Ansible role to install MPD - music player daemon.
None
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
mpd_root_path: "~/.mpd"
The root path for all databases and files for MPD.
mpd_music_directory: "~/music"
This setting controls the top directory which MPD will search to discover the available audio files and add them to the daemon's online database. This setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol.
mpd_playlist_directory: "{{ mpd_root_path }}/playlists"
This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled.
mpd_db_file: "{{ mpd_root_path }}/database"
This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to load the database at server start up and store the database while the server is not up. This setting defaults to disabled which will allow MPD to accept files over ipc socket (using file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol.
mpd_log_file: "{{ mpd_root_path }}/log"
These settings are the locations for the daemon log files for the daemon. These logs are great for troubleshooting, depending on your log_level settings. The special value "syslog" makes MPD use the local syslog daemon. This setting defaults to logging to syslog, otherwise logging is disabled.
mpd_pid_file: "{{ mpd_root_path }}/pid"
This setting sets the location of the file which stores the process ID for use of mpd --kill and some init scripts. This setting is disabled by default and the pid file will not be stored.
mpd_state_file: "{{ mpd_root_path }}/state"
This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about most variables to get MPD back into the same general shape it was in before it was brought down. This setting is disabled by default and the server state will be reset on server start up.
mpd_sticker_file: "{{ mpd_root_path }}/sticker.sql"
The location of the sticker database. This is a database which manages dynamic information attached to songs.
mpd_user: mpd
This setting specifies the user that MPD will run as. MPD should never run as root and you may use this setting to make MPD change its user ID after initialization. This setting is disabled by default and MPD is run as the current user.
mpd_group: mpd
This setting specifies the group that MPD will run as. If not specified primary group of user specified with "user" setting will be used (if set). This is useful if MPD needs to be a member of group such as "audio" to have permission to use sound card.
mpd_bind_address: any
mpd_socket: "{{ mpd_root_path }}/socket"
This setting sets the address and socket for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention should be paid if this is assigned to anything other then the default, any. This setting can deny access to control of the daemon.
mpd_port: 6600
This setting is the TCP port that is desired for the daemon to get assigned to.
mpd_log_level: default
This setting controls the type of information which is logged. Available setting arguments are "default", "secure" or "verbose". The "verbose" setting argument is recommended for troubleshooting, though can quickly stretch available resources on limited hardware storage.
mpd_gapless_mp3_playback: yes
If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves the problem, it is highly recommended to fix the MP3 files with vbrfix (available from http://www.willwap.co.uk/Programs/vbrfix.php), at which point gapless MP3 playback can be enabled.
mpd_restore_paused: no
Setting "restore_paused" to "yes" puts MPD into pause mode instead of starting playback after startup.
mpd_save_absolute_paths_in_playlists: no
This setting enables MPD to create playlists in a format usable by other music players.
mpd_metadata_to_use: "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,composer,performer,disc"
This setting defines a list of tag types that will be extracted during the audio file discovery process. The complete list of possible values can be found in the user manual.
mpd_auto_update: yes
This setting enables automatic update of MPD's database when files in music_directory are changed.
mpd_auto_update_depth: 3
Limit the depth of the directories being watched, 0 means only watch the music directory itself. There is no limit by default.
mpd_follow_outside_symlinks: yes
If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following symbolic links outside of the configured music_directory.
mpd_follow_inside_symlinks: yes
If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following symbolic links inside of the configured music_directory.
mpd_zeroconf_enabled: yes
If this setting is set to "yes", service information will be published with Zeroconf / Avahi.
mpd_zeroconf_name: "Music Player"
The argument to this setting will be the Zeroconf / Avahi unique name for this MPD server on the network.
