   Hi,
   I’ve just updated to O!MPD v1.05
   It runs just fine on Raspberry Pi 2 under Debian Buster (and Audiophonics I-Sabre DAC ES9023) with Nginx on PHP 7.3 and MariaDB.
   Thanks a lot for your work !

   First off all thank you for your excellent work on ompd! I can imagine, how may hours you are
   working for such a project with an excellent user interface and great flexibility.

   I am interested in music and IT like you, therefor i started with the music box “otto” from (http://cardhouse.com/otto) in 2004 and calliope by neil verplank (http://neil.verplank.org/) which were written in Perl. After hard work converting them to Php (on a LAMP-server), i found netjukebox and after that, i saw that your work with OMPD has much more progress, than mine.

   One of OMPDs special features is to play youtube stream. Unfortunatly this didn’t work for me.
   My environment: Kubuntu 18.04.4, Apache 2.4, Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.43-MariaDB and PHP 7.2.24.
   MPD is version 0.20.1 and OMPD is version 1.05.

   I found the following:
   If i add for example the stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn8phH0k5HI to the favorites,
   it is stored as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn8phh0k5hi. As you see, all upper cases changed
   to lower cases, which in result pointed to a wrong stream.
   WIth phpmyadmin i administered my database and corrected this entry in table favoriteitem, to see
   if this is the bug. But in this case clicking on the above favorite, thefollowing entry in the playlist was shown:

   watch?v=Vn8phH0k5HI
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn8phH0k5HI

   Playing the entry gives the following result in the mpd.log:

   Dec 27 17:56 : exception: Failed to decode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn8phH0k5HI
   Dec 27 17:56 : player: played “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn8phH0k5HI”

   I tried to find out, if mpd is working correctly and found this:
   https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180478

   If i tried out the command:
   my-system:~$ youtube-dl -F Vn8phH0k5HI
   [youtube] Vn8phH0k5HI: Downloading webpage
   [youtube] Vn8phH0k5HI: Downloading video info webpage
   [info] Available formats for Vn8phH0k5HI:
   format code extension resolution note
   249 webm audio only tiny 55k , opus @ 50k (48000Hz), 2.94MiB
   250 webm audio only tiny 72k , opus @ 70k (48000Hz), 3.88MiB
   140 m4a audio only tiny 130k , m4a_dash container, mp4a.40.2@128k (44100Hz), 7.33MiB
   …
   As you see, the 140-format is listed. Next i tried the command:
   my-system:~$ mpc add $(youtube-dl –prefer-insecure -g -f140 Vn8phH0k5HI)
   which added the following to the playlist:
   videoplayback?expire=1577487832&ei=eDkGXpCyBY7N1gLnurjQDA&ip=2001%3A4dd2%3Ab828%3A0%3Af030%3Aa2a%3A42cf%3A1914&id=o-ANHJx6vZpxeOo4zvcthufH_Vwv3CFw9C6m0MZ4SMY_Sp&itag=140&source=youtube&requiressl=yes&mm=31%2C29&mn=sn-oxujvavbox-jbol%2Csn-4g5ednss&ms=au%2Crdu&mv=m&mvi=2&pl=29&initcwndbps=1553750&mime=audio%2Fmp4&gir=yes&clen=7687854&dur=474.987&lmt=1577219868781946&mt=1577466111&fvip=3&keepalive=yes&fexp=23842630&c=WEB&txp=5531432&sparams=expire%2Cei%2Cip%2Cid%2Citag%2Csource%2Crequiressl%2Cmime%2Cgir%2Cclen%2Cdur%2Clmt&lsparams=mm%2Cmn%2Cms%2Cmv%2Cmvi%2Cpl%2Cinitcwndbps&lsig=AHylml4wRAIgbTQfXRJCfT-gR7bpZmMH7Xq1glqMYWHdNjsrRtfVBnQCIGk29Phn6pH1Fcpj4ZoioAYUZdFIF6Xfib6CeV_AS1Jq&sig=ALgxI2wwRQIhAL8EwcDy5cF04faKbLDIKW0R1J46wO53dfy8DHDev7DMAiBTO7QJVgW6dS6G9HArylMwIWhW1uAPNq4fcTLcu4gsDQ==&ratebypass=yes

   (Sorry for the long output, but this was displayed.) Surprisingly OMPS does this streaming well.

   I hope, my remarks could be useful for you, to find a solution for that, which would be great.
   It seems to bee a bug in the play.php. I played around with some options in the config file:
   $cfg[‘youtube-dl_options’] = ‘–prefer-insecure -g -f140’;
   but nothing worked.

   Again, thanks a lot for your great work and many greetings.
   Best regards
   Egon

      Hi Egon,
      thanks for comment and your suggestions.

      The only way (for now) to play YT is using NowPlaying -> Add -> paste YT link, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn8phH0k5HI -> click Add button. After this youtube-dl is started on the www server and long url for audio stream is resolved. Next, this url is added to mpd playlist and mpd can play this stream. To this working properly you need to have:
      1. latest version of youtube-dl
      2. correctly defined settings in ‘Play audio from Youtube’ section in config.inc.php. Mine looks like this:
      
$cfg['python_path'] = '';
$cfg['youtube-dl_path'] = '/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl';
$cfg['youtube-dl_options'] = '-j --no-check-certificate --prefer-insecure';
$cfg['youtube_audio_format_name'] = '140 - audio only (tiny)';
$cfg['youtube_indicator'][] = 'www.youtube.';
$cfg['youtube_indicator'][] = 'youtu.be/';
$cfg['youtube_indicator'][] = 'm.youtube.';


      Unfortunately it doesn’t make sense to save this long url as favorites – this url is valid only for certain time (6 hours or so).

      The best (IMO) solution would be resolving url just before playing and sending stream to mpd – just like I did with Tidal. Then url passed to mpd would look like:
      
http://192.168.1.120/ompd/stream.php?action=streamYT&track_id=Vn8phH0k5HI

      (for Tidal it looks like: http://192.168.1.120/ompd/stream.php?action=streamTidal&track_id=118793762)

      I’ll try to do it this way in near future – I’m just working on YT part of O!MPD (displaying YT results in O!MPD search results and adding them to playlist just like it was a local file), so it is a good moment to this.

      Thanks for notice that strings are lowercased after adding to favorites – I’ll take a look at this.

      PS
      O!MPD with newest features is available on GitHub: https://github.com/ArturSierzant/OMPD

      Best regards,
      Artur

   Thanks Artur!

   Impressing work! I have tried a lot of clients, but this is so promising I have spent the whole weekend wrestling with nginx php mysql and mariadb. Now I am waiting for it to scan my library.

   I am running Ubuntu Studio (because of RT kernel) on a barebone Intel without fans. Filestorage is FreeNAS.

   Using sqlite would be an improvement since you don’t need to install and configure a proper database. The databasefiles would reside inside the installation directory. A security thing as well.

   Please share how to connect to Tidal.

   Best regards
   Mårten

      Hi Mårten,
      thanks for comment.

      I hope you succeeded with scanning – this is the part of O!MPD that causes most problems…

      I know about sqlite, but changing from MySQL to sqlite is a lot of work. If I decided to do something with DB, I would probably change it to PDO – it seems to be more flexible.

      As for Tidal – you need to set (I assume you have latest O!MPD version from GitHub):

      $cfg[‘tidal_username’]
      $cfg[‘tidal_password’]
      $cfg[‘tidal_token’]

      in config.inc.php. This will let you interact with Tidal DB (searching, listing tracks in album, etc.). To play tracks you have at least 2 possibilities:

      1. using mpd – you need mpd version >= 0.21. In this case set $cfg[‘tidal_direct’] = false; You also have to set Tidal part in mpd config file.
      2. using O!MPD – you need any mpd version with http/https stream support. In this case set $cfg[‘tidal_direct’] = true;

      The most critical is tidal_token – you can find instruction how to get it here https://github.com/lucaslg26/TidalAPI. You can also search token in the Internet.

      In case of any problems feel free to write.

      Best regards,
      Artur

   Can you help with that Tidal problem?

      Hi,

      it looks like TidalAPI (tidalapi/tidal_api.php) is not loaded. O!MPD loads this only if you set all necessary Tidal credential. This can be done in include/config.inc.php, section Tidal. You have to set username/password/token to Tidal work properly. Unfortunately Tidal recently has banned some well-known tokens…

      Anyway, please check settings in include/config.inc.php

      Regards,
      Artur

   Thnx for the reply, but turns out I had an error in the config. Works like a charm with a token I have been using with a different app. But still got a different question.
   I’m running mpd on a different host than o!mpd. Should o!mpd in this case show the mpd library?

      No, O!MPD doesn’t use mpd library and can’t import or show data from it. Actually O!MPD doesn’t need mpd library i.e it can work with any mpd even if this mpd doesn’t have access to your media files or its database is empty: in these cases O!MPD sends stream to mpd.
