MPD 集中營 (18May15: Voyage MPD 出 album art setting sharing)

PhantomGTR

經師兄早幾天提點，我終於對 voyage mpd 出 album 明白多一點。經過幾天搵資料及嘗試，我相信已經解決 mpd 出封面這個問題。

Preparation:
首先，所有 tag 咗係 music file 入面既相都係會 ignore 的。一定要係同一 folder 內放相，可以 jpg, png，e.g. folder.jpg, or folder.png。但要留意係 case sensitive, 不可以係 folder.JPG, nor folder.PNG。如果呢一套多隻 CD，而又係分開 folder 放的，咁就要每一個 folder 都要有自己的 folder.jpg。

folder.jpg 的 dimension 很彈性，我唔知佢去到幾細同幾大先唔得。唔而要係 500 x 500 。


Step:
1) disable internet download cover options in mpd client
2) delete all the album cache in mpd client
3) 係問 music path, 或 album path 個到入 "http://<voyage ip>/Music", e.g. http://192.168.0.1/Music 。記住係 case sensitive， 要 "Music", not "music".
4) close and restart mpd client
5) refresh database in mpd client

以我用開的 cantata 來說，如果你已經 run 緊佢，咁你中途 update 的 album art 係唔會即刻出現，要 close and restart cantata 先睇到。


係手機中，我用 mpdroid (android 機)，入面都係同樣咁輸入。

因為無時間試其他 client，如有出入，各位請執生及 report 一下，大家參詳、參詳。

Phantom C Hing, I have installed MPD 0.10. However, don't know why it can't play SACD iso directly. Is there any special settings?

>> Files from my notebook (Win7).
So u mount with options "cifs", right?

>> I can play all other file formats, but not ISO
I tested this when I was trying his nightly version.  In my memory, mpd showed the contents inside the iso as there were already extracted.  But not showing there was an ISO waiting for you to click and explore inside.

Now it's pity I deleted those iso, so I can't test with this official release.

C Hing, yes, I used CIFs to mount. Don't know why I can see any ISO file or any files inside the folder containing ISO.

c hing, then I don't know la, sorry.

The core player inside voyage mpd of course is "mpd" itself.  It used mpd 0.19, it claimed it can read iso.

Thanks CHing. I think the mpd bundled in voyage ver doesn't enable iso support. I will try to compile my own mpd tonight and see if I can enable this function. One thing, your installation is on voyage mpd or voyage Linux?

You're welcome.  I use the voyage mpd.   Voyage linux got no mpd inside.

Finally, I have upgraded to 0.20. However, it is still not able to read ISO. Let me boil more to see if this version is good to go or not.

My 2 cents, for those C Hing who wants to multi-boot Windows/Voyage MDP, you can try to install GRUB2 under Linux. Free, and easy to use. Original GRUB in Voyage MDP can't support Multi-boot for Windows very well.
