I’ve been trying to get a newer version of MPD running on my volumio installations (both 1.55 and 2.0).
However it seems that if I use the script found in the build section: github.com/volumio/Build/blob/m … pdbuild.sh
Or any other build MPD script I run into some problems.
Since 1.55 is no longer supported I will focus on 2.0. I was able to compile a newer version (0.19.17), but I needed to update the mpd.conf:
The bind_to_address value cannot be ‘any’ but must be set to 127.0.0.1
The samplerate_converter value ‘soxr very high’ is no longer recognized
That is super news! Thanks! I’ve tried updating myself but I am missing 90% of the plugins I could test it for you however, I have spare pi’s for that purpose (with DAC).
I either need a deb-file or noob proof instructions
I think I have the correct package now… but it doesn’t install because of the following error:
volumio@volumio:~$ sudo dpkg -i mpd-volumio_0.19.17-1_armhf.deb
[sudo] password for volumio:

dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
mpd-volumio_0.19.17-1_armhf.deb
So I removed the package mpd
sudo dpkg -P mpd
After that I could install mpd using “sudo dpkg -i mpd-volumio_0.19.17-1_armhf.deb”.
But obviously the config was gone because of the dpkg -P command, so I copied that before I updated.
After installation the ‘mpd -V’ command gives me the correct values, I guess. But I cannot add new mounts through the volumio app. Will try if the already made connections persist or not. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction?
The package I compiled is attached, note: it has been compiled on a rPi2B running version 979 use it at your own risk. mpd-volumio_0.19.17-1_armhf.zip (241 KB)
