BACKENDS = (u'mopidy.backends.local.LocalBackend',)
Previously this backend relied purely on ``tag_cache`` files from MPD, to
remedy this the command ``mopidy-scan`` has been added. This program will scan
your current ``LOCAL_MUSIC_FOLDER`` and build a MPD compatible ``tag_cache``.
Currently the command outputs the ``tag_cache`` to ``stdout``, this means that
you will need to run ``mopidy-scan > path/to/your/tag_cache`` to actually start
using your new cache.
You may also want to change some of the ``LOCAL_*`` settings. See
:mod:`mopidy.settings`, for a full list of available settings.
.. note::
Currently, Mopidy supports using Spotify *or* local storage as a music
source. We're working on using both sources simultaneously, and will
hopefully have support for this in the 0.3 release.
Generating a tag cache
----------------------
Previously the local storage backend relied purely on ``tag_cache`` files
generated by the original MPD server. To remedy this the command
:command:`mopidy-scan` has been created. The program will scan your current
:attr:`mopidy.settings.LOCAL_MUSIC_FOLDER` and build a MPD compatible
``tag_cache``.
To make a ``tag_cache`` of your local music available for Mopidy:
#. Ensure that :attr:`mopidy.settings.LOCAL_MUSIC_FOLDER` points to where your
music is located. Check the current setting by running::
mopidy --list-settings
#. Scan your music library. Currently the command outputs the ``tag_cache`` to
``stdout``, which means that you will need to redirect the output to a file
yourself::
mopidy-scan > tag_cache
#. Move the ``tag_cache`` file to the location
:attr:`mopidy.settings.LOCAL_TAG_CACHE` is set to, or change the setting to
point to where your ``tag_cache`` file is.
#. Start Mopidy, find the music library in a client, and play some local music!
