[Request] Mopidy and Mopify

[spencers]

I would love to test this out in a dockerized environment. Unless there is something else out there that is similar and already exists in a docker!

 

Mopidy is an extensible music server that plays music from local disk, Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Play Music, and more. You edit the playlist from any phone, tablet, or computer using a range of MPD and web clients. http://www.mopidy.com

And possibly a docker of Mopify, a Mopidy front-end.

There's a container for mopidy on the dockerhub. I pulled it and it works.  Only problem is this bit.

 

PulseAudio over network

First to make audio from from within a Docker container, you should enable PulseAudio over network; so if you have X11 you may for example do:

 

Install PulseAudio Preferences. Debian/Ubuntu users can do this:

 

$ sudo apt-get install paprefs

Launch paprefs (PulseAudio Preferences) > "Network Server" tab > Check "Enable network access to local sound devices" (you may check "Don't require authentication" to avoid mounting cookie file described below).

 

Restart PulseAudio

 

$ sudo service pulseaudio restart

According to this page it should be possible?

Sorry for the massive bump, but I was searching for this exact thing. Otherwise I'll need to set up a VM just for mopidy...

Pulseaudio module isn't activated in Unraid kernel.  Use a VM.

Hi,

 

it is possible to get mopidy running. I will try to explain it short and if you have some questions just ask.

The trick is not to use pulseaudio

 

The docker for that is available at the ca apps. 

 

I am using mopidy with snapcast and icecast for streaming the audio signal. you can use one of it but I love sync multi room audio

 

 

- set up snapcast from kevineye/snapcast 

- set Postargument to snapserver -s pipe:///data/snapfifo?name=Example&sampleformat=44100:16:2

- set up the network to br0 you have to reach your snapcast from the app or snap-client

- mount /mnt/user/appdata/mopidy/tmp/ >> /data for the snapfifo pipe file

 

- or set up icecast from infiniteproject/icecast

- set up the network to br0 you have to reach it over http

- set up env Parameter or use a xml config file

- btw: I had some trouble with stopping the radio by selecting the next track I worked around it wit a fallback config. 

See desciption in: https://hub.docker.com/r/knex666/mopidy

 

- set up the docker from https://hub.docker.com/r/knex666/mopidy

- set up the network to br0
- set up volume mount to /mnt/user/appdata/mopidy/mopidy.conf >> /mopidy.conf

- set up volume mount for tmp/snapfifo if you use snapcast /mnt/user/appdata/mopidy/tmp/ >> /tmp  

- set up volume mount for your local media 

 

generate the mopidy.conf file

Doc here https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/config/

example here https://github.com/wernight/docker-mopidy/blob/master/README.md

authentication for soundcloud and spotify https://www.mopidy.com/authenticate/

 

for audio you need a special config

for snapcast you have to generate the audio output in a pipe file /tmp/snapfifo this is mounted in both docker container

[audio]
output = audioresample ! audio/x-raw,rate=48000,channels=2,format=S16LE ! audioconvert ! wavenc ! filesink location=/tmp/snapfifo

 

icecast

[audio]
output = lamemp3enc ! shout2send async=false mount=mopidy ip=X.X.X.X port=8000 password=XXXXX

 

Here you go you can now use snap-client for multi room sync audio or your own icecast http radio stream.

I added youtube and radio stations and I am using Iris with is a very nice web client.

 

Have fun with it!

Hey, can you explain in a bit more detail how you get snapcast working?

 

I am new to docker (other than the ones in CA Apps) and i cant even see where I would put the docker commands that are on the github repo

 

Cheers

Hey,

 

short answer:

 

for snapcast you have to generate the audio output in a pipe file /tmp/snapfifo this is mounted in both docker container.

 

So you have to mount a volume to both container in the snapcast container from docker /data to /mnt/user/appdata/mopidy/tmp/

and inside mopidy docker /tmp and volume mount to /mnt/user/appdata/mopidy/tmp/

 

Edit the config at the [audio] section:

 

[audio]
output = audioresample ! audio/x-raw,rate=48000,channels=2,format=S16LE ! audioconvert ! wavenc ! filesink location=/tmp/snapfifo

 

and you will be fine.

you will get more advice on this thread:
