I just installed smpd and want to play music from a local usb drive, i.e. one that is connected to the rpi4 that runs smpd.
Any advice how to achiev this? I only see NAS options.
Hi... there are only instructions for version v0.9X but they might help...
"By default, symphonic-mpd stops supplying bus power to the USB port, so if you want to use USB memory, you need to change that setting.
After connecting ssh,
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Open the file in the editor.
# Disable All USB Port (Without Ethernet)
sudo hub-ctrl -b 1 -d 2 -P 2 -p
Please search the lines above.
Add a "#" to the beginning of the line that starts with "sudo hub-ctrl" to enable bus power delivery to the USB port.
# Disable All USB Port (Without Ethernet)
#sudo hub-ctrl -b 1 -d 2 -P 2 -p
Ctrl-o Enter Ctrl-x
Press Ctrl-o Enter Ctrl-x to save the file and close the editor.
Finally
sudo systemctl reboot
to reboot.
Using USB affects the sound quality. Please make a decision in consideration of convenience. There is a restriction that WAV cannot be played back from USB memory or SD card. If you want to play the WAV, you must disable Direct I/O in the mpd configuration."

Thanks!
In my setup using the network (fiber isolated ethernet with Paul Hynes powered downstream router) for audio streaming affects SQ more negatively than playing from a local usb drive, so my question was for SQ, not convenience (I find streaming from the network more convenient).
Also, I mostly play wav files so this wav limitation could be a deal breaker.
I am interested also to join. I have sent an email to one of the first email addresses at the beginning of this thread. Is this the right wat?

Why do one have to go here to get a logon to an other site? Surely you must be able to apply there?

What steps are required for logon to the symphonic-mpd forum? I have been streaming with Volumio and Rune for some time. I would love to try this software. Thanks for any help.
Fabflix suggested that I contact you in the hopes that I might get an account for the Symphonic MPD site. New member here so I can’t DM you. I have been streaming with Volumio and Rune for some time. My new BOSS2 DAC is due tomorrow and I would love to have a go at this MPD. Thanks for your consideration. My email is crashb4@charter.net.Hi Duanbui,
Please go ahead to this page(SMPD Home -> Enquiry in English).

Create a new thread and ask your question.
A lot of SMPD users are looking at it, so you could get an answer as to why upmpdcli isn't working.
My god, Symphonic MPD is more real and lively. Instruments seem to be so separated and black background. I thought Gentooplayer 70$ was excellent but this takes the crown on my Pi2aes Mercury. Problem is it's hard to get working on mercury. First get a account email: kubotayo@jcom.home.ne.jp After download image:https://www.symphonic-mpd.com/forum/topic/15/ダウンロード-download
Here is tricky part: image does not work with mercury, you have to take and replace 4 files from a working any working os:volumio, moodeaudio, picore etc. sdcard you have : bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb, fixup_cd.dat, start_cd.elf, kernel8.img . Once booted, click update right top corner, then settings, then update button. Next pick the soundcard from right top corner again, select raspi hifiberry digi pro.
Now hit ok and select reboot or force manual poweroff / on button. Optional Now SSH into it via login:root pwd:rasberry , to install upnp (Command: apt install upnp then reboot). Been using windows Stream what you hear program via settings set to PCML16, restarts program, now go to note symbol next to time on bar, right click note, stream to Symphonempd. Or use your android bubblepnp or other upnp programs. No server at the moment or know the commands to enable mercury nvme in this distro.(If anyone knows email me ppsx@yahoo.com). Took days to get working but worth the time spent.

I am using a rpi 3b with allo digione sig. I have 0.9 version meant for roi 3b. I cant use ethernet cable due to layout of my wifi connection. I carried the rpi unit to my wifi setup and made a temporary connection. SSH into it it and tried to enable the wifi as per a support article on the smpd site regarding enabling wifi on raspberry 3b but it was no go as after reboot there was no net connection.
Any help how to get wifi working on smpd on rpi 3b.
Regards

1. edit config.txt
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi
↓
#dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi
2. edit wifi setting
sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
⇨ edit your ssid and passwd
3. create new file
sudo nano /boot/wlan0.network
[Match]Name=wlan0
[Network]DHCP=both
4. create link
sudo ln -s /boot/wlan0.network /etc/systemd/network/wlan0.network
5. reboot
Thanks for reaching out but it is not working. No network through wifi. Even ethernet is now broken. Rpi has booted but no network connection.Hi, I followed the below guide to make wifi work. (You need to temporarily connect to wired to be able to ssh to it)

Sorry to ask, but I just like to know your configuration, do you know how to work with nano? (Ctrl + O, Enter to save ; CtrL+X to quit)Thanks for reaching out but it is not working. No network through wifi. Even ethernet is now broken. Rpi has booted but no network connection.

I guess if the ethernet was broken, you cannot access it now. Please reload the OS.
Please check the /boot/eth0.network (In my case, I used fixed IP); then check below settings:

Thanks @vucv. for taking the trouble of helping out.Sorry to ask, but I just like to know your configuration, do you know how to work with nano? (Ctrl + O, Enter to save ; CtrL+X to quit)
pi@smpd:~ $ ls -lat /etc/systemd/network/wlan0.network
Yes, I can use nano. I wrote the OS again and went through the steps of making the changes to start wifi. After that I ran the commands of troubleshooting as listed by you. All other commands gave the same response as you got above except for these two:
pi@smpd:~ $ ls /boot/
Some of the files listed were different.
pi@smpd:~ $ ls -lat /etc/systemd/network/wlan0.network
This gives an error of no link found.
Tried this command;
sudo ln -s /boot/wlan0.network /etc/systemd/network/wlan0.network
and got an error access denied.
Exited from putty and opened the terminal again. This time I ran the command and got the message that file exists in the directory. Rebooted but no wifi or ethernet.
Once I reach home back from work, I will write the OS again afresh and go through the steps again of wifi installation. Then run the two command:
pi@smpd:~ $ ls /boot/
and compare the output to the output posted by you
pi@smpd:~ $ ls -lat /etc/systemd/network/wlan0.network
see what this gets now
Thanks again

I am using the 0.9.6 version with the xenomai kernel. I think the kernel does not have wifi support. I hope I am wrong. How to check this.

I cannot boot this image. This system system works with firmware like moode, ropieee. I have tried the steps in the FAQ but still same boot problem. Posting here for some ideas. I changed the overlay to the allo-boss-pcm and still same hard hang on boot issue.

I assume you are trying to load v.1.07 downloaded from the Symphonic site? If so, just follow the instructions by wric01 above (post #389) - you need to take some boot files from a working 64 bit image and copy them onto your image.
