    Hi,

    I'm running RompR 0.61 with mpd 0.18.0 on my VDR (a simple EasyVDR 2.0). The web server is lighttpd 1.4.33-1+nmu2ubuntu2. (I want to stream the music into the LAN, so Mopidy isn't really an alternative.)

    I get the error „Player Error: ACK [2@1] {play} Bad song index” when I try to add a folder, track, or m3u-file (from the music directory) to the mpd-playlist or when I try to load a saved playlist with a special character in the name. When I add a folder, m3u-file, or saved playlist that contains a track with a special character in the name this track is missing in the mpd-playlist. When I try to drag such a folder from the file browser to the mpd-playlist the error comes twice.

    In the file browser or music collection RompR shows all these folders and tracks and the m3u-files that are in the music directory. When I add the same playlist etc. with another client to mpd RompR show the tracks in the mpd-playlist without problem. And I can start these tracks in RompR, too.

    mpd itself and other clients have no problems with special characters. MPDroid even shows the covers without problems (folder.jpg from the music folders via lighttpd).

    Seems like UTF-8 is missing at some point. (I have to start the MinimServer with "LANG=de_DE.utf8 /opt/minim/minimserver/bin/startd" so it handles special characters correctly.)

    Thanks for any help
    Thomas

    Hi, could you advise on how you set MPDroid to download local packages stored in a music folder? Please, step by step. Thank you very much

    Of course, I know, but I'm using Rompr on NAS Asustor, and over Mpdroid I control him. At the top of the list, albumart was shown via Lighttpd, I would be interested in this.

    If you are using MPDroid, then you are not using Rompr. MPDroid controls the music player daemon. If you have questions about MPDroid then you need to ask on an MPDroid forum.
