==== MPD Notes ==== | |||
* Make sure to install ffmpeg-full, using opkg install ffmpeg-full EXPLICITLY, otherwise ffmpeg-mini will be installed (which miraculously does NOT include support for the simplest format there is, .WAV Files) | |||
* ffprobe is a useful tool to install | |||
* Modify the /etc/init.d/mpd File to run as root:root (just do it, saves a lot of trouble later) | |||

REMEMBER: PulseAudio has to be properly configured and running for Bluetooth (bluetoothctl) to work! and because OpenWRT doesn't include of the Bluez Tools (nope, not Blues Clues), make sure PulseAudio has the Bluetooth Modules loaded up and ready to go (IE, the AVAHI version of PulseAudio)! | |||
See: [[PulseAudio on OpenWRT with MPD and other Stuff#Installation of Software]] | |||
AND make sure the /etc/pulse/system.pa loads the Bluetooth Module | |||
