Hi.
Relative Noob (owned various pi since 2012)
Trying pirate audio amp with mopidy to use as home made ‘boombox’.
My mopidy Iris can not find the music I have placed in /pi/home/Music
I have searched around on mopidy forums
Installed twice
Now using June 2020 raspbian as posts from this time imply working systems.
Help?
Had just come across a fix for this from another forum post. https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/pirate-audio-mopidy-setup-issues/13138
The command “sudo mopidyctl local scan” mentioned in the getting started guide was not working, was getting this sort of error:
$ sudo mopidyctl local scan
Running “/usr/bin/mopidy --config /usr/share/mopidy/conf.d:/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf local scan” as user mopidy
usage: mopidy [-h] [–version] [-q] [-v] [–config FILES] [-o OPTIONS]unrecognized command: local
More specifically, Mopidy-Local does not appear to be bundled in by default anymore (looks like it was in older versions)
Fixes - install the local extension
sudo python3 -m pip install Mopidy-Local
Edit the config file /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf
sudo vi /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf
Add these lines (adjust the path for your pi)
[local]
media_dir = /home/pi/Music
Restart service
sudo systemctl restart mopidy
Try the local scan command again
sudo mopidyctl local scan

Thank you so much
that worked perfectly
I should add for the benefit of those that follow, in Iris you need to click the cloud icon in the top right when looking for files and ensure Local is ticked, when you refresh you will see your music.
