How do I disable MPD support in forked-daapd

[ocwo92]

I want to run forked-daapd on my server but it seems to conflict with MPD. Specifically, it fails with the following log output:

[  LOG]      mpd: Could not create connection listener for mpd clients on port 6600
[FATAL]     main: MPD thread failed to start

which makes perfect sense because MPD is already listening on port 6600.

However, I can't find any documentation on how to configure forked-daapd, so I don't know how to disable its MPD service, if at all possible.

How do I prevent forked-daapd from servicing MPD clients?

Edit /etc/forked-daapd.conf and set the port to 0:

# MPD configuration (only have effect if MPD enabled - see README/INSTALL)
mpd {
# TCP port to listen on for MPD client requests.
# Default port is 6600, set to 0 to disable MPD support.
# port = 6600

# HTTP port to listen for artwork requests (only supported by some MPD clients
# and will need additional configuration in the MPD client to work).
# Set to 0 to disable serving artwork over http.
# http_port = 0
}

Wonderful, thanks! I wasn't able to find this documentation anywhere. Where did you find it?
