Mopidy-Local-SQLite 1.0.0

Mopidy SQLite local library extension

Mopidy-Local-SQLite is a Mopidy local library extension that uses an SQLite database for keeping track of your local media. This extension lets you browse your music collection by album, artist, composer and performer, and provides full-text search capabilities based on SQLite’s FTS modules. It also notices updates via mopidy local scan while Mopidy is running, so you can scan your media library periodically from a cron job, for example.

Installation

Mopidy-Local-SQLite can be installed using pip by running:

pip install Mopidy-Local-SQLite

Configuration

Before starting Mopidy, you must change your configuration to switch to using Mopidy-Local-SQLite as your preferred local library. It is also recommended to change the default scan_flush_threshold, to improve database access during a local scan:

[local]
library = sqlite
scan_flush_threshold = 100

Once this has been set you need to re-scan your library to populate the database:

mopidy local scan

This extension also provides some configuration settings of its own, but be aware that these are still subject to change:

[local-sqlite]

Known Bugs and Limitations

The database schema does not support multiple artists, composers or performers for a single track or album. Look out for “Ignoring multiple artists” warnings during a local scan to see if you are affected by this.
