Configuration

Note: In order to understand if people are using Pibox, GoatCounter is used to track basic usage. It does not store any personal data. If you do not want analytics to be collected, you can disable it by setting the disable_analytics config option to true in your Mopidy config file.

Before starting Mopidy, you must add configuration for Mopidy-Pibox to your Mopidy configuration file:

[pibox]
enabled = true
offline = false
default_skip_threshold = 3
default_playlists =
  spotify:playlist:79inBfAlnfUB7i5kRthmWL
disable_analytics = false

The following configuration values are available:

• pibox/enabled: If the pibox extension should be enabled or not. Defaults to true.

• pibox/offline: If the extension should be used offline. Defaults to false.

• pibox/default_skip_threshold: The default number of votes required to skip a track. Defaults to 3.

• pibox/default_playlists: The URIs of the default playlists to play from when starting a new session. Defaults to a Spotify playlist of great party songs. Save it to your Spotify library!

• pibox/disable_analytics: Stops GoatCounter analytics from being included in the Pibox web app. Defaults to false.
