Pirate Audio Several problems

Support
1

Hi, new user to Pirate Audio and mopidy.

So I got a brand new Pi Zero W, Pirate Audio Hat, fresh install of Pi OS lite setup. Super basic stuff, get OS installed, connect to wifi, run updates, follow instructions over here: https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/getting-started-with-pirate-audio.

Once it’s done I can see Iris on port 6680 as expected so far so good.

However once I drop a few .mp3 files in the \home\pi\Music folder I’m unable to actually see the files in Iris. So I go look at the /var/log/syslog and I see this: Sep 29 00:00:55 pizeromusicplayer mopidy[5752]: WARNING [FileBackend-3] mopidy.file.library Failed looking up file:///home/pi/Music/filename.mp3: Timeout after 1000ms

So I do some more looking around directory and files are all owned by PI:
drwxr-xr-x 3 pi pi 4096 Sep 28 23:34 Music

So I go over to the mopidy site: https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/raspberrypi/#testing-sound-output and try to play a test sound and that doesn’t seem to work either.

Is the git repo/installer missing some steps or the instructions maybe? Following along as a newbie I’d expect the instructions to sort of work. I saw a few posts about how the music directory should not be pi because mopidy doesn’t run as pi so maybe that is part of the problem?

Little more info below, I haven’t done anything here just a fresh install. If there is something else I could toss out there to help troubleshoot please let me know. I’m semi new to all this.
