Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
If you want use Mopidy to play music you have locally at your machine, you need
|
|
to review and maybe change some of the local extension config values. See above
|
|
for a complete list. Then you need to generate a tag cache for your local
|
|
music...
|
|

Generating a tag cache
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
The program :command:`mopidy-scan` will scan the path set in the
|
|
:confval:`local/media_dir` config value for any media files and build a MPD
|
|
compatible ``tag_cache``.
|
|
|
|
To make a ``tag_cache`` of your local music available for Mopidy:
|
|
|
|
#. Ensure that the :confval:`local/media_dir` config value points to where your
|
|
music is located. Check the current setting by running::
|
|
|
|
mopidy --show-config
|
|
|
|
#. Scan your media library. The command outputs the ``tag_cache`` to
|
|
standard output, 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
|
|
set in the :confval:`local/tag_cache_file` config value, or change the
|
|
config value to point to where your ``tag_cache`` file is.
|
|
|
|
#. Start Mopidy, find the music library in a client, and play some local music!
