Pirate audio / mopidy Can't find local files

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
