# Introduction

The `mopidyplayer` extension enables your nextcloud(pi) as a media player using the [mopidy backend](https://mopidy.com/)

It requires some manual modification on the system. So be aware that 3rd party software is being installed due the the below instruction.

Also, a new user "mopidy" is being used to manage the audio output and mixer parts (esspacially important for bluetooth connections)

# Installation and Configuration

Install the required packages on your system

```
sudo apt install mopidy mopidy-tunein gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
sudo apt install pulseaudio pulsemixer
```
## Enable and run mopidy

Make sure the mopidy service is running and enabled during startup

```
sudo systemctl status mopidy.service
sudo systemctl enable mopidy.service # if necessary
```

## Enable pulseaudio as service for user mopidy

Insert below content into `/etc/systemd/system/pulseaudio.service`

```
[Unit]

After=network.target

[Service]
Type=notify
User=mopidy
ExecStart=pulseaudio --daemonize=no --realtime --log-target=journal

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

## Enable Bluetooth support

To allow mopidy the bluetooth access the following steps are required

```
sudo usermod -a -G bluetooth mopidy # allow the mopidy user to control bluetooth
