio output (streaming to a remote pulseaudio server)
#
#audio_output {
type "pulse"
name "Pulse Output"
## server "remote_server" # optional
## sink "remote_server_sink" # optional
If i try to start it as a service with service mpd start (same thing if i try with a restart)
ob for mpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status mpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
[1]+ Avslut 1 mpd
If i run a status check i get this:
● mpd.service - Music Player Daemon

And before someone asks, no i havent edited any files manually since i dont know how to & where to find them. This is a clean install of 15.2 with just the “first run” setup that cantata shows.
Clarification comment
Mpd & in terminal gives this output:
Jormvngandr@localhost:~> mpd &
[1] 6849
Jormvngandr@localhost:~> exception: unrecognized parameter in config file at line 283: type
And if i look at line 283 in a text editor it says this:
An example of a pulseaudio output (streaming to a remote pulseaudio server)
#audio_output {
type “pulse”
name “Pulse Output”
server “remote_server” # optional
sink “remote_server_sink” # optional
If i try to run it, or restart it as a service.
Jormvngandr@localhost:~> systemctl start mpd

Looks like a few # was missing so edited the config so the config should look like this around line 283
An example of a pulseaudio output (streaming to a remote pulseaudio server)
#audio_output {
#type “pulse”
#name “Pulse Output”
server “remote_server” # optional
sink “remote_server_sink” # optional
This is how a status check looks after the edit of the config
Jormvngandr@localhost:~> systemctl --user start mpd.service
Jormvngandr@localhost:~> sudo systemctl status mpd
[sudo] lösenord för root:

So how do i take it from here? any suggestions?
