I'm trying to set up a simple MPD instance to stream audio files over HTTP. What I'd like to be able to do is put in a URL in my browser, which will stream the audio file - as simple as possible.
I've set MPD to listen to a local port, and it appears to be working - I get an
OK MPD 0.23.4
when browsing to [my-IP]:6600
.
I've tried setting the built in HTTPD server as well:
audio_output {
type "httpd"
name "HTTP Stream"
encoder "vorbis" # optional, vorbis or lame
port "8000"
bind_to_address "[my-ip]" # optional, IPv4 or IPv6
## quality "6.0" # do not define if bitrate is defined
bitrate "192" # do not define if quality is defined
format "48000:16:2"
max_clients "0" # optional 0=no limit
}
Once that was done, I added a file named test.ogg
to the top level directory - and MPD picks it up (from /var/log/mpd.log
):
update: added /test.ogg
But when trying to access the file via browser or VLC ([my-ip]:8000/test.ogg
) , I get an error:
Not found
MPD runs from my user, and permissions are OK - I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
How can I get MPD to stream HTTP files, as simply as possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
