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 local library for your local
|
|
music...
|
|
|

.. _generating-a-local-library:

|
|
|
Generating a local library
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
The command :command:`mopidy local scan` will scan the path set in the
|
|
:confval:`local/media_dir` config value for any audio files and build a
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
To make a local library for your 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 config
|
|
|
|
#. Scan your media library.::
|
|
|
|
mopidy local scan
|
|
|
|
#. Start Mopidy, find the music library in a client, and play some local music!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plugable library support
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Local libraries are fully pluggable. What this means is that users may opt to
|
|
disable the current default library `local-json`, replacing it with a third
|
|
party one. When running :command:`mopidy local scan` mopidy will populate
|
|
whatever the current active library is with data. Only one library may be
|
|
active at a time.
