As I have no experience with mpd (yet) I don't know what may be causing this, but ... * Can you play local files with mpd/ncmpcpp? * Can you play streaming radio on mpd from another url? * Is it only the mpd/ncmpcpp combination, IOW, what about trying another client. I put into Google: mpd streaming radio "permission denied" and got back quite a few hits - maybe one of those will help? Web Results 1 - 10 of about 26,000 for mpd streaming radio "permission denied". (0.35 seconds) P.S. Probably not a good idea to use 'steaming radio' as a search term. :-D -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
