Installation
Install by running:
sudo python3 -m pip install Mopidy-Local
See https://mopidy.com/ext/local/ for alternative installation methods.
Configuration
Before starting Mopidy, you must add configuration for
Mopidy-Local to your Mopidy configuration file:
[local]
media_dir = /path/to/your/music/archive
The following configuration values are available:
local/enabled: If the local extension should be enabled or not.
Defaults to true.
local/media_dir: Path to directory with local media files.
local/max_search_results: Number of search results that should be returned. Default is 100.
local/scan_timeout: Number of milliseconds before giving up scanning a
file and moving on to the next file.
local/scan_follow_symlinks: If we should follow symlinks found in
local/media_dir.
local/scan_flush_threshold: Number of tracks to wait before telling
library it should try and store its progress so far. Some libraries might not
respect this setting. Set this to zero to disable flushing.
local/included_file_extensions: File extensions to include when scanning
the media directory. Values should be separated by either comma or newline.
Each file extension should start with a dot, .e.g. .flac. Setting any
values here will override the existence of local/excluded_file_extensions.
local/excluded_file_extensions: File extensions to exclude when scanning
the media directory. Values should be separated by either comma or newline.
Each file extension should start with a dot, .e.g. .html. Defaults to a
list of common non-audio file extensions often found in music collections.
This config value has no effect if local/included_file_extensions is set.
local/directories: List of top-level directory names and URIs
for browsing.
local/timeout: Database connection timeout in seconds.
local/use_artist_sortname: Whether to use the sortname field for
ordering artist browse results. Disabled by default, since this may
give confusing results if not all artists in the library have proper
sortnames.
local/album_art_files: List of file names to check for when searching
for external album art. These may contain UNIX shell patterns,
i.e. *, ?, etc.
Usage
Generating a library
The command mopidy local scan will scan the path set in the
local/media_dir config value for any audio files and build a
library of metadata.
To make a local library for your music available for Mopidy:
Ensure that the 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!
Updating the library
When you’ve added or removed music in your collection and want to update
Mopidy’s index of your local library, you need to rescan:
mopidy local scan
Options can be specified to control the behavior of the scan command:
--force Force rescan of all media files
--limit <number> Maximum number of tracks to scan
Example:
mopidy local scan --limit 50
Clearing the library
To delete your local images and clear your local library:
mopidy local clear
A prompt will ask you to confirm this irreversible operation.
