Topic: Audio codecs problem and MPD

[mishoboss]

Hi, I compiled and installed MPD 0.12.1 on SME 7.0, but when I get to phpMp2 web client I see just "No directories found. No files found. No playlists found."

"mpd --version" command shows this:

mpd (MPD: Music Player Daemon) 0.12.1

There are no supported formats. I search the WEB and I found that SME Server has no audio codecs and so on, so I followed this howto to install some stuff: http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver//contribs/beckynet/smeserver/7.x/Howto-Play-Sound-In-Console-Mode/Howto-Play-Sound-In-Console-Mode.htm.
Then again I run "./configure" and "make" and "make install" to compile and install MPD. Nothing is changed...

When I run "./configure" in the end I see the following:

########### MPD CONFIGURATION ############

 Playback Support:

configure: error: No input plugins supported!

Nothing is enabled except the OSS and ALSA.

I can hear the music with this command "mpg123 /home/e-smith/files/ibays/music/html/files/NELLY.MP3", so I think I have the codecs I need. So why MPD can't see them? Is there a way to run the configure script with something like this "./configure --enable-mp3 --enable-id3" and so on?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. This are the answers from the support forum of MPD - http://www.musicpd.org/forum/index.php?topic=1255.0. Is that really the problem? And if is so where can I find the proper RPMs for SME? I tried the rpms in rmseek.com, but they fail on dependecies.

Anybody?

There is still no reply after 8 days...
I don't think I am the first who tries to install MPD on SME. Please, any help will be very appriciated.

If it can help you, i installed the following rpms :

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 387150 jun 21  2005 faad2-2.0-0.lvn.4.4.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 297293 sep  9 21:39 flac-1.1.2-25.i386.rpm

-rw-r--r--  1 root root  69339 aoû 22  2005 ncmpc-0.11.1-4.el4.kb.i386.rpm

Some come from livna repositories for a fedora 4 here : http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/ .. i manually downloaded them
Google for the rpm names to find them..
Its really simpler than trying to build mpd from source..
