Mopidy on a Raspberry Pi Model B

These instructions help you install Mopidy onto a Raspberry Pi Model B. It is assumed the Pi will be running the latest version of Raspian.

NOTE These are not up to date and it's probably better to use Ubuntu 20 LTS

Mopidy

Add the archive’s GPG key:

$ wget -q -O - https://apt.mopidy.com/mopidy.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Add the APT repo to your package sources:

$ sudo wget -q -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mopidy.list https://apt.mopidy.com/buster.list

Install Mopidy and any 3rd Party extensions you may want:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install mopidy

$ sudo apt-get install mopidy-spotify

Config

Once installed you can now configure by editing /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf.

# /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf

[core]
cache_dir = /var/cache/mopidy
config_dir = /etc/mopidy
data_dir = /var/lib/mopidy

[audio]
# Only needed if running Icecast2
# output = tee name=t ! queue ! audioresample ! autoaudiosink t. ! queue ! lamemp3enc ! shout2send mount=radio ip=127.0.0.1 port=8000 password=hackme
mixer_volume = 40

[logging]
config_file = /etc/mopidy/logging.conf
debug_file = /var/log/mopidy/mopidy-debug.log

[local]
enabled = false
#media_dir = /var/lib/mopidy/media

[m3u]
#playlists_dir = /var/lib/mopidy/playlists

[file]
enabled = false

[http]
enabled = true
hostname = 0.0.0.0
port = 6680
static_dir =

[spotify]
enabled = true
username = xxx
password = xxx
client_id = xxx
client_secret = xxx
#private_session = true

[mpd]
enabled = true
hostname = 0.0.0.0
port = 6600
#password =
max_connections = 20
connection_timeout = 60
zeroconf = Mopidy MPD server on $hostname
command_blacklist =
  listall
  listallinfo
default_playlist_scheme = m3u

Running Mopidy as Service

$ sudo systemctl enable mopidy

Mopidy is started, stopped, and restarted just like any other systemd service:

$ sudo systemctl start mopidy
$ sudo systemctl stop mopidy
$ sudo systemctl restart mopidy

You can check if Mopidy is currently running as a service by running:

$ sudo systemctl status mopidy
...

### Audio

You can test sound output independent of Mopidy by running:

$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

If you hear a voice saying “Front Center”, then your sound is working. If you want to change your audio output setting, simply rerun sudo raspi-config

Audio aliases

Here’s are some alias you can add to ~.bashrc to control the volume of the PI as by default it’s very quiet.

INCREASE VOLUME BY 5%

alias volu='sudo amixer set PCM -- $[$(amixer get PCM|grep -o [0-9]*%|sed 's/%//')+5]%'

DECREASE VOLUME BY 5%

alias vold='sudo amixer set PCM -- $[$(amixer get PCM|grep -o [0-9]*%|sed 's/%//')-5]%'

MPC

Allows you to control Mopidy via the command line on the PI

$ sudo apt-get install mpc

Example usage

mpc add "spotify:track:0c41pMosF5Kqwwegcps8ES"
mpc playlist
mpc play 1

Date

Setting the correct data on your Pi

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Node.js and Yarn

These will be useful if you are running the Jukebox
