Getting Help
We have a forum and an IRC channel for requesting help (see links on the left). Before you go there:
- read the manual and its troubleshooting chapter
- check file permissions
- check the log file (--verbose)
- make sure you have the latest MPD version (0.23.16)
- make sure you have the latest version of all decoder libraries
When you do request help, post the following data (use paste.debian.net on IRC):
- output of “mpd --version”
- your configuration file (mpd.conf)
- relevant portions of the log file (--verbose)
- be clear about what you expect MPD to do, and what is actually happening
Your collaboration is necessary to solve your problem. We can’t help you if you don’t follow the instructions above.
If MPD crashes, do not ask for help! Submit a bug report instead (with a full backtrace).
