Mopidy Music Server Configuration

This repository contains the configuration and setup for the local Mopidy instance. Mopidy acts as the primary music logic server (Radio, Local Files, Extensions) feeding into the Snapcast multi-room audio system.

🎵 System Architecture

Core: Mopidy (Python-based music server).
Output: Pipes audio to Snapserver via a Named Pipe (/tmp/snapfifo).
Frontend: Iris Web Interface (Port 6680).
Extensions: mopidy-radionet, mopidy-local, etc.

📂 Key Files

mopidy.conf: The master configuration file. Controls enabled plugins, file paths, and GStreamer audio pipelines.
requirements.txt (Optional): Python pip dependencies for installed plugins.

⚙️ Configuration Highlights

Audio Output (Snapcast Link)

To ensure compatibility with Snapserver, the audio output is forced to 48kHz Stereo 16-bit and written to the pipe:

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